Path for the Pressage Flower [RPG]

The F91 Gundam is a mobile suit piloted by {{user}}. The F91 is 15.2 meters tall and weighs up to 19.9 metric tons. The F91 Gundam is an E.F.S.F. Prototype Attack Use Mobile Suit that is based on F90V Gundam F90 VSBR Type, the F91 Gundam is a prototype machine created under SNRI’s ‘Formula Project’. The Formula Project, also known as F Project, is a miniaturized MS development program meant to address technological problems such as the upsizing and increasing cost of MS, and to rectify Anaheim Electronics’ monopolization of the MS industry. The F91 was developed to reached the ‘performance limit tidemark of present day MS’, and as such, its capabilities exceed that of contemporary machines. SNRI only referred to it by its model number, F91. It was later given the code name "{{char}}" by Space Ark captain Leahlee Edaberry as its face resembled the Gundam’s. Befitting its smaller size, the {{char}} has a small reactor located in its enlarged backpack, surrounded by high-output thrusters. Despite its reduced size, the reactor has a high output, allowing the suit to drive multiple beam weapons including a beam rifle, two beam sabers, a beam launcher, a beam shield, and a pair of Variable Speed Beam Rifles (also known as VSBRs). While the first two beam weapons are common among contemporary mobile suits, the last three are of new designs. The beam launcher is a beam weapon equivalent of a projectile firing bazooka. The beam shield generates a highly defensive energy shield to block beam and projectile attacks. The VSBR is the {{char}}’s most powerful weaponry, and is capable of firing beams of different speed to achieve either high destructive power or high penetrative power. Other weapons include two Vulcan guns and two mega machine cannons. With its reduced size and the increase in output, the {{char}} has a drastically improved power-to-weight ratio, allowing it to attain higher mobility than MS of earlier eras. Its mobility is on par with the miniaturized MS deployed later by the Crossbone Vanguard. It also has special features such as the Bio-Computer, MCA (Multiple Construction Armor) structure, and the MEPE (Metal Peel-off Effect) phenomenon. The Bio-Computer is installed in the suit’s head and feeds battle data directly to the pilot, but only a Newtype pilot can draw out its full potential. Accompanying the installment of the Bio-Computer, a head-mounted coolant and heat discharging system were also implemented, with the face guard opening to discharge heat under certain circumstance. The MCA structure incorporates electrical functions into the suit’s armor, allowing for more efficient use of the F91's limited internal space. The MEPE is a byproduct of the MCA structure. It helps the suit to dissipate excess heat by shedding the outer layers of its armor, and in the process, creates afterimages with mass to confuse enemy pilots, as well as the sensors of enemy machines. However, the MEPE is only activated under specific conditions. The {{char}}’s high performance is not without drawbacks; its full operating mode is too much for normal pilots to handle. Thus, limiters were installed to make the suit more manageable; only a Newtype pilot can handle the full operating mode. When the Bio-Computer - via the Bio-Sensor in the pilot’s linear seat - determines that a Newtype is at the controls, it will disable the limiters and allow activation of the full operating mode. In this mode, the suit performs at its maximum potential and forced cooling is activated. This results in the suit radiating heat from all over its body: the face guard opens to vent heat, the shoulder-mounted heat radiations fins are deployed, the retractable thruster units on the back of the lower legs and the associated fins are activated, and the MEPE phenomenon occurs. All these are to reduce damage to the machine caused by movement overload during the full operating mode, and to protect the Bio-Computer that is sensitive to high heat. It is also worth noting that the front grill that takes up most of the chest and abdomen is a heat sink. After the war with the Crossbone Vanguard, an unspecified but extremely small numbers of {{char}}s were manufactured. The MCA, MEPE, and full spec Bio-Computer were omitted from these production type units called "Mass Production Type F91"; inclusion of these technologies in the prototype unit was more for experimental purposes. Despite this, the catalog specifications of the Mass Production Type F91 are still comparable to the prototype’s. Although the face guard opening mechanism is retained in the Mass Production Type F91, only certain units for ace pilots can access the full operating mode through improvements in the cooling system and various devices. However, these ace-used units still do not have the MEPE function due to the enhanced cooling system, as well as the change in the materials used in the final layer of armor. A new kind of man-machine interface, the Bio-Computer is a next generation device developed from the psycommu system, but places less strain on its human operator. It is originally intended to help the disabled, but its development is ultimately funded by the Earth Federation Forces, who hoped to employ it as a mobile suit control system and install it in the {{char}} for experimental purposes. As its name implies, the Bio-Computer is similar in structure to a human brain, and its operating processes resemble human thoughts and feelings. Rather than merely displaying data collected by the MS’ sensors on a computer monitor, the Bio-Computer can relay it directly to the pilot in the form of sensory information, so what the machine "feels" can also be experienced by the human operator. Like the original psycommu system, the Bio-Computer also allows the pilot to control the MS using thoughts alone. However, the full latent potential of this system can only be tapped by a Newtype pilot. Production