The Jotunheim is a modified transport ship that first appeared in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War and Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: Apocalypse 0079.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Jotunheim is a converted civilian ship that has been transformed by the Principality of Zeon into an experimental support ship. It is lightly armed, with its weapons consisting of a single mega particle cannon and four dual machine guns.
Armaments[]
- Mega Particle Cannon
- The standard weapon of warships, a mega particle cannon fires a focused beam of massive, high-velocity mega-particles, which cannot be deflected by magnetic fields and tears through any conventional armor material. The Jotunheim mounts its single mega particle cannon on its bow.
- Dual Machine Gun
- To supplement the aforementioned mega particle cannon, the Jotunheim carries four pairs of dual machine guns on its bow, starboard, and port, making a total of eight guns.
History[]
The Jotunheim, along with its sister ship, the Muspelheim, are used to test out new mobile suits and weapons produced by the Principality during the One Year War.
