Orobas’s Main 200mm Rifle

The main long range firepower of the Orobas, it was taken from the previous version and further upgraded, while retaining its semi high ROF, while increasing its caliber to a 200mm to have more of a punch. 20 Round Box magazines are used

Orobas’s Longsword

The Custom Melee weapon of the ASW-G-55 is a Longsword shaped like an old European medieval styled blade just scaled up to be used in one or two hands of a Mobile Suit. It is constructed out of a Rare Metal High Hardness Alloy The Blade itself has been even further sharpened from its previous iteration, further increasing its cutting ability and effectiveness against MS’s

Orobas’s 120mm Forearm Gun

Taken from a further form of the Barbatos, and scaled down to a smaller caliber, it was made to provide close range firepower and a ranged weapon Incase its rifle should be destroyed, the weapon is stored in an opening within the forearm, to allow it to shoot. It is generally ineffective at range and is stored in both forearms.

             Orobas’s Refined Head

After the events of Validun the Orobas gained a new head, this head has 4 30mm vulcans mounted on it. Good for use as CIWS or as a weapon to suppress enemy MS’s and the “Visor” drops down to increase sensor range. (Prev)

After tuning and having new sensors added, the head visor has a further increased sensor range, with more sophisticated targeting software and computers, along with this the 30mm Vulcans has basically an upscaled Raufoss Mk 211 round.

Equipment:

Orobas’s HMT Backpack

A Redesigned backpack from the original Orobas, while remaining functional the same (but having a higher output due to a better engine), the armor around the backpack has been removed, allowing the two thrusters, which were styled like the ASW-G-08 Barbatos. To be mounted on a swivel mount, allowing a limited degree of movement to the left and right (about it less than 45 degrees.)

           Orobas’s HMT Waist Flight Units

While Remaining functionally the same from the original Orobas. The Waist Flight units have been upgraded, with a better thruster allowing for more efficient and powerful flight. The thrusters have also been upgraded in their ability to swivel as they were placed further back on the waist, allowing more Asymmetric use of the flight units for changing direction.

Orobas’s Shield (Optional)

A shield that was redesigned from the Grimgerde and that can carry the custom sword of the Orobas, which can be taken out of the shield and equipped in the hand, it is mounted on the forearms, which stop the 120mm forearm guns from shooting, but give the Orobas more defense. Can be purged from the MS to allow said forearm guns to shoot. It’s made from a high hardness alloy, with a layer of Nanolaminate.

Appearance: Upgrading from its old demonic like form, the Orobas now takes after it’s appearance that of the old knights of legend, making the machine seem thinner, but more rounded, to deflect both physical rounds and blades. It’s head remains the same one the original orobas gained during the events at Validun it conforming to the knightly theme that it continued forth with the rest of the machine, the rest of the armor remains mostly slim, cutting back it’s armor to reduce weight, and to have more mobility. [Note: The head has four 30mm vulcans mounted on its head and the “Visor” drops down to increase sensor range]

History

:3156 A.D Gundam Orobas Development begins.

ASW-G-55, Gundam Orobas the 55th Gundam Frame Produced and christened with the title of the 55th demon of the Ars Goetia. The Gundam Frame was built as a Medium to Close range High Mobility harreser. The main funder for the Mobile Suit’s production was by an Old Empire Duke, who based its capabilities off of a High Mobility Gundam Test Type the ASW-G-1-54 “Mulion”, with new and updated parts it set the Orobas at very high acceleration however; it came at a general cost of top speed. But the Duke was satisfied with the Gundam, so it would commence military testing.

      3160 A.D Gundam Orobas Final Test Flight.

After some years of R&D with the Orobas it proved its worth as a testbed for modern High Mobility technology, and would allow the development of higher quality suits in the future; however; it would be set for a final test to show its true worth. It would face off in a proper fight against two limited production suits of lower quality to what the base Orobas was capable of on paper, in an Urban environment Test Ground, Using Sim rounds. The Test Flight.. Was a disaster, it’s test pilot, Fjords Vere Vectura who was connected to the machine Via an AV system went berserk in the opening stages of the test.

By the time they were able to stop the Gundam, no they didn’t stop it. It merely killed its pilot, forcing the machine to stop. In anycase, by the time they were able to scramble Mobile Suits to help the test pilots.. One of the Machines had its cockpit destroyed, the other near the same fate only being saved by timely fire by support units. It continued on this rampage for another 5 minutes, slowly being torn apart from gunfire and melee combat. Until it eventually suddenly crashed and fell partially into a building. The Demon which was said never to betray, in a twist of irony betrayed its pilot. When they tore into the Orobas[s] cockpit the pilot was bleeding out of the eyes, mouth and ears. Needless to say he was declared dead, and taken out of the Gundam and its AV system.

The machine was locked away, damaged with the left arm nearly cut off from the elbow down the right shoulder pauldron was destroyed, The left and right knee armor destroyed and finally the main head visor losing its functionality from its final fall, with its specifications being kept intact incase they were to ever attempt to rebuild the machine\*

Performance Notes:

The direct equipment that affects the speed of the Orobas is it’s HMT Backpack and HMT Waist Flight Units. Increasing the Speed and Mobility of the Orobas by 50%. With Full Equipment load, (Ie, Fuel, Ammo, Weaponry, Reactive Armor ect) It can experience from a 5% loss in mobility and speed up to 20% when all equipment is used.

       Speed

Straight line acceleration: 16 IAFA (13 Fully Kitted)

       AMBAC maneuvers: 8 IAFA (6 Fully Kitted)

       Direction changing speed: 17 IAFA (14 Fully Kitted)

Powerplant: x2 Ahab Wave Reactors

Main Thruster Count: The Orobas has 4 main thrusters, two in its backpack and the two flight units, it has various Vernier thrusters, mainly one large one in each shoulder, two medium sized ones in the thighs, two small ones on the left side of the left thigh The opposite for the right thigh.

Miscellaneous Performance Notes: Due to having even one Ahab reactor, it makes stealth almost impossible for stealth, and due to having 2 of them, the suit is very ill-suited to stealth operations. Parts of the frame beneath the armor have also been covered up, while it only slightly limits their movement, they are now protected from getting its frame destroyed easily.
