Gundam Fire Still

Organs Explained.

As the ground campaign became more widespread on multiple fronts, the combined ground forces, like their counterparts in the universe, slowly began to learn how to fight against the new weaponry of MS at a heavy cost. The Eurasian Union had nearly held off the Zaft offensive at Alamein if it hadn't been for Zaft's quick and accurate airdrops and the efficient interposition of new ground MS units; the advent of the new Zaft ground MS, codenamed Baku, meant that their opponents were rapidly improving their own methods of warfare as well. With the cooperation of the newly formed Intelligence Fusion, a portion of the combat data from the Eurasian Combine at the Battle of El Alamein was provided to the Atlantic Federation across the ocean, and the Army of the Atlantic Federation, enlightened by the equipment and tactics of both sides of the battle, was able to initiate a new generation of tank/ground-armoured combat vehicle development programs.

While most manufacturers were waiting for a breakthrough in the movement mechanism and programming of bipedal walking and thus the development of MS or MS-like bipedal walking carriers, General Dynamics, with its familiarity with tracked marching devices, was the first to introduce the MSD-X, an experimental MS Jagdpanzer program. The program highlighted the tracked system's superior terrain adaptability and speed of movement over the bipedal walking MS in terrain other than urban street fighting and dense forests, and integrated a range of new technologies that had emerged from the Combined Forces prior to the war, and in the early days of the war. Since the heavy armor of the tank was quite vulnerable to beam weapons, General Dynamics abandoned the heavily armored design and moved to enhanced mobility and diverse weapon carriage. Some of the larger MS options were slightly cheaper, and the tracked chassis was more suitable for mass production, with a few modifications, and the vehicle was soon in low volume production.

Fixed armament: adjustable caliber electromagnetic rail gun X1, twin 12.7mm machine guns X1, twin 7.62mm machine guns X1

Armament options: Dense Array MkII electromagnetic gatling, Viper anti-tank missile launcher, ES01G melee module, 20mm cannon battery, Mississippi 4 x 37mm anti-aircraft gun, Guards Closer "Artillery air defence systems, Longbow light anti-aircraft missiles, Fire Dragon six-piece rocket launchers.

Other equipment: smoke grenades, infrared jammer complex, laser suppression-countermeasure system, Prism phased-array radar, Hornet reconnaissance drone.

Armed narrative.

The upper body of the vehicle mounted on a tracked chassis has a similar shape to the MS torso, behind the main armor in the central torso is the rotation mechanism and loading mechanism of the upper body weapon system, and there is a retractable "prism" similar to the MS "head". "The phased-array radar, which can guide a wide range of guided weapons, can still provide the necessary warning, although its performance is severely degraded by neutron jamming. The prismatic radar base is also equipped with electronic warfare and electro-optical observation systems on either side of the prismatic radar base.

On each side of the torso, there is a weapon platform similar to the MS arm, which can be rotated separately. The electromagnetic rail gun mounted on the right arm is a smaller version of the Super Abrams main battle tank's main gun. Its size and weight are slightly reduced, but its rate of fire remains the same, and the initial velocity of the armor-piercing rounds fired is comparable to the original model, which can easily penetrate Ginn's frontal main armor. A 12.7mm twin machine gun that could be individually rotated was fixed to the chassis under the right arm, and could be handed over to a computer for automatic operation, or could be operated directly by the gunner or driver. It shares the anti-infantry/low-altitude drone mission with the 7.62mm machine gun located on the front hull. The 20mm turret can be added to the rear of the hull to allow infantry at any angle to be within its firing range.

The left arm's weapons platform can carry a variety of different weapons through standardized interfaces.

As a representative of the new generation of electromagnetic weapons that emerged since the beginning of the war, the Dense Array Electromagnetic Gatling is not a fully-fledged weapon system, although it has a high rate of fire and excellent armor-piercing capability, the miniaturization of its size has not been successful, and the Dense Array MkI, as a ground-use version adapted from the model used by the Space Force, is somewhat overweight as a standard weapon station module, and its extremely high power is relatively low compared to the standard weapon platform. Rate of fire, relatively inadequate ammunition preparation, and a tendency to overheat when operating in high temperatures. There is a short warm-up time before it fires, which can be fatal in combat. As a result, it was not equipped on the early operational models, and it was not until late in the war that the miniaturized Mk II became a standard module for MSD equipment.

