LM312V04 Victory Gundam

The Victory Gundam is a mobile suit in the series Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.It was piloted by protagonist Uso Ewin until he acquired its direct descendant, the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Designed around a Core Fighter base, the Victory Gundam consisted of a "Top Fighter" and "Bottom Fighter", each of which could separate and be docked with a Core Fighter or operated via remote control from another Core Fighter. This modular/docking design not only increased the chances of pilot survivability, thus allowing a pilot to continue fighting if part of his mobile suit was damaged or destroyed, but also allowed for replacement of destroyed modules mid-battle if needed.

The LM312V04 Victory Gundam was the first mobile suit to incorporate the "Minovsky Flight" system, a miniaturized Minovsky craft system designed to keep the mobile suit hovering in mid-air at any altitude while it maneuvered with its rocket and vernier thrusters.The Minovsky Flight technology would later serve as the basis for the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam's much more advanced "Minovsky Drive."

History
By the late UC, The Earth Federation's former glory had slowly collapsed into political and military insignificance, the only hope for freedom lay with the underground resistance organization known as the League Militaire.In UC 0153, the League Militiare launched its "Victory Project" from their Kolin factory near Eastern Europe's Point Kasarelia, its main objective being to design and mass-produce advanced new mobile suits to counter the Zanscare Empire threat that had spread throughout the earthsphere.Named after the legendary Federation mobile suits of the past, Their flagship mobile suit was dubbed the LM312V04 Victory Gundam, and served as a symbol of freedom for the League Militaire forces.
