Based on the highly successful RPI-13 Sutherland, the RPI-029 Gloucester is a close-combat Knightmare Frame reserved for only the best pilots. Instead of using the same stun tonfa wielded by the Sutherland and the RPI-11 Glasgow, the Gloucester's primary weapon is a heavy lance, inspired by the knights of old. This weapon incorporates a set of expanding prongs on four sides, allowing it to easily trap and disarm enemy weapons. Combined with the Gloucester's high mobility, the lance is a fearsome weapon, and can be used to penetrate right into an enemy Knightmare's cockpit, killing the pilot and preventing him from escaping via the standard ejection system. The Gloucester is used almost exclusively by Princess Cornelia Li Britannia and her elite bodyguards, including the elite Glaston Knights. Following the failure of Zero's Black Rebellion, the Gloucester becomes Britannia's mainline Knightmare, maintaining the same high performance as the ace pilot model that preceded it. With the development of an economical, mass-producible Float system, the Gloucester is given a tactical advantage in Britannia's war with the rebellious Order of the Black Knights.