The Viper is an excellent heavy anti-tank missile, its tandem combat section can penetrate most of the targets it may encounter, it can be fired by wire guidance, semi-active laser guidance, infrared tracking and other means of guidance, even under neutron jamming conditions that can not be guided by radio, and in the infrared guidance mode can be launched regardless. The Longbow is a pivoting, column-shaped weapon station that can be mounted on a standard weapon interface. It includes a fully loaded 4-piece launcher and laser beam, and can carry up to six rounds of reserve ammunition (two of the six rounds will be attached to the outside of the weapon station, which is unarmoured and dangerous; only four rounds of reserve ammunition are normally provided).

"The Longbow light anti-aircraft missile is a new generation of General Dynamics' light anti-aircraft missile system, which is primarily used against helicopters and other low-flying units, as well as against soft ground targets and lightly armored vehicles. Its small warhead makes it useless against the main armor of MS or MBT, but it is effective against the less armored helicopter gunships or Zaft's MS. It can track targets using infrared and semi-active radar guidance, and can fire multiple targets under the guidance of Prismatic radar. The weapon station module includes eight fully loaded launch pods and eight rounds of reserve ammunition.

"Mississippi 4 in-line 37mm: This somewhat dated weapon system was originally part of a light self-propelled artillery programme, but with the anticipated changes in the operational environment, the light self-propelled artillery programme was shelved along with many other designs, but the 4 in-line 37mm was designed as part of the Federal Weapons Modularisation Programme (FWMP). A portion of it has been retained. Although many of its functions could be replaced by anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems, it remains on the Commonwealth's list of weapons module options due to its low cost and ease of production.

"The Guardian air defence system consists of a central Vulcan 6-barrel Gatling gun and two twin Longbow missile launchers on either side of the gun. 4 rounds of ammunition. The design was originally developed as a CIWS weapon module for Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) to intercept anti-ship missiles and engage other low to medium altitude targets. It is also effective against Zaft's air combat MS, and has successfully intercepted anti-ship missiles in land combat in North Africa.

ES01G Melee Module: for some designers, the MSD has a tracked ground but can still perform most of the combat tasks that MS can perform, so the MSD is also equipped with a ground version of the beam saber, and the retractable arm and rotation system included with its weapon station is sufficient to allow the MSD to perform fairly standard swinging or thrusting melee maneuvers, but can its pilot get used to the The use of this type of melee weapon remains a problem.

The 107mm nine-piece rocket launcher was a fairly simple weapon produced by East Asia's Northern Heavy Industries that had only a fairly limited guidance capability, but could be fired quickly and provide a high level of support fire in a short period of time. During the stalemate of the war, East Asia supplied the Combined Forces with a large number of inexpensive rocket launchers, which were used on all fronts and were quite well received by the Combined Forces, especially the joint Eurasian forces from the north. They were used extensively on all fronts and were well received by the Combined Forces, especially the Eurasian Coalition Forces from the north, and were referred to simply as "Fire Dragons" by the GIs of the Atlantic Confederation, rather than their strange East Asian designation.

The Humble Beginning - First Production Short Sword

GAT-01E

Pioneer production dagger

Body type: Generic Productive MS Verifier

Manufacturer: United Earth Force - General Dynamics

User: United Earth Force-Atlantic Federation

Initial equipment: CE71

Interior: Standard single-seat MS cockpit

Description：This is the first mass-produced MS for the United Earth Force, and it is the first production MS derived from the MS development program codenamed Project X commissioned by Brigadier General Reeves Halbarton. Although Project X was a non-compliant project and the progress was too slow to produce any MS for some time, the Combined Forces did not start their own MS development program, but instead shifted most of their industrial capacity to produce more mature technology and faster equipment. Force's new MA; the MS Test Team on the lunar surface continued to exist as a test unit for acquiring MS combat data and commissioning new airborne electronic systems. As a result of the slow progress on the ORB side, not only was Halbarton investigated, but other supporters of the MS program on the coalition side began to fall silent.

