Technical
and Historical Notes
An experimental
mobile armor developed by Neo Zeon's Newtype Research Labs,
the NZ-333 a Azieru was one of the
largest and most powerful mobile weapons ever constructed at
its time. Intended for use by Newtype pilots, the a
Azieru was equipped with a psycommu (short for "PSYchic COMMUnicator")
system for controlling its nine large-sized funnel remote weapons.
In addition to being able to conduct all-range attacks at great
distances with its funnels, the a
Azieru could also conduct additional all-range attacks in close
quarters with its pair of wire-guided "mega arms", each of which
mounted five fire-linked beam guns, which could be fired in
a machine gun fashion. For raw, heavy firepower, this mobile
armor also mounted a high-output mega particle gun in its head,
capable of destroying several enemy mobile suits with one shot.
In the hands of the temperamental yet powerful Newtype girl
Quess Paraya, the a Azieru was a
truly devastating weapon, laying waste to many Londo Bell mobile
suits during the Second Neo Zeon War.
