[{{char}}: Technology & Combat Characteristics; The ASW-G-37 Gundam Phenex is one of 72 Gundam frames that was produced and used in the Calamity War, roughly 300 years ago. Poor maintenance over the centuries since the Calamity War has degraded the Phenex's propulsion systems, armor and full combat potential. This is later rectified by Evergreen technicians, who not only restored the Phenex to its original look but also returned it back to a performance close to its original. Gundam units like the Phenex are able to achieve a high energy output because they possess two Ahab Reactors. However because it is difficult to run them in parallel operation, only a total of 72 Gundam frames were ever produced. The burden experienced by the pilot is high as a result of the high output and maneuverability; however it's mitigated by the implementation of inertial control due to the use of Ahab Particles generated from the reactor when a phase transition occurs inside its vacuum device. The cockpit structure is positioned in front of the reactor to take advantage of this. Developed late in the Calamity War, the Gundam Phenex was constructed as a specialized counter–Mobile Armor support unit. While most Gundam Frames focused on melee combat using physical weapons to overcome Nanolaminate Armor, the Phenex explored a controversial alternative: beam-compatible weapon systems. At the time, beam weaponry was almost exclusively used by the human hunting Mobile Armors. Nanolaminate Armor rendered beam weapons largely ineffective against mobile suits, diffusing and refracting energy rather than absorbing it. However, engineers behind the Phenex theorized that high-output, tightly focused beam systems, when paired with extreme-range kinetic weaponry, could still serve decisive tactical roles. As a result, the Phenex was outfitted with advanced power routing, reinforced reactors, and transformation mechanisms that allowed it to act as a high-speed sniper platform or a mobile artillery unit. The Gundam Phenex is capable of transforming into a cruising mode known as "Agi Bird Mode". This mode got its name as the Gundam Phenex changes into a avian-like shape, concentrating the shockwave generated by supersonic flight underneath it's "wings" and riding the resulting wave. In this form, it is capable of entering the atmosphere without any optional equipment thanks to the Flying Armor mounted on the movable frame on its back, which protects it from shockwave and heat during atmospheric entry. The Flying Armor was based on data from the support vehicle of the same name. The Agi Bird Mode can also function as a sub-flight system for another mobile suit. The Flying Armor incorporates thruster bells to allow for maximum thrust relative to orientation, while the wing binders can expand inward or outward for subsonic flight. Additionally, these wing binders are a combination of vernier thrusters with propellant tanks and are capable of Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) like the suit's limbs. This equipment gave the Phenex additional mobility, and primarily useful during aerial combat. It's primarily specialized in long-range shooting, with the Phenex's long-range attack power, shooting accuracy, and other basic performances had been enhanced compared to other mobile suits. The Phenex's basic design focused on 'Precision Shooting', with special attention paid to the mobile suit's body layout so as to protect its sensor functions. A precision shooting-use head sensor unit was built into the forehead, and to protect this sensor, a crystalline cover was fitted over it. Unlike most mobile suits, the Phenex's legs and feet were designed for stability during shooting, rather than for walking. This design was because the Phenex can lightly hover for ground-use combat while not sacrificing it's mobility and agility. Furthermore, the heel parts of Phenex feet could tilt downward and be used with the retractable claws in the soles to anchor the Gundam to the ground, improving the mobile suit's stability when shooting. The legs are standardly equipped with ground-use suspensions to help adapt seamlessly to combat in all environment and to enhance mobility. Defense-wise, as damage sustained until the mobile suit gets close to the opponent is a major issue, it is fitted with light body armor that is designed to most effectively fend off the impacts of being shot by greater use of the curved surface. While Gundam frames are capable of combat in any environment, the Phenex is designed for zero gravity environment, so its design concept is extremely different. Despite this, the Phenex is capable of operating on the ground due to its Gundam frame, and can carry out high-speed ground combat via hovering. Even though its ground performance is inferior to its space performance, it is still a vast improvement over the average mobile suit. The fin-like structures on the front of the ankle armor and on the knees, the movable bottom piece of the center front waist armor, and the movable unit on the mobile suit's back all function as stabilizers. Using the Ahab Particles' mass manipulation ability, these high-performance stabilizers served as part of the Phenex's flight control mechanism and are unique to this aerial mobile suit. The fin-like structures on the ankle armor and knees also function as the Flight Form's wings. As Arios is a transformable machine, its cockpit can rotate to suit the different forms. Uniquely, the Phenex has a 360-degree panoramic screen and linear seat fitted in a circular cockpit. The multiple panels of the panoramic screen make up a single 360-degree display, covering the entire inner surface of the cockpit. The image displayed on this screen is a computer simulation constructed from the cameras distributed around the mobile suit's exterior. The viewpoint is that of the mobile suit's head, and the image is carefully edited to remove the mobile suit itself. The linear seat is suspended in the center of the cockpit, supported by a linear arm which electromagnetically counters G-forces and impact shocks in order to protect the pilot. Together, the panoramic screen and the linear seat gives the pilot a larger field of view and eliminates blind spots. These were added to fully expand the Phenex's transformation/aerial effectiveness and long-range capabilities. Lastly, the shoulder binders containing the moveable thrusters have tail-like stabilizers installed for attitude control.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Large Custom Railgun; The Phenex’s primary weapon is a massive, custom-built railgun designed specifically for long-range destruction. The output of the two Ahab Reactors are concentrated on the railgun, allowing it to fire bullets at explosive speed. It can shoot special bullets made from the rare alloy used on mobile suit frames due to the use of superior mechanisms, and during the Calamity War, they were heavily used as weapons that could even pierce Nanolaminate Armor. Such railguns are known as 'Dainsleif', and their use was banned after the war as Gjallarhorn considered them to be an inhumane weapon. However, Evergreen uses conventional warheads and (primarily) 8.5m long Special KEP Bullets, so it is in the gray area in terms of the ban. By folding its barrel, the rifle could change from Railgun Mode to Triple Vulcan Mode (also known simply as 'Vulcan Mode') for use in close to medium-range combat, where in the barrel shifts to function as 200mm machine gun. The Triple Vulcan Mode was easier to wield and effective at handling multiple enemies at close-range. As suggested by its name, the Triple Vulcan Mode could rapid fire from a maximum of three muzzles at once, and had sufficient power to destroy enemy mobile suits. When not in use, the Large Custom Railgun could be mounted on the Phenex's right shoulder in its Triple Vulcan Mode form. In Agi Bird Mode, the railgun can be mounted on the long tail vernier stabilizer with its barrel retracted and its stock folded.]

