Historical Notes and Technical Data

The UDF-027 Javelin was developed by the newly founded Corona Military Systems to replace the failed UDF-021 Daughtress. Intended to be a simple, cheap, and easy to pilot MS, the Javelin quickly became a fan favourite in the military services, eclipsing mobile suits that were supposed to possess even greater performance margins; the Javelin was quickly adopted for mass production by the military and soon replaced nearly every single military model prior to its inception.

The Javelin is equipped by default with a pair of 40mm fire-linked CIWS and beam sabers, along with an anti-beam combat shield for defence. The Javelin is lightly armoured, with engine output processed mainly to power its thrusters, giving the Javelin respectable mobility. The Javelin is so cheap to mass produce it is issued to even the most junior of all cadet pilots to train in, thus featuring almost no customization options whatsoever. It is however equipped with a rather insidious system design; the Mobile Jack System.

Through the MJS, a superior officer could functionally forcibly takeover a junior officer's mobile suit and assign it relatively simple orders - like 'go there', or 'shoot that', to the Combat Assist System, bypassing the need for a pilot almost entirely. In combat, this is meant to primarily function to allow a superior officer to command numerous unmanned units and use them as expendable fodder to reduce actual human causalities, but also functioning to deter cowardice and mutiny.

The Javelin is armed with an 80mm beam carbine which has a hybrid fire selector, enabling the pilot to alternate between a regular beam shot, or fire a lighter 3-shot burst. A long-range beam rifle can also be equipped, featuring only one power setting, but having a greater effective range, and is the primary marksman rifle for the Javelin. For assaults, the Javelin can also equip an ballistic assault rifle, chambered with CSM-patented 75mm APHE rounds via a 20-round magazine, and a more powerful 7-round clip-fed 550mm rocket bazooka. Additionally, the Javelin is compatible with a large variety of equipment, and can generally adapt even weapons or equipment meant for other UDF ms designs.

The UDF-027 Javelin is so cheap its massed produced so widely that the MS is considered easy to get even on the black market. However, this does not discredit any of its internal design as it is considered to be really effective in combat for the amount of money one had to put into its construction. The Javelin proved to be the nemesis for many corporations, and eventually elevated the company to become one of the forefront industries of MS design and construction within the union.

Its eccentric color scheme appears to draw critics to make assumptions that the bright colors were intended to mask the darker hues on the machines of superior officers and ace pilots to limit causalities for the higher-ranking soldiers.

Historical Notes and Technical Data

Manufactured by CMS for the UDF's corporation pilots, the UDF-035 Shamrock was intended for commanders and ace pilots. Following the trend of the UDF giving preference to pilots of that category some level of authority over how they customize their own mobile suits, the Shamrock was designed from the onset to be customizable for any and all intents and purposes the operator desired. To faciliate that need, the Shamrock is equipped with a Mission Adaptor Unit, allowing for field stripping and repair of components, on top of allowing the Shamrock to equip variant 'wearable' attachments and/or components that either serve as replacements or add-ons for the mobile suit's various limbs and equipment. This gave the Shamrock an extensively wide variety of capabilities. On top of possessing greater performance compared to conventional mobile suits of its class, it could be rapidly field-stripped and given equipment to suit the role it had to play during its next mission.

This however caused logistical problems at first, as its limited use in the UDF military meant that very little spares and conversion parts could be acquired in a timely fashion, and often those parts that were passed over to the machine that actually needed it, was in a substandard state. At one point, the Shamrock project was considered to be scrapped and be redesigned from scratch, although it was quickly made famous when the Stratos Team, a group of corporation test pilots joined the project and quickly advanced its development by leaps and bounds.

The Shamrock features all the technologies found on the fundamentally basic Javelin - in fact, the Shamrock features the exact same equipment, except for a newer anti-beam shield that features a greater surface curvature to enhance odds of deflecting stray shots. The UDF-035 Shamrock was later adopted by the military after various corporation pilots vouched for its performance, and a full scale logistics train and support doctrine was set up to provide speedy support of attachments and equipment.


Variants:
  • UDF-035/C Shamrock Cannon

    The Shamrock Cannon is the artillery variant of the UDF-035 Shamrock equipped with the "Cannon Wear Configuration" designed to increase firepower at the cost of mobility. This configuration adds two new armaments; a pair of fire-linked 180mm high-energy beam cannon and 3-tube long range homing missile launchers. Its legs are also equipped with additional armour plates that can double as anchorages. With these new armaments, the Shamrock can assume the role of an long-ranged artillery unit.


  • UDF-035/B Shamrock Blitz

    A high speed variant of the UDF-035 Shamrock; the Blitz uses repulsive forces produced through the interaction of energy fields generated throughout its body to achieve high acceleration and deceleration. Introduction of lightweight parts and vernier control thrusters allow the Shamrock Blitz to achieve mobility incomparable to any other variant model. The Shamrock Blitz is although fast, features heavily decreased armour, both external and internal to squeeze in as much space as possible for its energy field generators, to a point where even a glancing hit may spell doom for it.


  • UDF-035/T Shamrock Tetanus

    The UDF-35/T Shamrock Tetanus is a variant designed for heavy weight melee combat in urban environments, featuring beam emitters along its shoulders, beam claw fingers and knees allowing it to perform devastating physical attacks. The Tetanus gives the Shamrock incredible melee and defensive power at the cost of mobility. The hulking Tetanus makes itself an easy target for long range snipers, although it is not very frequent that a Tetanus will go down from one hit alone.


