ESP-010AD/F2 Advanced Valiant SES Type

The ESP-010AD/F2 Advanced Valiant SES Type (Severe Environment Survival) (aka Advanced Valiant SES Type, Advanced Valiant F2, F2 Valiant) is a hazardous environment mobile suit designed to survive in areas normally too dangerous for other mobile suits.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The SES Valiant was built shortly after pilots exposed to high radiation areas in space and on Earth started to develop health problems as the shielding was not sufficient to protect them. In some cases in space the radiation also interfered with sensors and control systems. The F2 Valiant is fitted with a series of electromagnetic and radiation protection systems around the cockpit and electronics of the mobile suit, blocking the pilot from harmful exposure.

Armaments

 * ENX/02 "Raigo" 60mm Vulcan


 * ENX/05 "Hyperion" 90mm Gatling Gun


 * RSX/05P "Trailblazer" Plasma Beam Sword


 * RSX/07D "Counterstrike" Double Plasma Beam Sword

System Features

 * Modular Armour Systems
 * The Advanced Valiant can be equipped with various different forms of armour for testing purposes. In order to accommodate the switches the suit's systems are programmed with a variety of settings for using different armour.


 * Modular Weapon Driver
 * The suit is capable of using various armaments in combat which are not normally part of its standard armaments, however the machine can compensate and adjust the suit to produce the maximum output from a weapon.


 * Suit Hazard Protection (SHP) System
 * In order to protect the pilot and mobile suit systems the SES type is fitted with a series of safeguards, these include EM protection for the suit's electronics systems and shielding around the cockpit to protect the pilot from high radiation and temperature. The pilot suit is also modified to interface with the cockpit so that the pilot's vitals are constantly monitored, if the pilot becomes unable to control the machine the SHP can override the mobile suit and evacuate to safety.

Concept Design
Originally the F2 Valiant was designed as an ECCM type mobile suit, able to still function in severe magnetic disturbances. This concept was then redesigned into the SES type when pilots assigned to certain areas started to develop health issues due to radiation exposure. In response the Peacekeepers experimented with prototype model mobile suits, eventually developing safety systems that were fitted into the rest of the Peacekeeper's mobile suits. While the standard mobile suit design now incorporated improved radiation resistance, the F2 can still withstand considerably higher temperatures and radiation levels.

Usage
By S.E. 75 the F2 Type is still in use, assigned to patrolling areas of space with high radiation risks.
