Response to mega float guest (guest): There is a slight problem with that, I hadn't watch the entire RvB series, the only episodes I watched was maybe half of the first season and that one episode where Tex kicked the Reds asses. Aside from that, I can't do it, sorry.

Notes: (For those who don't know about Gundam SEED side stories)

-Astray Project: In the Gundam SEED verse, it is ORBs version of the Earth Alliance G Project, instead of Phase Shift Armor; they made the suits lighter and agile than the Earth Alliance Gundams. However, the project was scrapped after Z.A.F.T. attacked the colony Heliopolis, which so happens to house both the Earth Alliance Gundam and Astray Gundams. After that, ORB decided to destroy the Astray units, but it failed and all 5 units fell into the hands of different factions.

-Astray Project: In the RWBY verse, Mistral wanted to create 5 mobile suits that would be able to use equipment that is usually banned, (Biological Grimm related, Genocidal.) meaning they wanted to be the most powerful kingdom. However, during testing phase, White Fang forces encountered the project and decided to leak the project to the public, which caused doubts to the Mistral government. Fearing the project to become public, officials ordered the destruction of the suits and the termination of the project. This would fail like in the Gundam SEED verse, but with a twist, the White Fang couldn't obtain a Astray unit, but they were able to collect most of the data and collect parts for a Astray unit (Not unit 5, it will be appearing later).

If you have any questions about the mobile suits or anything related to this AU, feel free to ask, I will try to answer them.

I do not own RWBY, but I do own the custom suit designs.

ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam "Clockwork"

Appearance

-Base Form: Based on the Providence Gundam, the dual eyes glow green and is covered by a black tinted visor. The chest mounts 2 Dust beam cannons on the upper torso and a Multi-Phase Dust beam cannon on the lower torso. The shoulder plates were replaced with Dust beam cannons on top, small "Mirror" Dust shields on the sides, and boosters on the back. The right arm mounts a Dust scatter cannon on the palm and a 2-tube missile launcher on the side of the arm. The left arm mounts a custom composite shield and a Gravity Dust generator on the palm. The side waists mount "Xiphas" Railguns along with the small DRAGOON Pods while the back waist mounts a handheld hyper Dust beam cannon. The legs mount "Griffin" Dust beam blades on the front and Dust beam sub-machine gun located on the sides. The backpack was replaced with a small mechanical backpack that stores her main weapon. Color is green with orange outlines.

Armaments

-Assault Swords: A mobile suit sized version of Penny's main weapon, they are gray-colored blades, with a luminous green power symbol at the center of the bronze-colored hilt, and a green line running parallel to one side, and they can fold into a more compact gun-like shape. They fire green-like beams and they can also form a circle to fire a large beam that has smaller beams splitting off. The blades are connected by a thin, but durable cable, giving Penny the ability to quickly relocate blades. The exact number of blades is unknown, but current records say there is a total of 14 blades. Penny can also use these swords to convert her backpack into a jetpack.

-76mm CIWS: Mounted on the sides of the head and on the shoulders, they are used to destroy lightly armored targets.

-Dust Beam Cannons: 2 are mounted on the upper torso and on top of the shoulders, they are strong enough to destroy areas with a single shot, but energy costs can be high and may lead to the suit shutting down.

-MGX-2235 "Calidus" Multi-Phase Dust Beam Cannon: Mounted on the lower torso, it uses several Dust mixtures to fire a beam that is powerful enough to vaporize almost anything, but overuse can overheat the cannon and melt the cannon itself.

-Dust Scatter Cannon: Mounted on the right palm, it uses a mixture of Fire and Electric Dust to deliver a shotgun like blast against a target. However, the range for this weapon is up close, meaning that if the pilot grabs the target, it is guarantee destruction. There have be some instance where a pilot may temporarily alter the Dust inside the weapon to fire a beam that can destroy targets from a long distance.

-2-Tube Missile Launcher: Mounted on the side of the right arm, Penny uses missiles that are loaded with smoke rounds that help conceal her unit and make the enemy blind without thermal vision. However, there are some instances where the missiles would explode while being held as there is no open cover for the launcher.

