MS-14B Gelgoog Uma Lightning Custom

The MS-14B Gelgoog Uma Lightning Custom is a specially modified MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type mobile suit used by Uma Lightning. It is featured in the MSV-R series.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
During the One Year War, Gelgoog incorporates parts left over from the prototype MS-11 Action Zaku before the designation of the Gelgoog project was changed to "MS-14." After the One Year War Uma Lightning would use Federation materials and technology to upgrade the Gelgoog so that it could compete with newer mobile suits.

The armor was upgraded by replacing the super hard steel alloy with Gundarium alloy favored by the Federation that was fashioned in the crushable armor method favored by Zeon engineers, which disperses impact energy by breaking the outer armor in a controlled manner instead of relying solely on hardness.

Another upgrade was the addition of magnetic coating to the joints. While Zeon did employ this technology at the end of the war it is suspected that what is used on this particular Gelgoog is a more advanced form that was not developed until after the war.

Also the verniers were upgraded for increased output using fuel made by the Federation.

These upgrades can be discovered through analysis of the machine's performance. Specifically a spectrum analysis will reveal that the Gelgoog's targeting lasers matches those made with Federation technology, as does analysis of the flames from the verniers which reveal that the thrusters use a fuel made by the Federation.

Armament

 * Twin Beam Sword
 * The twin beam sword, also known as a beam naginata, is the MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type's weapon in close-range melee combat. The beam sword operates by generating a beam of plasma contained and shaped by an I-field.


 * Beam Rifle
 * The technology of the rifle allows the weapon to fire compressed mega particles in the form of a beam which has the power to penetrate all but the specially treated materials.
