MSA-003 Nemo The AEUG commissioned Anaheim Electronics to develop a mass production unit for their mobile forces. The group had been converting GM units into GM II before acquiring newly-built GM II units from the Earth Federation. However, the AEUG leadership recognised that the group needed its own supply of mass-produced mobile suits to ensure its prowess in the battlefield. The Nemo uses many weapons already employed by other existing mobile suits to keep development costs down. The Nemo was a successful model and featured heavily in the front lines during the Gryps Conflict. However, this led to the decimation of most Nemo units. With the production struggling to catch up with demand, the Nemo units were assigned to more experienced and proven pilots.

All Credit for the Creation and Submission of the ZGMF-701X TAURUS Should be Given to T569ssgoku. General and Technical Data Model number: ZGMF-701X Code name: Prototype TAURUS / TAURUS Advanced Unit type: Transformable Mobile Suit Manufacturer: Asimov Design Bureau Operator: ZAFT First deployment: C.E. 85 Capacity: 1, in cockpit standard Height: Head Height 16.8 meters Weight: empty, 48 metric tons Construction: Titanium alloy Power plant: Ultra Compact Battery, power output unknown Equipment and design features: Sensors, Range unknown Fixed armaments: 2x “Lacerta” beam saber, stored in hips, hand carried in use, MA-BAR76F high energy beam rifle, mounted on back in flight mode, hand carried in use Optional hand armaments: none Technical and Historical Notes The loss of the contract of the “New Millennium” mobile suit line in CE 71-72 was a large setback to the designer and producer of the ZMGF-1017 GINN and the ZMGF-601 GuAIZ, Asimov Design Bureau. As the ZAKU Series begins to show age in CE 85 Asimov Design Bureau released plans for the “Next Millennium” mobile suits. ADB worked on surpassing the aging ZAKU in every way, from performance, to flexibility, and cost. ADB recognized that the ZAKU Warrior and the ZAKU Phantom were superior to Earth Alliance mobile suits in space, but that ZAKUs were fairly useless inside the Earth’s gravity without lifter assistance. This was compensated for by production of the BABI and GOUF, but the BABI was restricted to earth’s atmosphere and the GOUF was largely expensive and could only be assigned to top teams and pilots. ADB also felt that the ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited restricted the pilot to conform to the machine’s style. The mobile suit most closely resembling what ADB wanted to create was the Orb Union’s Murasame. The design team set out with the following goals 1.) Create a mobile suit that is performancely superior to the ZAKU 2.) Create a mobile suit that is relatively in the same price range as the ZAKU 3.) Create a mobile suit that can be deployed in both the Earth’s atmosphere and effectively in outer space. After months of testing the developers created what they believed to be a mobile suit that enveloped all their goals. The result was the Zero Gravity Maneuver Fighter Tactical Automated Unilateral Response Unlimited System, or the ZGMF-701 TAURUS Mobile Suit. The Taurus features allow it to operate extremely well in space in both mobile armor and mobile suit modes, capable of performing high speed and angle dodges. The TAURUS is also capable of being piloted inside the Earth’s atmosphere, although it is only capable of full maneuvers in its mobile armor mode (it can hover and move in mobile suit mode, but not make the maneuvers it is capable of in space) although with simple modifications it can function at 90% maneuverability inside the Earth’s atmosphere. ADB estimates that a mobile suit crew should be able to complete the modifications within 90 minutes, although this is dependent on the skill of the support crew. This was the prototype version of the Taurus was produced in small run, and preformed well according to the guidelines set out by the design team. However, the prototype version was deemed too expensive for a mass production run. Some are rumored to exist. This version of the Taurus features a base white paint scheme. This mobile suit features weapon systems used on later generation GUNDAM mobile suits that were used in the Great War. Offensively, the Taurus mounts 2 Lacerta grade beam sabers, and a modified MA-BAR76F high energy rifle was taken from the Design of the ZGMF-X666 Legend Gundam. It is capable of mounting onto the Back of the Taurus for use in its mobile armor mode. The TAURUS features one “Solidus Fulgor” Beam shield generator, also used on the Legend. This advanced defensive system, combined with the Taurus’s already high grade maneuver system allows this machine to engage multiple targets with effective success. This system required a new high-efficient and duration battery to be installed in the TAURUS for combat use. Seeing the production costs of the ZGMF-701 Taurus would at best limit it in peacetime to fill the limited ace-only role of the old ZAFT CGUE, ADB redesigned the Taurus for a mass production run. ADB renumbered the prototype version the ZGMF-701X and preceded to redesign the Taurus to give it similar firepower and maneuverability with reduced cost. A few of the 701X units have been assigned, but their small numbers restrict them only to the most elite pilots.

ADB renumbered the prototype version the ZGMF-701X and preceded to redesign the Taurus to give it similar firepower and maneuverability with reduced cost. The final product featured two, shoulder mounted beam sabers, and a redesigned beam rifle at a lower power output. ADB also featured the option replacing the beam rifle with a high power Beam Cannon on par with the Gunner ZAKU Warrior’s cannon when the situation warrants its use. Each weapon has its own energy source (for about 24 shots on the cannon, about 60 for the rifle, each can be replaced) but can be fired using the mobile suit’s battery, although this significantly reduces its operating time. ADB designed the Taurus to be compatible with its shield armed-composite systems used on the Providence Gundam to increase the mobile suit’s firepower in both mobile suit and mobile armor mode. However, production restraints have caused most Taurus units coming off the production line to feature the GuAIZ’s MA-MV05 Composite Shield as a stopgap while more MA-MV05A Composite Armed Shield system are built.

General and Technical Data Model number: ZGMF-1017 Code name: GINN Unit type: Mass Production General Purpose Mobile Suit Manufacturer: Asimov Design Bureau Operator: ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty), Civilians First deployment: 3 November, C.E. 69 Capacity: Pilot only, in standard cockpit in torso Height: 21.43 Meters Weight: Max gross weight 78.5 metric tons Construction: Unknown Power plant: Ultracompact energy battery, power output rating unknown Equipment and design features: Sensors, range unknown Fixed armaments: MA-M3 heavy sword, stored on waist, hand-carried in use; MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machine gun, stored on rear waist, hand-carried in use Optional hand armaments: 2 x M66 "Canus" short range guided missile launcher, two missiles per launcher; M69 "Barrus" heavy ion cannon, 1 x M68 "Cattus" 500mm recoilless rifle Technical and Historical Notes The first combat mobile suit developed by ZAFT, and the backbone of its military forces. The fighting strength of the GINN is equivalent to that of five Earth Alliance mobile armors, and can singlehandedy destroy an Alliance escort ship. Although the GINN is classified as a Zero Gravity Maneuver Fighter, it can operate on Earth as well, and this versatile machine can be adapted to a wide range of mission roles and combat environments. Its standard armament consists of a machine gun and a blade for slicing apart enemy mobile armors, but the GINN can also be outfitted with a variety of heavy weapons and guided missiles. I am aware that I haven't yet attended the Pilot Academy, but I want to get this suit approved so I can use it right away.
