Technical
and Historical Notes |
Built on
the same basic design as its Apsalus
predecessor, Ginias Sahalin's Apsalus II featured a perfected
Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric
flight. It also incorporated an extremely powerful mega particle
cannon, capable of blasting through thick layers of rock. Once
again piloted by Ginias' sister Aina Sahalin, the Apsalus II
soon began test flights in Zeon's testing grounds in Southeast
Asia. When word of the test flights reached the Earth Federation
Forces, the EFF's 08th Mobile Suit Team was dispatched to investigate
and capture or disable the new mobile weapon. The 08th Team
soon found their quarry, and the Apsalus II was heavily damaged
during the battle and was forced to crash-land in the Himalaya
mountains on 9 November, UC 0079. Aina Sahalin survived and
soon destroyed the Apsalus II to keep it from falling into Federation
hands. Soon after that, salvaged parts from the Apsalus II and
the original Apsalus would be used
to build the final the Apsalus III.
