GN-009C Seraph Cannon

The GN-009C Seraph Cannon is a prototype KME Solutions artillery mobile suit.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
When KME Forces finally began mass-producing the GN-009MP Seraph in the beginning of the Battle of Eden, it was decided that a mid-range fire support unit is needed to aid the Seraph units. Rather than waste time designing a new mobile suit from scratch, and then straining their resources on new production lines to build this new unit, the Federation Forces simply decided to produce a variant of the standard Seraph to fill the void.

KME's initial attempt was the GN-009C Seraph Cannon. The Seraph Cannon was little more than a Seraph Ground Type with a Seraph Light Armour's head and a 240mm shoulder-mounted cannons. However there was a critical flaw in this design - the cannon was too heavy for the light frame of the Seraph, and the suit suffered from severe recoil and balance issues when the cannons were fired.

Armaments

 * Vulcan Guns
 * Primarily for the elimination of aerial and light armor targets. With sustained fire, the stream of bullets can cause damage to enemy mobile suits.


 * 240mm Cannon
 * Seraph Cannon.jpg 240mm cannon are mounted over the shoulder of the MS. The mid-range fire support artillery cannon is fed by a twenty (20) round internal magazine located inside the main body of the Seraph Cannon. Each shell has a 95 kilogram HE fragmentation warhead, with a casualty radius of 40 meters. Can fire to distances up to 10.7 kilometers.
 * Beam Spray Gun
 * The Beam Spray Gun was essentially the GN-X's beam rifle in a smaller weaker form. The beam spray gun has a smaller focusing coil which results in a less powerful, and a more scattered shot. As a result of this the beam spray gun is less effective at long range, but is better at close range due to a more spread out shot, similar to a shotgun. While the beam spray gun is less powerful than a beam rifle, it has been shown to be able to penetrate the armour of a Gadelaza - one of the most heavily armored mobile armours of the Old Human Faction.
