GN-009L Seraph Local Type

The GN-009L Seraph Local Type is a prototype amphibious unit. It was tested by Emilia Rush and some units were sent to Sengoku Squad.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
After Sonia Jameson's GN-009 Bishop plan gains the backing of Freya Schwartz, a separate team was appointed for environmental performance and durability testing of the Seraph on Earth. It was constructed mainly with surplus parts for the GN-009MP Seraph. Originally it had an all-gold color-scheme and a space use backpack equipped with a shoulder cannon. Later, it would be known as the GN-009L Seraph Local Type, gaining a white color scheme and being equipped with special equipment for all-terrain testing The unit used by Sengoku Squad was painted with a black color scheme.

Armaments

 * Gatling Gun
 * Mounted in the arm, these shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but have little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. The weapons are ideal for shooting down small, fast moving, lightly armored targets.


 * Beam Saber
 * The sabers are stored on the backpack, and can transform from saber to the "Seraph Javelin," a large pole with a three pronged beam at the end. The beam sabers use Minovsky particles held in place by an I-Field to form an effective cutting surface that can slice through nearly any material. One can be used as a reserve weapon, or both can be used simultaneously in a twin sword fashion.


 * Beam Rifle
 * This beam rifle has firepower equivalent to that of a battleship's beam cannons. As the GN particles destroy matter on a molecular scale, the beam rifle can penetrate even the thickest armor and destroy its target with a single shot. One weak point of the rifle was its energy limits. When not in use, the beam rifle could be stored on the right hip.