-MA-M221 "Judicium" Dust Beam Rifle: While larger than standard Dust beam weapons, it generates energy that is comparable to Dust beam cannons. Weapons is held like a bazooka and power source is unknown, possibly clip fed.

-MA-MV05A Composite Armed Shield System: Mounted on the left arm, it is a shield that has been given offensive capabilities. Weapons include a large Dust beam saber in the middle and 2 small Dust beam guns on the sides.

-MM1-M15 "Xiphas" Railgun: Mounted on the side waist, they fire solid rounds at high speeds by using Electric Dust to propel it. There are some instances target may become electrified due to some specs of Electric Dust being added onto the round.

-Small DRAGOON Pod: Mounted on the side waist and back waist, there are a total of 6 of them in total. They use Gravity Dust to allow free movement in the air and are armed with 2 Dust beam guns. The pods are controlled by the pilot via special remote control; however the complexity of this weapon only makes this weapon usable by pilots with high spatial awareness or being supported by an AI. There also been some instances where the pods can use its Dust beam guns to for a short sword for close range combat.

-Handheld Hyper Dust Beam Cannon: A handheld version for the Hyper Dust Cannon, it has the same destructive capabilities as its original version, but also comes with the same costs as well.

-MR-Q15A "Griffon" Dust Beam Blade: Mounted in front of the legs, they are mostly used to help enhance kick attacks, but skilled pilots can use the blades to deflect incoming projectiles or throw beam boomerangs at enemies.

-RFW-99 "Zastava Stigmate" Dust Beam Sub-machine Gun: Located inside the legs, this weapon fires shots weaker than a standard Dust beam rifle, but it makes it up for higher rate of fire. As of right now, the gun is fed by clips rather than a power source, meaning the pilot has to reload it. It also includes a heat knife on the underbarrel, allowing CQC, but the knife can be ejected to hit a target if needed.

-METEOR Unit: (Basic unit design is same as the METEOR units in Gundam SEED, but Penny's unit has 4 large DRAGOON pods on sides of the engine, 2 on each side, and smaller pods inside the unit, about 12 of them.) Developed by Atlas, this unit would allow a mobile suit to have the firepower equivalent to a warship, making a very deadly weapon. Currently right now, about 6 of them are accounted for, but there been instances where some units are not accounted for, like Penny's unit. The current power source is an ultra-compact internal battery unit, but it was designed to draw power from the suit itself, so unless the suit is equipped with a suitable power source, using this weapon is a no go.

-120cm High-Energy Dust Beam Cannon: Mounted on the tip of the moveable arm units, the caliber is warship class, making it one of the most destructive weapons usable by MS.

-93.7cm High-Energy Dust Beam Cannon: Mounted on the sides of the unit, they are much weaker than the 120, but they exchange it for high rate of fire.

-MA-X200 Beam Sword: Mounted on the moveable arm units, they are generated jointly by the emitters above and below the 120cm high-energy Dust beam cannon. They can generate a long sword that can easily cut through warships and MS alike.

-60cm "Erinaceus" Anti-Ship Missile Launcher: About 77 missiles are on the unit with 22 mounted on each pod on the side of the unit, 12 mounted at the back of each arm unit, and the last 9 are mounted on the tail fin. As the name suggests, it can destroy warships, but the pilot can fire all 77 missiles at once to destroy multiple targets.

-Large DRAGOON Pod: 2 are mounted on each side of the engine, these pods sports 9 Dust beam guns that can switch from regular firing mode to rapid fire mode, which replaces firepower with a high rate of fire.

-Small DRAGOON Pod: 12 are located inside the unit, they act similar to the DRAGOONs on the suit, but these pods can also switch to rapid fire mode.

Special Equipment and Features

-"Aura" Phase Shift Armor: A special energy field that connects to the pilots Aura if they had unlocked, it works the same a regular hunter's Aura, it allows the MS to shrug off a few fatal hits, but Aura depletion is doubled since the Aura has to generate a bigger field.

-Gravity Dust Generator: Located in the backpack, this allows the suit to "float" or stay in the sky for a certain amount of time, this allows the suit to fight in the sky without the fear of falling, but the Dust supply in the generator is limited, operational time is about 45 minutes. There is also one on the left palm and is mostly used to stop incoming projectiles.

