EGM-129/RS Crossfire Gennai

​ The EGM-129/RS Crossfire Gennai (aka Crossfire Gennai, Crossfire) is a limited production machine piloted by Ian Starling.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Crossfire is a heavily modified Gennai design and unlike other variants, is built entirely from scratch instead of using a pre-existing frame and is designed to fulfil a variety of assault purposes. A key feature is the addition of two movable binders on the back, which carry large detachable HIPaR swords as well as built-in SR beam cannons. This allows the Crossfire to serve various combat roles simultaneously, but is predominantly built for frontline assault and breaking down enemy defensive lines. The binders also shift to alter the centre of gravity to improve agility when in motion, as well as improving the response of the CMRC System, giving the Crossfire Gennai an unprecedented level of mobility. During long-distance atmospheric flight the binders can rotate to act as stabilisers, but render the suit's main weapons inaccessible. In order to reduce unit weight, the Crossfire forgoes several optional weapons and lacks the hardpoints to carry them.

The suit also carries a set of twin SR beam pistols on the waist, replacing HIPaR Daggers used by the model's predecessor. These weapons provide the pilot with lighter ranged weapons when the cannons are inaccessible or excessive. Each of the Crossfire's wrists contain an SR beam sabre, allowing the suit instant access to beam sabres. This storage design is later adapted in various other mobile suit designs.

Like its predecessors, the Crossfire has a lightweight frame and easily achieves high mobility both on foot and in flight, but has the added advantage of EMBR armour for increased structural integrity. This compound armour design drastically improves the durability of the suit in combat, but can only be issued to a small number of machines due to the time required to construct units with EMBR armour.

In addition the weapon binders, the Crossfire Gennais use a prototype Digital Intelligence to coordinate between squads of units. The Janus-type DI rapidly shares targeting data specifically between other Crossfire mobile suits so that they can work more effectively as a team.

System Features

 * Binder
 * Two binders are mounted on the Crossfire's back that each carry a large HIPaR sword and an SR beam cannon. Not only are the binders used to carry additional weapons, but also enhance the suit's balance and agility whine in motion.


 * Janus-type Digital Intelligence
 * The Janus DI is a prototype system designed to enhance combat potential between Crossfire mobile suits, allowing them to target enemy units with greater effectiveness. By sharing sensor data between allies, a single unit can acquire targets faster and open fire on enemies it cannot necessarily directly target.
