GNSS-TD-2 Guardian Gundam

== History==

The Guardian Gundam was the epitome of GN-Tech. Using the data from the Executus, and as well as data from the GNC-Ex, Star Strike developed a unit that surpassed all before it. It utilized the same GN-Drive setup as the Executus, but without all it’s predecessor’s weaknesses.

In the Executus, the multitude of drives made the suit look bulky and two drives were simply attached to the legs. The Guardian Gundam took advantage of the new miniaturized GN-Drives to retain a more streamlined and Gundam-like figure. Also, due to the bulk of the Executus, it became difficult to design armor or equipment to attach to the unit, making it stand alone in all it’s missions. Like it’s predecessor, it utilized a combination of Regenium B and C armor. But an enhancement to the frame that was previously unavailable to the Executus was capitalized in the new suit. The Regenium B would allow a steady flow of high density GN-Particles over the armor and frame. Due to the high output of the Guardian Gundam, this made it’s armor nearly impenetrable and nearly removed the need for GN-Field technology. Also, due to the easier to manage design of the Gundam, the unit was able to be equipped with a multitude of additional equipment. Equipment used by Guardian Gundam:

GN-Wing Bits: Drawing off the design of the GN-Claws, Star Strike constructed an entirely new advanced weapons system. The Wing Bits were similar to GN-Claws in that they were remote Melee/Ranged weapons, but unlike the GN-Claws, two could be combined to form Shield Bits, granting an additional line of defense and offense to the Guardian Gundam. The Guardian Gundam utilized 8 Wing Bits and when not in use they were docked in a fashion resembling angelic wings, giving the Guardian Gundam a psychological advantage.

GN-Sword 7: The GN-Sword 7 was the epitome of physical GN-Blades. It utilized the same materials used to create GN-Condensers to form the blade. This would allow GN-Particles to be lined along the blade in greater density and gave much improved cutting ability. As an added effect, the GN-Particles made the sword weigh the same as a beam saber, granting further agility to the blade. Like the swords before it, it contained a hidden high output beam rifle behind the blade. And like the swords before it, it was attached directly to the mobile suits arm and had a small shield built into the edge facing away from the suit.

Knee Cannons: Due to the more manageable design of the Gundam, a multitude of weapons could be concealed within the armor itself. When not in use, the cannons would function as simple knee joints, completely undetectable even to those with the schematics. When activated, the front part of the knee cap would suddenly flip outwards, revealing two hidden beam weapons that gave the Guardian Gundam a surprise attack in melee combat. The Knee Cannons could also switch into two hidden beam sabers, further enhancing the lethal capabilities of the Gundam.

Foot mounted Beam sabers: the name says it all, the beam sabers are stored within and attached to the feet of the unit. If the Guardian Gundam’s other melee weapons would either preoccupied or were removed entirely, the beam sabers would snap out and give a last second defense against enemy melee weapons or a sudden attack that would carve into the opposing unit itself.

Titan System: The Titan System was a last resort weapons system. Should the Guardian Gundam be severely outnumbered, or could not make it past a defense of some kind, the Titan System would be it’s trump card. The Titan system drew it’s roots from the Trial System used by Gundam Meister Tieria Erde, which was designed to forcibly shut down any unit connected to Veda. Star Strike took this system and redesigned it to work on an even grander scale. Instead of shutting down units to Veda, the Titan System would shut down all nearby units, regardless of technology or operating systems. The Titan System could be programmed to leave out other units from this effect, allowing nearby allies to destroy the opponents without a challenge. The only weakness of this system is that it required the mobile suit to remain stationary, leaving the user virtually defenseless against enemy units that somehow resisted the Titan System. This weakness proved little issue due to Guardian Gundam being able to hack into other systems and have them transmit the Titan System themselves, allowing an entire solar system to be shut down if necessary.

GN-Great Sword: The Great Sword was a highly versatile weapon of the Guardian Gundam. It resembled a simple long sword. The blade was made of the same material as condensers were and so had a high particle capacity. It also used high density particles to line the blade, highly increasing it’s cutting ability and allowing it to cut through GN-Fields. Like the other blades, it had a hidden beam rifle along the blade, allowing a rapid switch between sword and rifle. But unlike the other physical blades of the Gundams, it wasn’t attached to the Gundam directly. The sword was wielded in the same manner normal blades are used, allowing easier maneuvers for the pilot. Also, the sword could attach the Wing Bits to the blade and have them used to form either an extremely powerful beam saber or turn it into a powerful buster cannon.

Psycoframe: The Psycoframe allowed the pilot to control the entire suit and its weapons with their mind, granting the suit rapid reaction time. Unlike previous Psycoframe, Guardian Gundam powered it using GN-Particles, which were discovered to allow the transfer of thoughts through Quantum Brainwaves. Also, unlike previous uses, which had a cockpit built out of Psycoframe, it had Psycoframe installed throughout the body, weapons, and armor of the Gundam, drastically increasing it’s performance. The GN-Drives also allowed Star Strike to avoid the issue of mass, since the inertial dampensers used by the Perfect Guardian entirely removed any G-Forces against the Gundam. Normally the use of so much Psycoframe would prove hazardous due to the stress placed on the human body due to the mind feeling everything the suit felt, including G-Forces. The Guardian Gundam also required a Super Soldier or True Innovator to utilize this system.

Armor Bits: The Armor Bits, as the name suggests, were designed to resemble pieces of armor, in the case of the Guardian Gundam, the shoulder and knee pads. When needed, the bits would detach from the Gundam and become remote beam weapons. Since they can operate as armor as well, they can double as Shield Bits, but are unable to dock with each other due to design. Because of the overwhelming power and versatility of the Wing Bits, the Armor Bits rarely see combat use other than as armor.
