EMS-10F Zudah F

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The EMS-10F Zudah F is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Blazing Shadow.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A modified space use mobile suit based on the EMS-10 Zudah, it is a phantom machine (ghost fighter) developed by Zimmad Company during the final stages of the One Year War. While a few machines were produced and not officially adopted by the Principality forces, several Zeon units utilized them. The defect of the Saturn engine still remained, but the problem was solved by strengthening the limiter while various other improvements were made such as incorporating parts of the YMS-15 Gyan. In addition to the main thruster on the back, two movable high-power thrusters have been added to improve the maneuverability.

Armaments

• 135mm Anti-Ship Rifle

Developed in the early phase of One Year War, the long-barreled 135mm anti-ship rifle is used by various models of Zeon mobile suits for long-range sniping attack against Federation's warships. It fires highly accurate solid rounds which can heavily damage E.F.F.'s Salamis-class cruiser. In firing position, the anti-ship rifle must be held by both MS manipulators to reduce its massive recoils.

• M-120A1 120mm Zaku Machine Gun

Also referred to as a "rifle" by Zeon soldiers, Zeonic was contracted to develop this weapon. Its internal development code is "ZMC38III". It can switch between semi-automatic and automatic fire. Although useless against Luna Titanium Alloy, it can still destroy weaker armor material with multiple shots.

• Heat Hawk

An axe-like weapon used by the original MS-06 Zaku II, whose name is short for "tomahawk". Thermal energy is relayed through the mobile suit's hand to heat the heat hawk's blade, allowing it to slice through the armor of enemy warships or mobile suits.

• Sturm Faust

A simplified, disposable rocket launcher. As the warhead is not equipped with a guidance device, it is extremely hard to use the Sturm Faust to hit a moving target accurately. However, it is still a highly destructive portable weapon.

System Equipment & Features

• External Propellant Tank

An external tank used for propellant storage. This extra propellant greatly extends a mobile suit's operating range, and enables it to stay in combat longer. When the propellant is consumed, the tank can be discarded to reduce the mobile suit's weight. These tanks use a two-layered construction, with one layer containing propellant, and the other holding extra coolant.

History

The Zeon remnants who called themselves Falaq modified the EMS-10 Zudah, it was given the name "black snake" (Kurohebi) due to the snakeskin pattern camouflage it has.
