RGM-96X/JSB SWAT Jesta

The RGM-96X/JSB SWAT Jesta (aka SWAT Jesta) is a mobile suit and variant of the RGM-96X Jesta.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The SWAT Jesta is a customised variant of the Universal Century mobile suit, built and piloted by Jonathan Stratford. The model is customised for ranged combat while maintaining high agility, using inspiration from other series to help improve overall performance. The SWAT Jesta focuses on weapons versatility and electronic warfare in combat, placing less emphasis on close combat. While the main model is a Jesta it is equipped with parts from the Cherudim Gundam and the RGE-G1500 Adele Mk-II. It also sports a unique paintscheme to make it difficult to pick out in urban and dark areas

Armaments

 * 60mm Vulcan Gun Pod


 * 3-Slot Hand Grenade Rack
 * Unlike the original Jesta, the SWAT Jesta carries six smoke grenades which envelop the area in a thick white smoke to reduce visibility.


 * Beam Rifle
 * The original beam rifle used by the Jesta, it maintains the stock, fore-grip, suppressor, folding front and back post iron sights, and picatinny-like railings at 3 and 9'o'clock.


 * Beam Saber
 * Two beam sabres are stored on the suit's forearms.


 * Long Beam Rifle
 * A weapon adapted from Cherudim's sniper rifle, the long beam rifle has less range than a sniper rifle but can deliver a higher rate of fire. When it's not needed the weapon is kept in the suit's left shield.


 * Shield
 * The SWAT Jesata carries two shields on two moveable arms attached to the backpack. This places each shield on either side of the mobile suit. Both shields are fitted with different weapons.


 * 2-Tube Missile Launcher
 * The left shield is fitted with two 2-tube missile launchers. It's also used to store the long beam rifle.


 * Beam Gun
 * The right shield is fitted with two beam guns.

System Features

 * Dash Unit
 * The SWAT Jesta's feet have been modified to hold rollers from the Adele Mk-II, allowing the suit to achieve higher speeds on land.


 * Holoscreen
 * Originally from Cherudim, the holoscreen boosts the suit's accuracy and targeting performance. When deployed it projects a holographic screen over the Jesta's visor.