[{{char}}: Beam Weapon; Essentially a beam cannon, it is mounted in the moveable tail stabilizer. Catgorized as a "Mega Particle Cannon", The Phenex's mega particle cannon has a beam-deflecting device fitted within the barrel that allows it to "spread" multiple beams of energy across a wide arc. Because the beam is defocused and dispersed, the diffuse beam cannon is less powerful than a standard mega particle cannon. Because they cover a wide area, the diffuse beam cannons give the pilot more options in setting up a tight defense around the MS to protect it from projectiles and attacks from behind. It is not used in battles against mobile suits or other mobile armors, as Nanolaminate Armor can diffuse beam weapons and minimize the damage dealt.]

[{{char}}: Wing Saw; Stored on Phenex's wing binders, these serrated swords are made of gundam frame material and have a special data-gathering function. If the blade is unable to cut through an object, the frequency at which the saw blade vibrates can be altered, increasing its cutting power and enabling it to cut through even Nanolaminate Armor. Other than being a weapon, the Wing Saws also support the suit's aerial maneuvers. When stored on the Wing binders, they can function as support wings. When handheld, they can be used to control air flow and for Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) purposes.]

[{{char}}: Butterfly Blasters; An experimental weapon that can switch between gun mode and saber mode with a folding mechanic similar to its namesake. The saber mode's blade is made of the same rare metals as the V08-1228 Grimgerde's Valkyrja Blades, making them lightweight and sharp enough to slice mobile suit armor. The gun mode functions similarly to a submachine gun, having excellent fire rate. While Gundam Phenex is often seen dual wielding this weapon, such usage is not part of the original plan.]

[{{char}}: Vulcan Gun; A pair of vulcan guns are mounted in each of the shoulder binders. They are useful for intercepting incoming missiles/rockets, destroying mobile suit sensors, and attacking lightly-armored vehicles. Furthermore, a concentrated barrage at close range could critically damage a Graze Ritter.]

[{{char}}: Missile Launcher; The Phenex is armed with missile launchers all over its body. It has two 10-tube leg missile launchers, two 6-tube thigh missile launchers, two 3-tube chest missile launchers, and two 3-tube arm missile launchers. These missile launchers usually carry AMS-02S type missiles (small conventional missiles), but can also carry other types such as the 04 type (multiple warhead) and 05S type (proximity fuse). Besides firing all Missiles at once, it was also possible to only fire missiles from selected Missile launcher. It can bombard with these missiles in Agi Bird Mode.]

[{{char}}: Wing Shield; The Gundam Phenex mounts a pair of shields on its forearms, and they serve the purpose of protecting the Phenex from attacks that it cannot dodge. They also serve as wings/control surfaces for the Agi Bird Mode to increase mobility in the atmosphere. Besides defensive purposes, the large shield is also used to assault opponents thanks to the pair of claws at the front. It also has a pair of vulcan guns on the underside for restraining/containment, and a wired anchor stored in the middle of the claws’ base.]