  • UDF-035/A Shamrock Starks

    The Shamrock Starks is a variant of the Shamrock equipped with the Starks Wear Configuration and is used for hit and run attacks. Two large boosters mounted on the shoulders and numerous smaller ones mounted all over the body provides the Starks with high speed in a single direction; in exchange, the suit's general mobility is reduced and as a result, can become an easy target for the enemy when it is within close range, or when the Shamrock Starks fails to eliminate its intended target in a single attack run.


  • UDF-035/S Shamrock Scout

    The Shamrock Scout is a special operations machine developed for the sole purpose of long range scouting and sniping of enemy forces. Unlike the other variants, this version is not a "wear configuration" but is an actual variant; The Shamrock Scout is equipped with a long-range high-energy beam rifle, a 4-tube missile launcher on its left shoulder and a 105mm multi-purpose launcher on its right shoulder which can be loaded with a variety of rounds, from lethal HE shells to anti-beam charges. In addition, the Shamrock Scout features special radar-absorbent coating and angled armour to conceal its presence in battle. The head unit is also replaced with a high-zoom optics module (the faceplate is removed to increase sensor sensitivity).

Historical Notes and Technical Data

Designed and manufactured by the White Patriarch R&D Unit and supplied to the White Patriarch military forces, the WPM-05 Jinx symbolises the entirety of White Patriarch technological supremacy over its enemies. Developed an unknown time prior to the UDF-WP War, where the WPM-05 was first mass manufactured and deployed for combat. Equipped with an unique plasma gas-cloud generator engine which enabled the operator to freely manipulate to his advantage, the intricate design of the Jinx translated to high performance ratios that even the most advanced mobile suits used by the UDF then couldn't possibly compare to.

The Jinx's design is based around the core concept of its four plasma cloud regulator devices, arrayed into a pattern of an X-shape centred around its chest, where the cloud engine is mounted. Coupled with its electromagnetic Plasma-cloud Conduit System (EPCS) the Jinx could manipulate the output of those regulator devices - plasma gas, into any shape or form; from forming a powerful plasma field to defend itself, or enhancing the firepower of its default ranged weapon: the 120mm high-energy rifle by forcibly magnetising its barrel to draw plasma gas to its barrel to create a far more powerful shot (though, not necessarily longer in effective range on its basic setup).

However, what made the Jinx so effective was the Nervous Assimilator System, which turned a high performance MS into a monster machine. Accomplished by allowing the machine to 'assimilate' the operator, which in turns allows central control mechanisms to be embedded directly into the transmission system and turns the MS into something like an autonomous nervous system, where normal body posture is controlled not by the pilot's brain, but by his nervous system localized in the spinal cord and such, allowing not only greatly improved agility but also responsiveness in combat scenarios, bearing greatly increased efficiency and minimising difficulty of mastering the control systems. In terms of such control systems, a rookie in a Jinx is likely to easily trounce a veteran pilot in a similar machine without the assimilator system.

However, it is not without drawbacks; pilots that continuously make use of the Assimilator system forces gradually begins to experience neural sclerosis, and eventually paralysis and crystallization of the central nervous system. It is known as the assimilation phenomenon, and was originally known to be incurable without long periods of rehabilitation away from the usage of the system. Despite this, the White Patriarch military continued the usage of such systems, regularly rotating operation shifts between pilots to maximise their service longevity. However, some pilots, especially aces in service with the Praetorian Guards in particular have been known to continue pilot careers until they are rendered completely ineffective for service; service records of these extraordinarily devoted soldiers easily number in hundreds of confirmed kills.

The Jinx's widespread usage of the Assimilator system means rotation of pilots limit the gross amount of mobile suits the White Patriarch can sortie in a single moment, but their ability to easily dwarf their opponents in performance means that the UDF's horde tactics never really worked, and served only to throw more cannon fodder into the grinding machine. A typical pilot during the UDF-WP War averaged 30 to 50 confirmed kills in his service, compared to the UDF's survivors, who often had to gang up on a single machine to take him down.

The Jinx is equipped with only two types of weapons, the 120mm high-energy battle rifle as the primary default weapon is similar but far more powerful than a conventional beam rifle due to the muzzle bore, and features an optional long-barrel attachment which the operator could mount to increase the rifle's effective range (not necessarily increasing firepower). What made the rifle so effective was the fact it could interact with the EPCS to 'supercharge' shots that could deliver devastating damage on hostile forces, turning what seems to be an anti-MS weapon into an anti-ship rifle. The fact is that the weapon was so effective in its designed role that decades after incorporating design concepts from UDF military forces, the rifle remains unchanged, as one of the cornerstones of the Jinx's combat strength.

Optionally, a 300mm plasma missile launcher can be outfitted for the Jinx. It is the only type of MS-grade munitions the White Patriarch military produces. It is a solid state missile projectile that explodes in a sensor/timed fuse, creating a plasma blast capable of carving out entire sections of a warship clean from its hull, making it extremely effective against hardened targets or heavily armoured masses.

After the White Patriarch's surrender, the Assimilator system was brought over to UDF's Corporation R&D branches for piecemeal analysis. The morally unethical design, combined with the percieved notion that no sane pilot under the service of the UDF could willingly subject himself to piloting a machine that would kill him even if he wasn't in a fight, eventually caused the military to discard the project and seal it's development. White Patriarch after the war also began using UDF machines, and started to part ways with their long relationship with the Assimilator. These days, Jinxes see operation primarily either by elite pilots of the White Patriarch, or serve under the Praetorian Guard as bodyguards of the High Priest.
