MS-13 Gasshia

This is a mobile suit from the Gundam anime series.

In the late stages of the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon started their highly classified "Pezun Project" to develop high powered mobile suits equipped with unique weapons like beam rifles at Space Fortress Pezun. One of the mobile suits developed at the base was the MS-13 Gatsha. It was strongly based on the design of the MSM-07 Z'Gok, and could be considered a space version of the Z'Gok. It had anti-ground sensors (in the shape of a V) mounted on its back. The Gatsha's armaments were a pair of four-barreled 180mm missile launchers mounted on its shoulders, and could carry either a cracker grenade or a hammergun, Zeon's answer to the RX-78-2 Gundam's Gundam hammer/hyper hammer.

When the Federation began its operation to retake Space Fortress Pezun in December of UC 0079, the forces there gathered up. Among them were some MS-17 Galbaldy Alphas, MS-10 Pezun Dowadges, MS-12 Gigans, and a few Gatshas; one piloted by Daru. The base was retaken, and the prototypes of all mobile suits developed there were either destroyed or captured.
