Gundam UC site update
The official site now has a bit on colony construction, summaries
of Day Of The Unicorn 2 and 3, MS profiles of the Unicorn Gundam
and ReZEL, character profiles of Takuya Irei and Mihiro Oiwakken,
and a character relationship chart for Sect. 1 of UC 0096.
RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (credit to Mark Simmons @ Mecha Talk)
"A pure white MS produced by the "UC Project," part of the
Federation Space Force's reorganization plan. The entire movable
frame of this experimental machine forms a psyco-frame, and its
responsiveness is incredibly high. It also incorporates a special
"Laplace Program" OS and a system known as "NT-D." When NT-D is
activated, the internal frame expands and the entire figure is
transformed. In the process, the armor separates along its seams,
and slides are released. A red glow can be seen where the internal
frame is exposed by the gaps in the armor, and this is believed to
be a psyco-frame luminescence phenomenon. The machine's
performance, in particular its mobility, is dramatically increased
when NT-D is active."
RGZ-95 ReZEL
"A unit from the RGZ (Refine Gundam Zeta) series developed with the
intent to mass produce the Z Gundam. To dedicate a measure of
success to the mass-production, 8 of them, including a commanding
officer's, are deployed on the Nahal Argama. Rather than the RGZ-91
Re-GZ's variable Back Weapon System, this unit was designed to make
use of a more flexible variable structure. The transformation
mechanism is a simplified throwback to the MSA-005 Methuss' system.
Further, costs were reduced by partly sharing an interior design
with the Jegan's. The result is the first transforming MS in the
GM/Jegan line."
