Technical and Historical Notes

BESPA’s ZM-S24G Gedlav mobile suit was designed as a ground combat unit, specifically to be used with the unusual new Einerad weapon. Because of this requirement, the Gedlav was built extremely compact – a mere 13.8 meters tall. Both arms were equipped with a beam shield, thus closing up the defensive blind spots in the sides of the Einerad. When mounted on the Einerad, the Gedlav proved to be a highly mobile and well-protected combat unit. However, when its Einerad was destroyed, a Gedlav found itself severely lacking in these mobility and defense departments.
