Technical
and Historical Notes
|
An experimental
mobile suit intended to correct the mistakes made in the massively
armored NRX-010 Gable, the New United Nations Earth's NRX-011 Britova was designed to serve as a balance
of speed and maneuverability with heavy armor and weaponry.
One Britova prototype was assigned to Dweyt Langraf (known as
the "Shadow" from the New UNE's Eastern Campaign), who
customized this mobile suit by removing all of the original
weapons except the large, shoulder-mounted micro-missile launcher
pods. Langraf then installed a rocket-guided, heated monofilament
wire cutter in the right forearm. With these two weapons, the
dual-personality Langraf could carry out his "evil" personality's
favorite tactic of luring an enemy in (or keeping them from
getting away) with micro-missile barrages, and slicing up that
enemy at close range.
Shagia Frost and Olba Frost promised a two-rank promotion to
the mentally deranged Langraf if he could defeat the Vulture
mobile suit GX-9901-DX Gundam Double
X. In the battle that followed, Langraf delivered a heavy
attack of missile hits and wire cuts against Garrod Ran's Double
X and Witz Sou's Gundam Airmaster
Burst. When the two Gundam pilots figured out what sort
of strange weapon the Britova was using, Witz provided a distraction
while Garrod shot and destroyed the wire cutter's guiding rocket
motor. With the wire cutter rendered useless, and his two enemies
too close to hit with missiles, Langraf found his Britova suddenly
defenseless and was quickly destroyed.
