MSJ-06II-ET Tieren Space Commander Type

MSJ-06II-ET Tieren Space Commander Type (aka Tieren Space Commander Type, Tieren), is a variant of HRL's MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Type in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The unit was piloted by Sergei Smirnov.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Though the Space Type variant deviates little from the overall structure of the standard Tieren, the addition of nine rotatable thrusters permits adequate multidirectional maneuverability in micro-gravity for mobility during space combat, with primary thrust provided by the installations on the dorsal box. The water used by the unit as a propellant is supplied from the tanks within the lower legs, which serve also as substitutes to the Ground Type's leg shield. The portions of the tanks that protrude from the knees are detachable for refueling.

The Commander variant differs from the standard Space type in that it has a different head piece. A second difference is that the two shoulder thrusters have been replaced by two large shields, each mounting two additional thrusters.

Armaments

 * 200 x 25 mm Smoothbore Cannon (Space Type)
 * One amongst the selection of standard solid-round firearms available to the Tieren. The barrel is fixed with a 12.7 mm coaxial machine gun and two heat sink sword bayonets of sufficient resilience for use as a weapon in close-quarters combat.


 * 30 mm Machine Gun
 * This projectile weapon is commonly found mounted to the bottom of the HRL's Tieren units. The smoothbore weapon fires a 30mm round that is used in anti air or in rare cases, anti mobile suit attacks. Possess low destructive power.

History
The Tieren Space Commander Type is the commander variant of the MSJ-06II-E Tieren Space Type.

A Tieren Space Commander Type mobile suit was piloted by Sergei Smirnov when he led a mission in space to capture a Gundam. The HRL had launched and scattered a large number of two-way communicators out into a section of space where it was believed Celestial Being was likely to be. The HRL took advantage of the jamming capabilities of GN Particles to search for an area where communications black out. Then by separating his forces Sergei was able to separate the Gundams. The plan almost succeeded in the capture of the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios and the GN-005 Gundam Virtue.
