Technical
and Historical Notes
|
With war
coming to Earth, ZAFT designs various mobile suits to attain
supremacy over the entire planet. The UMF-5 ZnO is one of two
suits designed specifically for amphibious
combat, along with the UMF-4A GOOhN.
As an aquatic unit, the ZnO specializes in high-speed maneuverability
and can transform into a swim mode to travel at high speeds
and ram enemy mobile suits or vessels. The ZnO's armament consists of
hand-mounted phonon maser cannons, which are high-powered
lasers that can travel through water. Other armaments include
two 6-tube missile launchers mounted down the ZnO's chest. In
combat, ZnOs are usually deployed from Vosgulov class submarines and operate in conjunction with GOOhNs
and on occasion the UWMF-1/S
GINN WASP Type. ZnOs are widely used across Earth's oceans,
and many units participate in ZAFT's unsuccessful
attack on the Earth Alliance's Alaska Base.
