Xvv-xc Zedas

The xvv-xc Zedas is a mobile suit of the Unknown Enemy (UE) that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Zedas is a high-mobility CQC UE type in the same class as the Ovv-f Gafran. However, unlike the Gafran, it is not equipped with a Beam Rifle and is instead equipped with a removable "tail" that can function as a sword. Also, unlike the Gafran, the Zedas does not possess a "dragon-like" mode. Instead it transforms into something akin to a fighter jet, befitting its status as a high-mobility unit.

Armament

 * Zedas sword/Tail
 * Normally serves as the Zedas' "tail". It can detached and used as a sword, while boasting of higher cutting power than a beam saber.


 * Beam Vulcan
 * Mounted on both hands. Fairly effective at damaging or destroying most human made creations. Also possess the ability to generate a beam saber. The Zedas' beam Vulcans appear to have a higher rate of fire compared to the Gafran, seemingly without loss of power.

History
One Zedas was involved in the attack on Nora, but it did not make its presence known until after the colony had been hit by a number of colony destroyer-type weapons. When it did get involved, it ignored the Diva, in order to enter the colony where it proceeded to scan and destroy the military base. After the base's destruction, the Gundam engaged the Zedas to keep its attention away from the Diva and the colony core. After a high speed battle between the two units, and after the DODS rifle had been drained of power, Flit made an intense proclamation that he would defend the colony, after which the Zedas retreated for reasons unknown.

The Zedas is again seen in the Madorna Mobile Suit Workshop, suggesting that the Unknown Enemy might have outside accomplices who built the suit.
