GN-004 Gundam Icarus with GN Launcher
Unit Type: Tactical Demolition and Sabotage Mobile Suit
Overall Height: 18.3 metres
Base weight: 61 metric tons
Equipment: GN drive
Armament:Technical and Historical Notes: (Always add them, even if I haven't a clue what I'm doing)
- 2x Light Plate Shield, fixed to shoulders;
- GN Launcher, mounts on right shoulder in storage, operated overarm;
- GN Mines, store latched on shoulder shields;
- 2-Tubed Retro-Rocket Launcher, mounted in weapon pod on back;
- GN Beam Knife, stored in weapon pod on back;
The GN-004 Gundam Icarus is the fourth member of the Celestial Being's Gundam team, and closely modeled off a similar frame to the GN-001 Gundam Exia and GN-002 Gundam Dynames. Much like the others of its kind, the Icarus takes on a specific role in combat which designates it as a 'tactical demolition and sabotage' mobile suit. Armed with a variety of mines and explosives, the Icarus is designed to be dropped behind enemy lines and disable military forces, such as other mobile weapons, before they enter combat; a preventive strategy to decrease the number of suits that come against its teammates. Due to extended operation in areas where it will likely be greatly outnumbered, the Icarus is more than capable of defending itself in face-to-face battle using its GN Launcher (though designated more commonly as an anti-craft weapon), and a small defensive GN Beam knife.
Unfortunately, the pilot of the Icarus suffers injuries in active duty, and the Gundam is therefore left in temporary storage until a new capable pilot can be recruited, or the old one recovers.

Optional hand armaments: "Diviner" Arc x 2, attaches to hardpoints on back, fires anti-armor penetration arrows
Technical and Historical Notes:
A limited production Knightmare Frame based on the prototype TAU-1 Einherjar model. Only about three of these units were made, the three referred to as the "Nornir" commonly amongst its developers. While it's produced by a different company than the one which had produced the TAU-1 Einherjar, it adopts a similar model number and is a unit which is used in conjunction with the Einherjar as a vital support unit for various combat ranges. While it removes and replaces some of the systems and equipment used on the Einherjar it is more than capable of standing on near equal footing with it's predecessor.
The Norn is shorter and a bit heavier than the Einherjar, but doesn't slack on speed and mobility. Because it shares a similar frame to the Einherjar it is built for great maneuverability in combat. It also sports a rear-mounted back thruster for quick accelerations and high jumps, granting it some well-needed speed in some harrying situations. The additional bulk is most likely due to its thicker armor. Because the Norn does not sport a Repulse system like the Einherjar, it's given thicker armor for better protection. This allows it a similar defense (though definitely not as strong) while maintaining above average mobility over other Knightmare Frames. It also manages to retain a simplified version of its Ultracompact Float System, and a more basic version of its AI computer system.
The Norn advances upon the laser pistols utilized on the Einherjar, mounting them directly into the frame on its forearms. No longer requiring additional cartridges to reload the weapon, it can fire the weapon continuously to its hearts content until its drive systems require a new energy filler. Unfortunately it can only fire consecutively for ten seconds before overheating, where it then must undergo a minute long cool down before being able to fire again. Another weapon it replaces is the Harken spear; instead it sports the basic Slash Harken on the chest, in a similar if not the same exact position as the Britannian Knightmare Frames. Finally rather than having "Diviner" Swords as optional weapons to mount onto it's back, the Norn is equipped with a "Diviner" Arc; basically, a bow-like weapon which can function as a sword in close combat, which also acts in a similar manner to the "Diviner" Sword. However, it's also capable of firing anti-armor penetration arrows, which are good for disabling an enemy's limbs.

Story: The Federation and Side Three came to a truce after the assassination of the entire Zabi Clan (Mineva included, which was considered a war crime to some) and the discovery of corruption within the Federation and Colonial governments After a quasi official witch hunt for these "bad apples", diplomatic talks were persued between the now unstable Earth Sphere, and the equally unstable side governments. The result of the talks founded the Earth Sphere Democratic Federation, a union of the earth, and all sides in a democratic republic state.
Acting similarly to the republics of ancient Greece and Rome, the Colonies now became self governing in a sense, and as a stipulation to the charter, had to lend assistance (if able) to other sides ravaged in the war and troops to a peacekeeping para-military force, known simply under the acronym ESDFPW for Earth Sphere Democratic Federation Peacekeeping Wing.
To offset the shortage of MS and funds found as a result of the One Year War, the design bureaus for Zeonic, Zimmad, and the Federation, banded together along with a fledgling Anaheim Electronics to form a brain trust collective known as Monomic Industries.
The Gelgoog II or Hi-Gelg was the crowning achievement of this collective, introducing many new technologies including a Panoramic view cockpit, linear seats, and moveable frame technology.
The resulting unit was cheap to build, field, and repair, making it popular with many peacekeeping pilots and tech crews. It has been used in several incursions with Zabi Loyalists, piracy groups, colonial revolutionaries, and former Federal dissidents. In all these incursions, it has proven to be a formidable unit, and plans are currently under way to bring command and recon versions of this suit into existence.

(Pretty much Dom style movement but at a higher altitude.)
Couldn't really come up with a good back story for it but I did design a mass production variant. The MP version doesn't have the OM.AM. (OMni AMalgamated) Sensor Suite and has lower Rocket Thruster output (1 x 40000 kg. and 4 x 25000 kg.)

Kingdom of Scandinavia´s first mobile suit produced. Before CE75 Scandinavians were operating lots of various mobile suits such as salvaged ones from Junk Guild, civilian Astrays and various custom models.
Landser uses same systems for manouvering as TSA DOM Trooper´s used during war. It is specially developed for defense campaigns on Scandinavian Kingdoms whole area. Suit is ideal for close combat and shock assaults with it´s Lancer and rifle in other hand. Lance can use electric shock to fry enemy MS equipment even on EMP-shielded units.
Landser has specialized diversion systems with lots of different counter measures and emitter that makes one Landser look like MS regiment.
200 are ready by CE80´s, 25 In royal MS guard and rest deployed in rapid reaction regiments across kingdom. Landser is easy to maintain but expensive and hard to operate. Only best of kingdom were qualified as pilots. One third of them were actually old mercenaries and hardened veterans.

A powerful prototype mobile suit developed based on SNRI's Formula Project. It has extremely high maneuverability and offensive strength.
A total of four AGX-191 units were built, each with a slightly different Combat AI. It is most closely based on the Gundam F91, and is armed with two VSBRs. It also equips an additional two beam guns and a torso-mounted battleship-grade megaparticle cannon.
In addition to this, it is equipped with a pair of Blade Funnels, remote weapons based on the Fin Funnels of the RX-93, which mount a beam blade and two beam guns each. To control this, Units One and Two are fitted with a Psycommu System for Newtype pilots, while an Oldtype-use quasi-psycommu is installed in Units Three and Four.
The machine's handheld armament consists simply of two beam sabers and a beam pistol, stored on its hips. It can also equip a long-range beam launcher or a beam rifle.
A grand total of four Units were built and fielded before the X191 Development project was cancelled, and currently remain in service. Except for Unit 04, which remained in its original rollout colors, the Gundam X191s were all custom-colored to fit their pilot's personal colors.
PICS:
Unit 01: Gundam X191-1
Unit 02: Gundam X191-2
Unit 03: Gundam X191-3
Unit 04: Gundam X191-4
