F/D-19 Zowort (ザウォート Zauōto?) is a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury [4].
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
An all-purpose mass production unit manufactured by Peil Technologies, known for their prowess at developing airborne mobile suits. Despite its massive upper body, the Zowort could achieve flight without the aid of an additional flight unit thanks to the lightweight chassis, and the triangular thrusters mounted on its back and legs. The Zowort was primarily developed using aeronautics as a basis. It was built with mid to long-range combat in mind. However, it did not have any defensive armaments, which was why pilots assigned to Zoworts were often instructed to engage enemies at a distance and try to evade incoming attacks. Still, there are some pilots who squeeze out all the unit's potential and get in close during combat [1]cover.
Armaments[]
Beam Gun[]
A standard firearm for Zoworts. The weapon featured a short barrel, but superior beam convergence allowed for long-range combat. Each portion of the gun featured streamlined shapes with aerodynamics in mind [1]p. 1.
Beam Saber[]
Close-range weaponry housed in both of the Zowort's forearms. When in use, the saber's mount latches slid forward [1]p. 1.
Equipment & Features[]
Vectored Boosters[]
Additional propulsion units connected to the back. One of the Zowort's optional pieces of equipment, they improved the unit's airspeed and increased its cruising radius [1]p. 1.
History[]
Elan Ceres vs. Three Daigo Pilots[]
At the 3rd Tactical Testing Sector, Elan Ceres's Zowort evaded attacks from the Daigo House pilots. Their mobile suits surrounded the Zowort but Elan flew it upwards. Wangzi spotted it above Osh's mobile suit so Osh began firing upwards but every beam failed to hit [4].
As they continued to shoot, Elan pointed the Zowort's vectored boosters forward and reversed. The beams from his opponents' suits hit the ceiling with the explosions forming a large cloud. The Zowort exited the cloud unscathed and fired at Osh and Wumei's mobile suits, a beam destroyed the blade antenna of one suit which accidentally turned and shot off the blade antenna of its ally. Wangzi ignites a beam saber to avenge his comrades. Elan also ignited one in response and closed in on Wangzi's mobile suit, stealing Wangzi's beam saber and slicing off his mobile suit's blade antenna. The Zowort left wielding two beam sabers. Thus, Elan attained his ninth win [4].
Earth House vs. Grassley House[]
Peil Technologies provided several Zoworts to Earth House, who were struggling to acquire mobile suits for the duel. The four pilots are Earth House included Martin Upmont, Lilique Kadoka Lipati, Ojelo Gabel and Till Nys [1]cover.
