Technical and Historical Notes

One of the Jupiter Empire’s many mobile armors, the EMA-04 Elefante was developed for exactly the opposite purpose as the EMA-03 Cangrejo. While the Cangrejo was made to be easy to mass produce and work in conjunction with mobile suit teams, the Elefante was designed for solo combat. It featured five generators of the same make as the Cangrejo’s, which powered the I-field that protected it from all sides. Additionally, it possessed five remote bit weapons as well as a flexible nose cannon, capable of firing in any direction and intended to cover any potential blind spot. One test unit was produced and fielded in the defense of the Jupiter Empire’s base on the moon Io, but when it was defeated by the Crossbone Vanguard, plans to mass produce it were shelved due to practicality issues.
