Anti-ship Sword is a mobile suit weapon introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technical Overview[]
An Anti-ship Sword is a large physical sword with a built-in beam emitter. Although primarily designed to slice apart sections of warships, the sword is also capable of slicing a mobile suit in half.
History[]
The first known Anti-ship Sword was the “Schwert Gewehr” used by the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam, a variation of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam equipped with the close-combat Sword Striker Pack. The Sword Strike made effective use of its Anti-ship Sword during the Battle of Heliopolis, where it destroyed the GINN used by ZAFT ace pilot, Miguel Aiman.[1] Months later, the Sword Strike used the “Schwer Gewehr” to destroy another ZAFT mobile suit, the GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam, during the Second Battle near Orb.[2] The “Schwerin Gewehr” Anti-ship Sword was later mass-produced along with the Sword Striker Pack following the Earth Alliance’s adoption of the GAT-01A1 Dagger as its primary mobile suit. A modified pair of these swords were equipped with the prototype GAT-X133 Sword Calamity.
In C.E. 73, ZAFT developed its own Anti-ship Sword, a pair designed for use by the ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse Gundam, the MMI-710 “Excalibur” Anti-ship Laser Sword.[3]
