Musai Kai-class

The Musai Kai-class is a fictional space warship seen in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Little is known of this upgraded Musai type. It uses the three turret design of the original Musai and the original Komusai shuttle. However, it now mounted two additional single turrets for additional firepower and had better engines. It is unknown how many mobile suits they could carry, but it can easily be said that they were capable of carrying at least five of the new AMX-003 Gaza-C Mobile suits: three in the hangar and two on its Komusai shuttle.

Armaments

 * 2-barrel mega particle gun


 * Secondary gun


 * Large missile launcher

History
After the One Year War the government of the Principality of Zeon was restructured back into the Republic of Zeon, an independent state that was allowed to maintain its own military force as long as they abide by rules and regulations set down by the Earth Federation and comply with regular and random inspections. The Republic of Zeon used a new version of the Musai as their light cruiser that was called the Musai Kai-class. This subclass is based heavily on the original model, though it add two secondary mega-particle cannons to increase overall firepower.By U.C. 0087, most of the surviving original Musai-Class Light Cruisers had been upgraded into the Musai Kai-Class Light Cruisers, by the Zeon forces at the mobile asteroid Axis. This subclass was in use by the Republic during the Gryps Conflict.
