MAN-003 Patulia

The Patulia is a giant Mobile Armor created by the Space Revolutionary Army during the 7th Space War.

Combat Abilities
The Patulia was armed with four particle cannons and 30 wired beam cannons which all could only be used in attack mode. The wired beam cannons could be operated by the Newtype pilot in the same fashion as the Bertigo's bits, allowing the Patulia to conduct quick attack from several directions. Lastly the massive mobile armor was equipped with anti-beam field generators which granted the Patulia a powerful defense.

History
The Patulia was originally the main component in the Operation Lilac carried out by the Space Revolutionary Army to swiftly end the 7th Space War. The operation intended to send the Patulia guarded by five RMSN-008 Bertigo units down to Earth so that it could destroy the United Nations Earth's headquarter. However the five Bertigo units were destroyed while the Patulia crash landed on Earth where it was eventually found by former SRA scientist Nomoa Long. Long intended to use the mobile armor for his revenge on Earth's population and hid it beneath the city Fort Severn for 15 years while at the same time searching for a suitable Newtype which he could use to activate the mobile armor.

In AW 0015 Long was able to create an artificial Newtype in the form of Carris Nautilus who also piloted a repaired Bertigo unit. Using Carris in the life pod, Long finally activated the Patulia, causing great destruction to Fort Severn. However Newtype girl Tiffa Adill who worked with a Vulture group was able to contact Carris in the life pod, which allowed Gundam pilot Garrod Ran to crash into the Patulia's control room to rescue Carris. Without a Newtype to control it, the Patulia crashed into Fort Severn ending its threat once and for all.