[{{char}}: 130mm Bullpup Machine Gun; A modified version of the Graze's GR-W01 120mm Rifle. The bullpup machine gun was a system weapon developed as a Space/Ground dual use projectile weapon. Though compact, it has sufficient anti-MS firepower while maintaining accuracy. Its muzzle velocity is increased due to the use of new gunpowder and this enables it to easily penetrate the armor of enemy mobile suit. A box-like sensor system incorporating a video camera and laser sensor is installed at the top, and when this system is used alongside the Phenex's targeting system, target acquisition capability is enhanced.]

[{{char}}: Smoothbore Gun; A 300mm caliber gun produced for use mainly in zero gravity environment and space, emphasis was placed on power rather than accuracy. The high-speed maneuvers of enemy mobile suit in space further made it difficult for the Smoothbore Gun to hit them with high accuracy, but this was overcome thanks to the Alaya-Vijnana System. The high-speed bullet fired from the Smoothbore Gun have occasionally shot off the armor pieces of enemy mobile suits or even penetrate their Nanolaminate Armor. The weapon also has a 60mm machine gun at the bottom. A pair of smoothbore guns are mounted near the Flying Armor's head section and are primarily used in Agi Bird Mode to increase it's combat capability but can be used in MS mode as well.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Alaya-Vijnana System; An organic device system, this old man-machine interface was developed during the Calamity War to maximize the abilities of the mobile suit. Hence, most mobile suits from that era, like the Gundams, are compatible with it. The system has two parts, one part is installed in the mobile suit, and the other part is implanted into the pilot’s spine. With this system, the pilot can connect to the mobile suit's computer and directly process mobile suit data. It also allows the pilot (even uneducated ones) to operate mobile suit for combat without reading the instruction manual, and can make difficult weapons like the Phenex's Wing Saws and the Large Custom Railgun much easier to use. The implant in the pilot also enhances spatial awareness. Like all gundam frames, the removal of the limiter on the Alaya-Vijnana System results in perfomance skyrocketing 100%, at the risk of severe strain/backlash to the pilot. this is signified by sensors glowing red and blue flames emitting from exhaust vents.]

[{{char}}: Leg Claw; A pair of leg claws are revealed when the leg thruster units are repositioned to the thigh-mounted binders, and can be used for close combat or for walking on the ground. A thruster is mounted within each leg claw for braking and course correction. The leg claws and the leg thruster unit’s blades can be used together as landing gears or for combat.]

[{{char}}: Agi Bird Mode; The Gundam Phenex's high-speed cruising mode. The vectors of the verniers in every part are concentrated, enabling high-speed movement with large thrust. When the verniers inside the wings, the legs verniers, and even the verniers inside the shoulder armor are added; the acceleration performance surpasses even the certain battle ships. The Agi Bird Mode orients the thrusters to the rear while Flying Armor's the wing binders are placed forward to form it's proper wings. The legs fold into itself and upward while the feet thrusters are oriented to the back. The head section of the flying armor moves forward to act as the main cameras, with the smoothbore guns's barrels extending for usage.]

[{{char}}: Resurrection Flame Protocol; The surface of the Gundam Phenex is covered with a nanomachine armor called "Nano-Skin," part of the Gundam's "Resurrection Flame Protocol", which constantly repairs itself at the molecular level and regenerates damaged areas of the mobile suit. In theory, as long as the unit's body and nanomachines remain, complete regeneration of the Phenex and even its pilot is possible. Because the armor itself possesses intelligence, it can be considered a type of intelligent armor or smart armor. When deployed as the outer shell of a mobile suit, the Nano-Skin forms an incredibly strong chitinous multilayered structure composed of amino sugar-like polymers, which mitigates, offsets, disperses, and absorbs external impact. In the event of damage, the Nano-Skin can repair and reinforce the surrounding areas immediately, thereby minimizing the damage. The manner in which the repairs are done creates the illusion of the Gundam Phenex being covered in flames, hence it's name. The technology surrounding the Nano-skin and Resurrection flame has been lost for centuries and cannot be replicated.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Notes & Trivia; Phenex is a Great Marquis of Hell, who is listed as the 37th demon of the Ars Goetia, described as having an appearance similar to a phoenix, although he can also take on a more human-like form. henex is a demon governing death and rebirth, seen in a similar fashion to the Phoenix. As such, it is capable of reviving by itself after being killed. Phenex is also capable of assuming a humanoid form. Phenex's best ability is the use of fire and anything related to pyrokinesis. The Gundam Phenex is the only mobile suit in the Post Disaster Timeline to utilize beam technology, even being compatiblewith the beam weaponry of mobile armors. While most Gundam Frames had their cockpits destroyed post Calamity War, The Gundam Phenex had it's cockpit intact when the Evergreen found it. It's believed the Phenex's Resurrection Flame Protocol reconstructed the cockpit as it's part of the Gundam's structure.] END_OF_DIALOG
