Based on data taken from the Principality of Zeon's old YMS-15 Gyan, the MS-15K Gyan Kai can be considered a prototype for the later AMX-104 R-Jarja. Keeping with the Gyan's theme of powerful close combat, the Gyan Kai's primary weapon is a lance-like sword. When in use, the leaves on either side of its blade spread out, revealing a set of beam emitters lining the blade. This gives the Gyan Kai's melee attacks extra weight, allowing it to hit harder. Its only other weapon is a shield which, like the original Gyan, is packed full of myriad needle missile launchers. Though the Gyan Kai's performance is actually superior to the AMX-107 Bawoo, which is developed simultaneously. In spite of this, the Gyan Kai's limited focus and difficulty of control causes it to be passed over for mass production.
