Changes: GN-00902 SEM

Revision as of 13:30, 23 May 2020

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2GN-00902 SEM (aka SEM) is an unmanned mobile suit developed from GN-009 Seraphim Gundam and is first featured in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The SEM is an unmanned mass-production version of GN-009 Seraphim Gundam.^[1] Noticeable differences include the non-Gundam head design and the utilization of a particle storage tank instead of a GN Drive. Two such units are attached onto the GN-008GNHW/3G Seravee Gundam GNHW/3G, and since they are controlled using quantum communications from Seraphim, their remote control range is theoretically infinite. The main purpose of the SEMs is to operate alongside the Seraphim, expanding the effective range of the Trial System to an area of several hundred kilometers.

Armaments

GN Beam Machine Gun: A small machinegun specifically designed for the Seraphim and the SEM. It can be stored on the knee when it is not being used.

GN Shield: A modified version of the Cherudim Gundam's GN Shield Bit. It is handheld when in use and stored on its knee when not needed.

GN Beam Saber: Stored within the SEM's forearms is a pair of beam sabers. Just like the GN Cannons these can be used in either backpack or mobile suit mode.

GN Cannon: Either in its backpack configuration or as a mobile suit, the SEM's primary and most powerful weapons are the GN Cannons located within its arms. In cannon configuration, the hands fold into the barrel. Each arm is capable of firing a powerful beam that can destroy a mobile suit or significantly damage a larger target.

Special Equipment & Features

Trial System: The SEMs help extend the range of Seraphim's Trial System, disabling all enemy units with GN Drive technology and linked to Veda that are within the effective range.

History

Development

During the conflict between A-Laws and Celestial Being, A-Laws continuously introduced new and more formidable MS and MA units to challenge CB's Gundams. The demand for more powerful weapons was necessary to help Celestial Being and their Meisters maintain an edge in future conflicts. An upgrade design was drafted for both Seravee and Seraphim as part of their GN-H(eavy)-W(eapons) development, GN-008GNHW/3G Seravee Gundam GNHW/3G. Though the development was sped up as a trump card to the enemy Innovators, manufacturing of the two SEMs was difficult. Furthermore, since Veda was still in enemy's hands, the two SEMs would not be able to demonstrate their capabilities. As such, Seravee sortied in the final battle with GNHW/B.

Notes & Trivia

The name SEM - Hebrew "name", "fame", "renown"; in Septuagint, Sem; A.V., Shem.
The name, SEraphiM is also analog to GundaM.

-Seravee's enhancements included Seraphim and two unmanned Seraphims called ''SEM'' for the expansion of the ''[[Trial System]]'' to a wider area and from which Veda-linked machines with solar furnaces are rendered useless. Along with Seravee, the two SEMs are controlled usng quantum signals from Seraphim, and this remote control interaction range is theoretically infinite. On the other hand, there is a limit to the area to which the ''[[Trial System]]'' can expand. Nevertheless, an area of a hundred kilometers can be covered.

-Though the development was sped up as a trump card to the enemy [[Innovators]], manufacturing the two SEMs was difficult. Deployment of the SEM units was further complicated because Gundam Meister, Tieria Erde, had not yet regained the link to Veda.  Without that link, the SEMs could not operate autonomously.  Despite providing additional firepower, concerns of the added mass would restrict Seravee's mobility.  The risk of losing their trump card before [[Veda]] was recaptured were too great.  As such, Seravee sortied in the final battle with GNHW/B, which was the second plan.