However, the Battle of Heliopolis, a failure of secrecy when Project X was nearing completion, once again gave supporters of MS tactics in the Combined Forces an argument that the rapid destruction of the ORB defenses by Zaft and the subsequent destruction of the entire Heliopolis satellite was an example of the effectiveness of MS in combat. Although in the aftermath of the battle it became clear that the former was due to the fact that Zaft was a surprise attack and sent mostly elite troops, while the latter was due to the fact that both sides used a lot of heavy weaponry, which was not MS's strong suit.

Regardless, the groundswell of support for MS development, which had become dormant due to the scrutiny of Commodore Halbarton's irregularities, began to rise again, and the subsequent series of battles on Archangel continued to prove the war potential of MS, including those piloted by naturals, with suitable operating systems. With the end of the low orbital campaign and the eventual arrival of Project X's only remaining major remaining fruit, the GATX105 raid, at the lunar surface base, as well as intelligence claims that ORB had already produced its own MS using Project X material, against all odds, the Joint Earth Force and Equipment Committee confirmed and initiated the MS mass production program that had been on hold since Halbarton and others had proposed it.

General Dynamics again gained a head start in the competition over the MS production program, as the X105 raid was eventually delivered to the Ptolemy base on the lunar surface rather than to Alaska or Washington, and the General Dynamics R&D group, which had already been involved in improving the anti-MS Juggernaut on the lunar surface, was able to take advantage of the combat data provided by the raid and another Ginn involved in OS testing and fielding, as well as the lunar surface testing. With the help of some of the OS architecture provided by the team, they spearheaded a simplified mass-production MS proposal and quickly received approval from the Equipment Committee for a small pre-production run at their factory on Earth. All but one of the accepted airframes produced as a result of the stalemate were immediately deployed to front-line combat units for a possible imminent attack on Zaft, with the exception of one validator and one test aircraft. Rumor has it that one of these was shipped to ORB shortly after it left the factory in response to a three-way standoff that occurred after a clash between the Combined Forces and Zaft on the ORB border at the time, with no MS on the Combined Forces side of the disadvantageous situation.

The second MS that went into production after this, with minor improvements to the production line, was the GAT-01 Strong Assault Short Sword, which was officially procured by the Combined Forces.

This solution adopted the X105's main frame and cockpit structure, and eliminated the costly PS armor and corresponding special powertrain in favor of a modified version of the Allied MA engine, which was slightly less powerful but smaller, and used standard composite armor with a heat-resistant coating for the main armor. The main armor was the standard heat-resistant composite armor. However, the aircraft did not have an ejection seat, so the armor belt around the cockpit and power compartment still had a PS armor layer as a key defense, and the high energy battery pack, whose performance had been proven in the X-series battles, was used as the energy source. (The design was removed from later batches for cost reduction as well as to speed up production) The location and number of thruster jets throughout the fuselage were the same as the Ginn's to facilitate design and changes to the operating system, but propulsion was substantially increased over the Ginn, and the back port reserved for attaching additional thrusters or other ancillary equipment. None of the early production short swords were ever equipped with the backpack system, as the first backpacks were not finalized until the GAT-01A1 short swords (the so-called 105 short swords) went into production, by which time nearly half of the early production short swords had been lost, and the rest were retired, eliminating the need for the backpack system.

Fixed armament: 75mm anti-air Vulcan head cannon *1, ES01 beam saber *1

Optional hand weapon: 57 mm beam rifle (with grenade launcher), specialized shield.

Armed Explanation: as this is only a rush-production early production MS, the weapons it can be equipped with are very limited. The ES01 beam saber and 57mm beam rifle are both a continuation of the production weapons development program already started at Heliopolis. The prototypes of both were tested on the Ginn as a test platform and proved their reliability in the Battle of Heliopolis and subsequent encounters. The beam rifle, on the other hand, added a lower-mounted grenade launcher for additional firepower.

