Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The EMS-TC04 Desphys is a mobile suit which appears in the manga series Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost. The unit is piloted by Jack Friday.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The EMS-TC04 Desphys is an advanced Jovian mobile suit built on the concept of Thocus, or Thousand Custom, which is a philosophy of "1 defeating 1000." The Desphys' specialty is close quarters combat.
Of special note is that the head unit of the Desphys features a "mask" that protects the optical equipment and a heat radiation vent similar to the F91 and F97 (Crossbone) Gundams possessed.
As with most mobile suits that specialize in melee combat, the Desphys is designed for maximum range of movement for its arms and legs and features a high level of agility.
In place of manipulator hands the Desphys features weapon known as "beam fang", 3 on each hand. Essentially at the end of each arm is a rotary device in which three beam emitters are set at equidistant lengths from each other. The beam fangs can be used as standard beam sabers or the rotary mechanics in the arm can be activated, allowing the fangs to serve as a beam rotor, similar to one used by Zanscare Empire.
To balance its armaments the Desphys features a beam gun at the end of each arm, in the center of the rotary mechanics.
In terms of speed the Desphys can easily out-accelerate and outpace a 70 year old mobile suit.
One weakness the Desphys has is that there are flaws in the computer system's ability to determine the capabilities of "unknown" machines. For instance because the designers never anticipated the Desphys facing a 70 year old Zaku II, the targeting computer correlates its size to be 15 meters tall, the same as modern mobile suits, thus the Desphys' pilot will have trouble striking the Zaku because the targeting computer is telling him that the Zaku is closer then it actually is.
Armaments
- Beam Fang
- A set of three beam saber mount on each of Desphys' hands in claw-like fashion. The fangs can be used as typical beam saber or used in conjunction with the spinning mechanic in Desphys' arms to function as beam rotors.
- The beam fang also functions as beam shield and beam rotor, and by switching depending on the situation, it contributes to simplification and weight reduction of the airframe structure.
- In water, you can also generate propulsion by rotating the base of the beam fang and replacing it with a screw.
- Beam Gun
- On each of Desphys's hands are single beam gun for range combat, it seems that its power is not high.
System Features
- Heat Radiation Face Open
History
The Desphys is a unit built in the early UC 0150s as part of the "Circus" mobile suit squad. As a Circus mobile suit the Desphys is one of seven machines designed to fight a high number of enemy mobile suits on its own.
In UC 0153 the Desphys was deployed to the Side 3 colony cluster to retrieve data on Angel's call on a request from the Zanscare Empire.
After that, he was captured by the pirate army because he prioritized his principle over the mission given in the space colony " Meet of Toon ", and Jack was hired by the font in the battle when Jabloh descent. Has participated in the pirate army as a force. In Maria City, he fought Ronald's Lalo and defeated Mermaid 's Desphys Mole , but was safe because Jack was rushing to the Desphys Mole .
In the final battle, a second Desphys , which is a refurbishment of the Desphys Mole, appeared and fights against the Zanscare army , but the reaction speed slows down due to Midas "Midas Touch Flash system". As a countermeasure against this, a circus mother ship will suddenly be equipped with two systems of sensors and rematch with Kizo along with Ghost Gundam. At the end, again, it was thought that Jack had died in the battle after erupting the font whose reason was out of control from the attack of Midas.
