NAZG-X156 Eternity Gundam

The NAZG-X156 Enternity Gundam (aka Eternity Gundam, Eternity) is a gundam unit that was designed for mid-range combat, it was given to Yuri Roma, a solider of the Equatorial Union alongside of Lars Suzuki, Hazama Suzuki, and the rest of the squad.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
This mobile suit's combat perference is inspired by the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice gundams, which are Long range and close range, respectively, but rather with a mid-range setting for its mode of combat. This will allow the Eterinity to use both long and close-ranged weapons at the same time to attack in a different range setting depending on the frame used.

The suit still uses the Normal Frame in battle but uses the Strike packs as an add-on, which means it is still able to overpower an enemy as well as de-attach the packs when needed without worry of being defenseless.

The Eternity uses three different modes, the Normal Frame for mid-ranged combat, Blitz for short-range, and Hail for long-range. The lightest of the three is the Blitz Striker Pack, while the Hail Striker Pack is the heaviest; the normal frame, however, is a balance between the two. Carrying on from its predecessor, it consists of new weaponry along with upgrades to existing weaponry.

The Newest upgrade of the NA-1 Alpha Pulse Thruster Along with the Omega Force Armor which gives it pretty good speed and power for this reason the Union given this gundam to Yuri Roma, for good will to end the war between ZAFT and Earth Forces and win Freedom for the Middle East.

System Features

 * Enhanced Omega Force Armor
 * This gundam has a new armor than the others, an non-magnetic armor, made to withstand great amounts of damage, also the effects of the armor itself when a beam hits it, the area where it was hit glows red, if not attacked in that area for at least four mins it will cool down and return to normal. With this said this armor isn't perfect, the armor can still take damage aside from weapons with heat like beams or blasts which means metal blades are still able to hit the armor like normal, this weapon was effective facing an enemy that had the power to use high powered magnets to tear it's enemies apart.


 * Enhanced Sensor Unit
 * Like on the Gundam, Arch-Angel the Eternity is also equipped with an Enhanced Sensor Unit mounted back of the Gundam. This sensor is a combination of radar, sonar, heat signature tracing and zero area tracking.


 * Operating System
 * The Eternity Gundam uses the Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module complex operating system. This system assists in keeping the Omega Force System and Alpha Pulse Thrsuters in check alongside regular mobile suit operating.


 * NA-1 Alpha Pulse Thruster
 * The Eternity uses the same high speed thrusters commonly seen on most high speed ships. The NA-1 Alpha Pulse thruster is one of Iran's latest development in mobile suit propulsion. Compared to traditional thrusters, the alpha pulse model offers much greater top speed and acceleration, granting the unit additional mobility along the process, to the point machine flies seven times faster than other machines. However they never tested this thruster safely on a Gundam, only between ZAFT ZAKU's or other mobile suits that were shared by the Earth Forces at the time of peace.


 * This thruster has shown, it can not only move very fast, but sometimes has been shown to leave afterimages, perhaps due to the Omega Force System however is still it's unknown if they are controlled by the user of the suit or just made from how fast the suit was moving from the thrusters.