The 75mm anti-aircraft Vulcan gun is the same model as the head-mounted Vulcan gun of the G-series MS. Although it is also mounted on the head, the number of guns is reduced to one, and the number of ammunition reserves is also reduced. The reason for this is that the MS head is also where the main observation system of the fuselage is mounted, and a head mounted weapon not only takes up valuable space for the observation and communication systems, but the vibrations caused by rapid-fire gunfire also seriously threaten the life of the precision optical and electronic equipment located in the head, while a sufficiently good damping system takes up more space and makes the entire MS head more crowded. and expensive. As a result, the head Vulcan cannon of this machine was reduced to one, and was later moved to the shoulder or other position on the body of the machine.

The special shield, a feature of the MS, provides the MS with protection from multiple aspects other than armor - as long as the MS pilot is able to point it in the right direction, its outer layer of composite armor is more effective against live weapons, and at the right angle increases the ricochet's The shield is theoretically reusable because the heat-resistant coating on the outside of the composite armor, the shield body with excellent thermal conductivity, and the heat sink inside the shield can absorb the high heat generated by the beam weapon instantly and then slowly radiate out through the heat sink on the back of the shield. The shield is theoretically reusable, but combat experience has shown that in MS combat the shield is in fact expendable, the heat-resistant coating and heat sink will be quickly depleted after blocking two or three attacks, but fortunately at a low cost. Some pilots will mount sharp-angled metal underneath the shield for use as a secondary melee weapon, the exact effect of which is unknown, and some units will mount shovel teeth underneath the shield to aid infantry and engineer units in earthmoving operations.

Warrior's End . Farewell

UC0093L1 colonial satellite constellation

The light of the artificial sun had diminished to the brightness of the night, and even in this cylindrical man-made space, the city's complexes shone with a sea of lights to showcase the everyday life of the people; yes, everyday life, everyday life, after all, the war was over.

"It's over, you've come back alive." In the dim light, a slightly older voice came from behind a hand holding a cup

"It's just that he came back alive" in a tone that seemed to bring a hint of a bitter smile in reply, the dark-haired man looked complexly at the glass of wine in front of him

Next, there was a sigh, and then, silence. Everyone knew what the other was going to say next.

"You, aren't you going to drink yet?" The man in the light held up the glass in his hand, the brownish-yellow liquid swirling around in it, mirroring the flickering light

The latter shook his head, "You know, I can't get over that one, so"

"Alas, why embarrass yourself so much?" With his other hand, the man scratched his hair, which was beginning to turn gray.

"It's not a dilemma, really, and it would be even more of a dilemma if I drank again, if, that day, I hadn't, maybe..." The man seemed to be caught up in some kind of painful memory

"'If' is a meaningless word, you told me that" said the last voice, followed by the sound of liquid flowing down the throat "What's past will be past, you remember, that's what Captain Miller said."

"I know, I remember, it was New Year's," murmured the former, "and I remember well, that day, the first day of '80, that's what he said, and after that, that's what I said to you, and that's true, but ... Alas, there is no point in saying it."

"So, there's no need to think about the supposed meaning, right," spitting out a mouthful of wine

"What Mikhail said, you remember too, as he finished his last sip of vodka."

"Won't forget, a lot of things, want to, can't forget, that's the last thing I heard him say, as you know, he was going to say he was going to give me that flask, but what happened after that? Huh."

"So don't make fun of me for dwelling on the past, either, do you, our past is no better than yours."

"Yeah, our past, all that, is what it is" rough hands grabbed the bottle and tipped it back down.

The sound of liquid slashing through the throat mingled with the sound of spilling on the floor.

"A lot has happened, a lot has disappeared, but it's always the same, and at least, now you're kind of relieved, right?"

"Liberation? Easy to say" the man wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth "I'm afraid the only real relief is Captain Miller, Mikhail, Ralph, Lee, just a few of them, we, oh well, some things can't be escaped ah"

"Alas, is that relief?"

"You're almost there, too, and then it's this me that's going to gradually decay, and here I am, waiting for the final call,"
