Ptolemaios 2 is the new mothership/MS carrier for Celestial Being in season 2.
Combat Characteristics
As the successor to Ptolemaios I, Ptolemaios II is a dramatic improvement over its predecessor. Ptolemy 2 is a multi-purpose MS transport carrier, capable of operating in space, atmosphere, and sea. Ptolemy 2 overall is designed to be a self sustainable warship, capable of providing combat support to their Gundams and/or Meisters in various situations on extended periods of time. The ship has atmospheric re-entry capabilities and capable of returning to space on its own.
The ship no longer uses a docking ring for launching Gundams or support crafts, it has a MS container bay that directly loads their Gundams onto the two linear catapults to launch mobile units in shorter launching times. The MS container bay of the ship was designed to accommodate their Gundams and mobile support units. During underwater operations, the bottom of the bay can open for underwater launching or retrieval.
The ship is loaded with an arsenal of weapons for self defensive/offensive purposes and able to hold its own without the need of a Gundam. The ship can traditionally use high GN particle dispersal for stealth and GN Field for protection, but also have a holographic camouflage system to avoid detection. The ship was also designed to utilize the power of the Gundams, when speed and power is needed, the ship can utilize the Gundam's Trans-Am system to temporarily enhance it's capabilities. Overall, Ptolemy 2 is a highly formidable and versatile warship.
Armaments
GN Missile Launcher
Each side of Ptolemy has a 10-tube missile launcher, capable of firing an array of missiles against enemy MS.
GN Missiles
The GN Missiles are multi-purpose ordinance, capable of being modified for specific purposes in a combat situation. The explosive cluster-jamming missiles are a recent addition to the ship's arsenal. The ship can prepare missiles to be concentrated with explosive particles that could jam enemy sensors and explode on contact. When fired, they can detonate at a specified distance and release explosive particles to confuse, damage, and blind incoming enemy units. The particles are also highly explosive and can ignite an entire area of space, limited to particle dispersal. A particle beam can ignite the field and incinerate everything within the particle field. The missiles can also be prepared to unleash a smokescreen along with explosive-jamming particles. The traditional ordinance are tracking missiles, loaded with GN particles that disperse on contact to overwhelm an enemy MS frame to explode in seconds.
GN Cannon
The GN Cannons are a pair of particle beam cannons on the top of each side of their catapult launchers. The design and firing capabilities are similar to that of GNR-001 GN Arms. The beam canons are fixed stationary weapons and depends on the helm of Ptolemy to change the angle of the ship to adjust their firing solutions against enemy units.
GN Torpedo Launcher
The torpedo launcher is located at the bottom-front area of Ptolemy 2, in between the MS container bays. The weapons platform is a 4-tube launcher, but can fire torpedoes individually if necessary.
GN Torpedeo
Just like GN Missiles, the torpedoes can be prepared to fire specific types of ordinance for underwater and underwater-to-surface firing. The torpedoes can traditionally track and detonate on contact or be modified as a countermeasure, such as concentrated GN particle dispersal and/or smokescreen.
System Features
Trans-Am
Ptolemy 2 was designed to utilize the power of Trans-Am through their solar furnaces. The ship technically doesn't have a Trans-Am system, rather the ship feeds off Trans-Am power from the Gundam's GN Drive. In a situation when Trans-Am is needed, at least one Gundam is needed to super power the carrier. It's unclear what is the ship's particle output and tolerance when utilizing such high GN particle energies, but Ptolemy 2 was designed to siphon GN particles from all their Gundams for maximum potential.
When utilizing the Gundam's Trans-Am, the ship's hull integrity, GN Field, speed, and weapons are temporarily enhanced. Trans-Am was used to help the ship return to space at incredible speeds and can repel powerful particle beams; Trans-Am power is still limited to the duration of the Gundam's GN particle expenditure. Once Trans-Am deactivates on the Gundams, the ship's power return to normal or below parameters until recharged.
Optical Camouflage
Optical Camouflage is a holographic projection stealth system that creates an illusionary image of its surroundings to avoid visual detection. The system is only meant to avoid visual detection from visual sensors and observation satellites a far distances, not upon close range. Upon close range observation, the camouflage is obvious to the naked eye as the holographic grid creates overlapping image folds at the edge of the camouflage.
History
Development
Little was explained into the creation of Ptolemy 2. Though a successor of Ptolemy, it was never explained was this ship a repaired and upgraded version of the original or a completely new variant. The ship can only be logically presumed constructed either at Celestial Being's secret base in Lagrange 1, Lagrange 3, and/or Krung Thep, possibly pieced together from locations. The launch of the ship is also unclear and can only be certain in active service in 2312 AD.
