RX-104FF Penelope

RX-104FF Penelope

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Developed by Anaheim Electronics in cooperation with the Circe special force, the Penelope is a large, fifth-generation MS featuring a compact Minovsky craft flight unit. The Penelope is actually a combination of the RX-104 Odysseus Gundam and the FF (Fixed Flight) armor unit. Despite Penelope's size, it is incredibly fast. The unit's most notable trait is the Minovsky barrier which the Penelope deploys frontally when it transforms into its dragon-like mode. This form is necessary when the Penelope cruises at high speed. This barrier reduces drag from air friction against Penelope's frame, allowing it to cruise at high speed and easily break the sound barrier.

In terms of armaments, the Penelope is armed with a beam rifle, vulcan guns, beam sabers, small mega particle cannons and funnel missiles, an extremely accurate Psycommu-guided micro missile. The Penelope is a unit that greatly excels in aerial combat.

Armaments

• Beam Rifle

The Penelope carries a custom beam rifle that, despite having a different design, has about the same power as a standard beam rifle.

• Vulcan Guns

The Penelope houses four vulcan guns in the overhanging "head" mounted on top of the unit. The neck of this unit is articulated and has a small degree of flexibility to aim at the target.

• Shield

The Penelope has two small shields on its arms. Each houses a beam saber and a mega particle cannon.

• Mega Particle Cannons
• 

Two additional mega-particle cannons are mounted on the the arm shield units. When combined with the shoulder mounted cannons, the power of the four cannons surpasses that of the High Mega Cannon of the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam.

• Beam Saber\
• 

The Penelope has 2 beam sabers, one in each forearm shield from where the blade is emitted from.

• Funnel Missiles
• 

These funnels are accurately controlled by the pilot via psycommu. Unlike a standard funnel, they explode upon impact, giving the weapons their name. They are launched from the shoulders and front skirt armor.
