Technical
and Historical Notes
|
Developed
to be the new symbol of freedom for the League Militaire resistance
group, the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam was the direct descendant
of the original LM312V04 Victory Gundam.
The Victory 2 Gundam (also called the "V2 Gundam") retained
the three-component Core Fighter/Top Fighter/Bottom Fighter
transformation and combination system of the original, while
incorporating new technologies and an increase in performance.
The most significant of these new technologies was the "Minovsky
drive" system, a development of the Victory
Gundam's Minovsky flight system, but operating like a MS-sized
version of a battleship's Minovsky craft system. The Minovsky
drive allowed the V2 Gundam to achieve atmospheric flight and
hovering abilities, as well as flight in space, without the
use of conventional rocket thrusters (although the V2 did still
use conventional rocket-style vernier thrusters for some maneuvering).
In addition to providing the V2 with its flight thrust, the
Minovsky drive could also be used as an offensive or defensive
weapon, as the energies produced by the drive could be manifested
as a pair of large beam "wings of light." These wings of light could be used
in a variety of ways, from acting as giant slicing beam weapons,
to providing addition beam shield defense for the V2 itself
or several other targets at once.
Aside from the added benefits of the Minovsky drive, the armament
of the V2 Gundam was basically the same as the original Victory model. However, the V2 was also designed to be fitted with additional
armor and weapons systems when necessary. Two such "powered
up" forms included the LM314V23 V2 Buster
Gundam and LM314V24 V2 Assault Gundam.
Ace League Militaire pilot Uso Evin was the assigned main
pilot of the LM's single V2 unit, and he would use this powerful
mobile suit quite effectively during the Zanscare War in UC
0153.
