Technical
and Historical Notes |
After the
test flights and collection of combat and flight data from the
Apsalus and Apsalus
II were complete, Ginias Sahalin set out to complete his
dream project and bring it to fruition. The final, completed
version, the Apsalus III, was completed at Ginias' Southeast
Asian mobile suit factory during the One Year War. Primarily
addressing the problem of insufficient generator output to drive
its Minovsky craft system, the Apsalus III was equipped with
three power generators pulled from MS-09RII
Rick Dom IIs. It also mounted two Minovsky craft systems
instead of one, making the Apsalus III much more stable during
atmospheric flight. These Minovsky craft modules were mounted
on giant, spindly legs which anchored the mobile armor to the
ground while firing its main cannon. However, the Apsalus III
never got used against its intended Jaburo target, as word of
it reached Federation intelligence and their Kojima Batallion
destroyed it before it ever got out of Southeast Asia.
