An Anti-Beam Depth Charge is a defensive technology introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technological Overview[]
Anti-Beam Depth Charge is a defensive device fired from the multipurpose launchers of space warships. These so-called depth charges detonate between the ship itself and the enemy vessels, creating a cloud of beam-absorbing particles which temporarily decrease the energy of incoming beams. However, the particles have the same effect on the beam weapons of the ship which deployed the depth charges, so these devices aren't appropriate for all tactical situations.[1]
History[]
Anti-Beam Depth Charges were most notably used by the Earth Alliance battleship, the Archangel, during the First Alliance-PLANT War. The Archangel used the Depth Charges to protect itself in multiple battles from the beam weaponry of the G Project Gundam stole by ZAFT.[2]
