Mobile Suit Falken

by Navek

AU. The Bloody Valentine War has been waging for a year with seemingly no end in sight. In the latest battle, new bonds are made. Rivalries are forged. And two mobile suits begin their battle. The White Knight and the Black Falcon take charge alongside the Archangel, ready to end this war at any cost.

Author's Note 1: As the saying goes; "Once more into the fray!" But before I start the revision of my Gundam Seed Story, he's all the info on the machines already in play at the start of the story with any new mechs given info segments at the ends of their introductory chapters.

CAT-04 Adler

Unit Type: Mass Production Aerial Mobile Armor

Model #: CAT-04

Codename: Adler

Manufacturer: Eurasian Federation SRI (Strategic Research Institute)

Operator(s): Eurasian Federation Air and Space Forces

First Deployment: May, C.E. 70

Height: 20.1 meters

Weight: 32.9 tons

Accommodation: Pilot only, in panoramic cockpit in torso

Optional Armaments: "Joker" Assault Blade (Commander Type), RFW-99 "Zastava Stigmate" Beam Submachine Gun (Later Refit)

Technical and Historical Info:

When tensions started breaking down between the Atlantic Federation and the PLANTs, the Eurasian Parliament figured they would need a way to defend themselves. When the ZGMF-1017 GINN was deployed during the Mandlebrot Blockade, the Parliament commissioned the SRI to build a countermeasure. Using the popular AF-25 Falcon as a base, genius weaponeer Lukas Amador and his 'Madman' research team developed the Adler mobile armor. Thanks to the revolutionary Tesla Drive, the Adler was capable of something no mobile suit was capable of yet- sustained flight. Even when ZAFT rolled out the Guul Subflight system and the DINN, the Adlers still had the advantage thanks to their aerodynamic design. And with some modifications, the Adlers could also be deployed in Space. And since this was a mobile armor, it could be piloted by Naturals at the same efficiency as Coordinators.

After testing the Adlers with a surprise attack on a ZAFT base (which resulted with six GINNs destroyed and no causalities), the Eurasian Military commissioned the mass-production of the Adlers since they were cheeper to build than a mobile suit. The Adler proved to be a success and was used in nearly every battle Eurasia participated in during the Bloody Valentine War and the Junius Seven War. The SRI also developed variants for land, air and space and used it as the base for future mobile weapons.

Cavill-Class

Unit type: Space Carrier

Ships of the Line: Cavill, Joan of Ark, Thor

Manufacturer: Eurasian SRI

Operator(s): Eurasian Federation Space Forces

First Deployment: C.E. 70

Length: 430 meters

Width: 220 meters

Height: Unknown

Equipment and Design Features: Laminated Armor; Sensors, range unknown; Beam Chaff Curtain launchers

Armaments: 5x Beam Cannons, 6x Large Automatic Anti-Ship Missile Launchers, Many x CIWS, Many x Small Anti-MS missile launchers

Mobile Weapons: 74

Technical & Historical Notes:

The Cavill-class vessels were designed to carry a large amount of mobile armors and other Eurasian spacecraft. The Cavill's construction began at the EFSF Asgard Lunar Base in C.E. 67. The first two carriers Cavill and Joan of Arc were commissioned in April and June C.E. 69 before the Bloody Valentine War. Built by the SRI, the Cavill was built with a new defensive technology known as a BCC or Beam Chaff Curtain. The BCC is a screen of beam particles that are fired from the launchers and can block missiles, railguns, beam weapons and even damage any mobile suits foolish enough to cross the screen. This defensive tech would become a staple of Eurasian ship tech.

As a carrier vessel, the Cavill can hold various ships and mobile weapons. In addition to over seven squadrons of mobile armors, these carriers were armed with many weapons such as beam cannons, Anti-MS CIWS and Missile Launchers as well as large Anti-Ship Warheads. The Cavill possessed many large vernier thruster nozzles all over the ship. These various thrusters granted the carrier excellent maneuverability and proved to be very useful for combat engagement and evasion.