-Neutron Dust Reactor: The main power source for the suit, it generates "unlimited" power for the suit, granting the ability to operate with no need for recharging. However, there are risks to using this reactor; negative effects include getting an incurable disease if using the reactor for long periods of time and possibly spreading it along with the fact if the reactor is critically hit, the reactor may detonate and cause a devastating and large expolsion. Only a few mobile suits were equipped with these dangerous reactors.

-Targeting System: A system that assists the pilot in targeting any type of target, but some units have features that the system can't track.

History

The unit was created after the Science Division of Atlas analyzed the combat data from their Decimator Battle Outfit for the Raysta Type Junk Fighter. The military finished the product, but it had a major flaw, despite all of these weapons, the actual reactor output won't suffice, so the Science Division tried their experimental Neutron Dust reactor, which proved to be successful, but at a terrible cost. There were about 9 units finished, but 5 of them were destroy by Neutron Dust reactor failure and resulted in a desert wasteland near the city and the area is covered in poisoning now known as a Neutron poisoning. The remaining 4 units were split and sent off to each kingdom as a gift from Atlas. Penny was the chosen pilot to operate Atlas's Providence. This unit was first seen in combat when she and Ruby Rose arrived at the Vale docks to stop Roman Torchwick and the White Fang from stealing Dust. The unit was able to defeat 2 squads of White Fang BuCUE's and destroy heavily armored Bullheads. The unit was never seen again after the dock incident, but it may be possible that Penny had to return to Atlas for repairs, rearmament, and possible upgrades.

I think I made Penny a bit too powerful…

Notes:

-(Original Creation) Neutron Dust: Founded in a Dust mine in Vacuo, this Dust crystal is pale white in color and when it is used to power machines, it grants "unlimited" power, making it a very useful source of energy, but also a potential weapon. Atlas at first tried to create a weapon using Neutron Dust, but that blew up in their faces, for real, they lost a good portion of their military and scientific staff after a failed experiment. To prevent this again, all four kingdoms would cease the weaponization of Neutron Dust and focus on making this Dust a reliable power source, but that would be risky too as it can lead to the Neutron Effect.

-(Original Creation) Neutron Effect: A disease that is caught by having the Neutron Dust being used as the power source. It is mostly effects anyone in a close proximity to the source and cannot spread when a person is infected with the disease. There are 3 stages to this, first stage includes unknown fatigue, ragged breathing, sudden lose in Aura, and possible blackouts. The second stage includes, your own Semblance not sometimes working or being used againist you, possible small deformities on the body, heighted reflexes and senses, short terms of depression, and small hints of insanity. The final stage includes deformities on the body, traces of loss in morality, enhanced strength, and insanity. Currently this disease is incurable as of right now, but there are ways to slow it down and the treatments include getting doses of Aura from other people, taking supplements from the Atlas Medical Division, or wearing a special suit that was design by the Atlas Science Division that uses the Neutron Effect in a positive way, but still retains its negative effects.

As you can see, I added MSV or Mobile Suit Variations and AU units. MSV units are unknown variants of units seen this Fic, but never made it to the plotline, think of them as side story suits. As for AU units, this is my way to connect to you readers, if you want a character in a certain suit, you can now request it, but here's the twist, you have to add a change in a certain scenario like what if Ruby didn't skip ahead to go to Beacon, what if she actually stayed at Signal? Also, you have to be specific on what type of suit it will be, like will it be a close range or long range unit, custom weapons are fine too, just give me the design.

If you want to request a character in a suit, PM me or leave it in the reviews, but remember, be specific on the suit and what is going to change in the actual RWBY storyline. (EX. Ruby not skipping ahead to Beacon, so she would get a Custom CQC CGUE)

If you have any questions about the mobile suits or anything related to this AU, feel free to ask, I will try to answer them.

Don't forget to cast your vote on which era should the next RTF MS dossier by going to my profile and find the voting option. (Seriously though, go to my profile to vote.)

Remember writers, if you are looking a story to write, look at my profile page for a challenge and PM me for information.

Also, we are heading to Volume 2, all AU units must be linked to scenarios up to Volume 1 as of right now.
