NT-D System

The Newtype Drive System (aka NT-D) is a anti-Newtype operating system utilized by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.

Description & Characteristics
As the name implies, the NT-D system was created with the specific purpose of combating enemy Newtype pilots. With the Earth Federation still fearful of the power that Newtypes possessed, the Federation commissioned longtime MS developer Anaheim Electronics to create a system that could effectively allow an Oldtype to combat Newtypes. This eventually led to the development of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam

It is unknown how the NT-D System exactly works, but it is only usable in the presence of a Newtype, though it has shown to also activate in the prescence of Cyber Newtypes. The Unicorn uses its internal psycoframe and scans the surrounding area for Newtype brainwaves. If a Newtype was found, the system would activate and transform the Unicorn into its Destroy Mode. In Destroy Mode, the Unicorn Gundam's abilities are greatly increased and it can move at greater speeds thanks to the exposed thrusters. The NT-D System was also designed to combat Newtype mobile suits equipped with funnels. The system can take control of a enemy's funnel/bit units and use them against the pilot. The system is also automatically activated in the presence of a Newtype, but this can be subverted by the will of the pilot.

Notes & Trivia

 * Despite being designed for eliminating newtypes, the Newtype Drive System is not limited to them, seen by it activating when the Unicorn Gundam was in the pressence of Full Frontal and Marida Cruz, both of whom are confirmed Cyber Newtypes.