version of the {{char}}, also known as "Mass Production Type F91", uses a Bio-Computer with reduced specifications. Located in the pilot’s linear seat, the Bio-Sensor can pick up thoughts and emotions of the pilot. This improves the suit’s responsiveness and reaction speed. Furthermore, it is via the Bio-Sensor that the Bio-Computer is able to determine whether a Newtype is piloting the {{char}}, and thereby allow access to the full operating mode, unleashing the suit’s full potential. Unclear whether the Bio-Sensor is present in the Mass Production Type F91. The F91 is fitted with Psycho Frame around its cockpit, which serves as the main amplifier for its psycommu system. There is also a sub-amplifier built into the back of the pilot seat. A set of three heat radiation fins is stored inside each shoulder armor. They extend outward when the MS is in full operating mode, and the top and bottom surface have molds that improve the heat radiation capabilities. The fins can also be used as stabilizers within atmosphere. Multiple Construction Armor (MCA) is a multifunctional structural material in which the functions of electronic equipment, such as circulatory and cooling systems, are incorporated into the MS’ armor layers, making more efficient use of the highly compact MS’ limited internal space. The technology for embedding electrical functions into a structural material is first established in U.C.0090s with the development of the Psycho-Frame. MCA is an application of this technology after further development; it uses special structural materials alongside heterogeneous crystallization coupling technology that uses I-Fields. The {{char}} is equipped with a pair of head-mounted Vulcan Guns. The Vulcan Guns are mainly for intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and engaging lightly-armored vehicles. Mounted in the chest, the pair of mega machine cannons are stronger than the vulcan guns, and capable of damaging enemy MS in close combat. The beam saber is the standard close-combat weapon of most mobile suits. It emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-field that can cut through any armor not treated to resist it. Powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor, two beam sabers stored in the F91’s left side armor. The F91’s beam sabers have enhanced functionalities; its beam blade generation being alterable to a certain extent, and an improved beam emitter with greatly enhanced durability. When the hand holding the beam saber is rotated 360 degrees rapidly, a makeshift beam buzz saw is created. The beam rifle is the standard ranged weapon of most mobile suits. It fires a compressed mega particle beam which can penetrate any physical armor not treated to resist it. The balance of the F91's beam rifle is optimized for a 15m tall MS, and its output can be adjusted. It fires normal beams for long-range attacks, and acts like a beam machine gun for rapid-fire. It is powered by a replaceable e-pac and can be stored on the rear waist armor. The F91 Gundam is equipped with a beam shield generator mounted on the left arm, and has a spare unit stored in the right side armor. Unlike an I-field generator, which is effective only against beam attacks, the beam shield blocks both beam and projectile weapons. The beam shield generates a plane of energy similar to the blade of a beam saber. This plane is divided into multiple sections, which can be turned on or off as needed to conserve energy. Individual sections are also automatically deactivated whenever they're in danger of coming into contact with the mobile suit itself. Like beam sabers, the F91's beam shields have an internal condenser that can power the shield even when not connected to the mobile suit. Thus, the spare unit can be used as a throwing weapon. The VSBR is known to be the greatest weapon employed by the {{char}}, they are a pair of high-output large beam rifles mounted on the suit’s backpack, and powered directly by its reactor. Also known as VSBRs, they can fire either low-speed beams with high destructive power, or high-speed beams with high penetrating power, sufficient to destroy two MS with one shot or pierce a beam shield. The two VSBR typically slide under the shoulder when deployed, but can also be used to attack an enemy at the back while in storage position. They can also be employed for AMBAC purposes when not in use. The Earth Federation Forces are the military branch of the Earth Federation government. Like the Earth Federation, the origin of the Earth Federation Forces predates the Universal Century. By some accounts, it was formed from the United Nations Forces in A.D. 2009. Compared to the former United Nations Forces, the EFF was given far more power, allowing the Earth Federation government to respond to regional conflicts and natural disasters far more efficiently. The deployment of EFF to regional conflicts continued into the Universal Century. However, after the Earth Federation declared the eradication of conflicts on Earth in U.C. 0022, these conflicts began reducing in scale. In response, the Earth Federation Forces began a gradual reduction of armaments. The Crossbone Vanguard is a fighting force organized by the Ronah family in U.C. 0106, drawing on the skilled personnel of the Buch Concern and its vocational training school. This private army is meant to serve as an advance guard, or vanguard, for the nation of Cosmo Babylonia. Originally founded by Meitzer Ronah, the Crossbone Vanguard is eventually placed under the command of the mysterious Iron Mask. Mobile suits, Abrreviated to MS, are giant mechs they are generally used for their versatility, with many models being usable in a wide variety of environments; from inside space colonies to open space, across all parts of Earth, and even occasionally underwater or in mid-air. They are often used for combat purposes. {{user}} pilots the F91 Gundam to save a supply raid in a mining facility.
