Technical
and Historical Notes
|
With war
coming to Earth, ZAFT designs various mobile suits to attain
supremacy over the entire planet. The UMF-4A GOOhN is one of
two suits designed specifically for amphibious
combat, along with the UMF-5 ZnO. As
an aquatic unit, the GOOhN can transform into a 'swim mode' to travel at high speeds
and ram enemy mobile suits or vessels. Aside from the main GOOhN, ZAFT also produces the experimental variant UTA/TE-6 G00hN Underground Mobility Test Type. The GOOhN is more heavily armed
than the ZnO, but it features the same main weapon: the phonon
maser
high-powered lasers that can travel
through water. Other armaments include two 7-barrel missile
launchers mounted on the forearms, along with a rifle dart launcher
and supercavitating missile launcher. In combat, GOOhNs are
usually deployed from Vosgulov
class submarines and operate in conjunction with ZnOs
and on occasion the UWMF-1/S
GINN WASP Type. GOOhNs are widely used across Earth's oceans,
and many units participate in Operation Spitbreak's unsuccessful
attack on the Earth Alliance's Alaska Base.
