Technical and Historical Notes

Following the creation of the Z-01 Lancelot, the Britannian Special Technical Dispatch uses leftover parts from its development along with the base of an RPI-13 Sutherland to create a second Seventh Generation knightmare frame. This machine, designed to be the Lancelot's sister unit, is formally dubbed Z-01b Lancelot Club (or simply "Club" for short). Due to budgetary concerns, the Club lacks the Sakuradite-heavy frame of its sibling; though its performance is lower than the Lancelot's, it is still superior to the Sutherland. Further, the Club can make use of a "sniper mode" which, combined with its VARIS rifle, gives it exceptional accuracy. Elements of the Lancelot Club, including the lance-type MVS and the shoulder-mounted factspheres, would be applied to the mass production version of the Lancelot, the RPI-212 Vincent.
