Meaningless War UC0091

While I browsing thru the web, stumble upon some cool Mobile Suit design. The series took place in UC0091 The Meaningless War. It was a first time that I actually know there was MS design in this timeline...slow poke me...acccording to the timeline , these design are prior to Char's Counter Attack or CCA and most probably took place in the Sentinel Gundam era.

Most design are closely based on Zeta Gundam design.I find the design are exceptionally nice and it would be best I share it here for those who has the same interest. Secondly, as a reference for my future builds ...well who knows...

Description

"The ZIII Gundam is a new special purpose MS design by Anaheim Electronics based on the design of the ZZ Gundam, ZII and S Gundam. The design was completed quite a while ago but never used because general purpose mobile suits were more popular after the S Gundam generation.

After 0092, the EFF had to prepare for war with Neo-Zeon and began the development of the Nu Gundam for use by Captain Amuro Rey. The ZIII served as a design that led to the development of the Nu Gundam. The unusual characteristics of the Zeta system as a TMS are applied to the ZIII.

When the development project was restarted, Anaheim Electronics did not use the basic frame structure of the first design, but instead a original style created by a new design chief. No expense was spared in its development: bio-sensors, generator, thrusters, armor, all are top of the line. Overall the specs are very high compared to other MS of the era. Much of the design and technology cultivated in the S-Gundam is adopted into the ZIII’s options and parts.

Of noteworthy mention is the equipping of the "I-Shield." The I-Shield spreads Minovsky particles packed together along the armor surface, which can deflect beam weaponry. Minovsky particles have mass, when a beam hits the body, the spread particles repulse the beam back to it’s incoming direction. In this way it acts as a sort of "Reactive Armor". The shield forms instantaneously at the time it is needed but requires enormous amounts of electrical energy. The ZIII also has 2 I-Field generator units mounted on the shoulders with a dedicated sub-generator to power them.

NOTE: "Zeissa" seems to be a Japanese pronunciation of a shortening of "Zeta Third."

Description

The Gundam Mk. IV "Siren" is based on two different mobile suit designs, the RX-272 Gundam Mk. III and the PMX-000 Messala. The TMS design was intended to rival the Gundam Mk. V, but the design was too new to ever see combat with the Mk. V. After the initial design, it was found that they couldn’t design a small enough generator.

After the Gryps Conflict the AEUG recovered the second and third suits and moved them to Granada. It is unknown what happed to the first suit, a rumor states that it saw combat in 0091. The second suit was rebuilt using newer parts and technology as a commander’s MS. For armament they improved upon the concept of the Fedayin rifle and called it the Cavalier rifle. Two beam cannons carried on the backpack with direct connections to generator units have a short range but exceed the power of a beam smart gun. Mounted on the shoulders is a pair of Hyper Beam Sabers/Beam Cannons with specs equal to those on the ZZ Gundam. As of 0091, the performance of the finished Siren is highest for a TMS of the time.
