GN-009G Seraph Ground Type

The GN-009G Seraph Ground Type is a limited mass production mobile suit that was the beginning of the ground based off the GN-009MP series of mobile suits.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Though in many ways similar to its GN-009L predecessor, the GN-009G was quite a bit different in other ways, particularly in its armament. The beam sabers were stored in the legs, as the backpack mounted an equipment rack to carry weapon racks, parachute packs, or other field options. Although sporting a smaller generator than the GN-009L, the Ground Type Seraph still had the generator power to use a beam rifle, though it was often equipped with a standard beam rifle or a heavy 240mm cannon. Vulcan guns are mounted in the torso's left breast rounded out the new armament. In order to make use of space, grenade racks were placed on the sideskirt armor.

As the GN-009G was built out of spare parts from the GNT Development Plan, replacements parts were very limited. Luckily the GN-009MP Seraph shared 80% of the same parts as the Seraph Ground Type, making field repairs easier but sometimes resulted in a few customized mobile suits.

Armaments

 * 60mm Vulcan Gun
 * These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but have little power and can't damage the E-Carbon armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the joints.


 * 240mm Cannon
 * A pair of 240mm cannons are mounted over either shoulder of the Guncannon Heavy Arms type. The mid-range fire support artillery cannon is fed by a twenty (20) round internal magazine located inside the main body of the mobile suit. Each 240 x 800 millimeter shell has a 95 kilogram HE fragmentation warhead, with a casualty radius of 40 meters. Can fire to distances up to 2.5 kilometers. For RX-77-3 Guncannon Heavy Arms type, its shoulder cannons had been improved with reduced recoil during firing and better reloading mechanism which enhanced its artillery performance.


 * BAUVA*XBR-L Beam Rifle
 * The Guncannon Heavy Arms Type can be equipped with a larger and longer-range portable mega particle cannon than the RX-78 GUNDAM. It is powered via an internal energy capacitor with an average charge of fifteen (15) rounds. Each beam is capable of tearing through the medium and heavy armor of enemy MS and MA. Maximum effective range of 2.8 kilometers.


 * BOWA·BR-S-85-C2 Beam Rifle
 * The standard ranged armament of the many mobile suits is the beam rifle. The particle beam fired from a beam rifle can penetrate almost any armor that has not been treated with specific counter-measures. The beam rifle has a power rating of 1.9 MW and is powered by a rechargeable energy cap.


 * "Fire Nut" Grenades
 * The RX-77-3 is equipped with a set of Fire Nut grenades which are stored inside an open rack on its left waist armor. A compact, powerful bomb which can be hand-thrown by Federation's mobile suits, the Fire Nut can be thrown like regular grenades and set to detonate upon impact with the target. It is powerful enough to destroy an enemy's mobile suit.
