Chariot-class

The Chariot is the main tactical warship of Mobile Suit Gundam: White.

Technological & Combat Capabilities
The Chariot multi-purpose Mobile Suit carrier. It was a scrapped blueprint of a warship found by Blood and his crewmates before the events of MSG: White.

The hull of the warship is long and slender allowing it to have a lot of mobility and becoming a difficult target. Most of the hull is the Mobile Suit launch catapult and also the hangar.Chariot's Mobile Suit hangar can hold up to 8 mobile suits and 2 aircrafts. It is capable of of withstanding non-beam weapons and most explosives. In terms of beam weapons, it can withstand a limited number of shots, depending on how strong the beams are.

To take flight, the Chariot has 4 "leg" thrusters. Two of them are at the front of the ship while the others are at the back. These thrusters can rotate 360 degree angles to face the direction the ship is needed to fly. They, however, are not strong enough to break through the atmosphere and the ship uses boosters.

For combat, its main guns are at the front side of the ship, in front of the thrusters. They can rotate in any direction except backwards. The "Battleship" guns are located on top of the hull. It was named after the 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 guns on 20th century battleships. Anti-mobile suit and anti-mobile suit CIWS guns are located everywhere on the ship. Lastly, the anti-ship missles are stored on the backsides of the Chariot.

This ship can fight anywhere.

This ship's blueprints were scrapped before the early stages of the war. About 20 years later, it was found in the remains of the Emeraldus colony by Blood and his future crewmates.

In 2165, it was completed and is used as a tactical warship. Because of its bright, yellow color, it was named Chariot after Greek mythology's Apollo and his Sun Chariot.
