La Gramis is a space fortress that appears in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Overview[]
It is an eight-kilometer-long space fortress with a special shape consisting of numerous spheres and connecting rods that resemble a molecular structure diagram. The fortress can be separated and joined at will, and its battle form can be changed according to the situation and purpose. Each sphere fires and refracts a beam, which converges and shoots out the "Digmazenon Cannon", a fortress cannon whose power is comparable to that of a strategic weapon. The base commander is Falk Ocramud.
History[]
The fortress would completely destroy the Earth Federation headquarters, Big Ring, with its Digmazenon Cannon after approaching Earth's orbit in A.G. 164. This action enabled Vagan to launch their full-scale assault on Earth.[1]
After the Federation had successfully recaptured the Luna Base, they began the advancement on the fortress with the objective to completely destroy it.[2]
In the ensuing battle, the Vagan Fleet commanded by Zeheart Galette took defensive positions to hold off the Federation Forces. The Federation pushed on into the Vagan lines without the fear of the Vagans using the Digmazenon Cannon as the Vagan Fleet had deployed their forces in the firing range of the cannon. However, the Federation is caught in Zeheart's trap as the Vagan ships within in the firing range of the cannon were all decoys and unmanned. Although former Commander-in-Chief Flit Asuno quickly realized the ploy after Derek Jackrow reported that some of the Vagan ships acted strangely, Zeheart ordered the firing of the Digmazenon Cannon before the Federation could properly react. This attack destroyed at least four Federation warships and many Federation MS.[2]
Flit quickly adapted and changed the Federation's tactics, he ordered the "Diva" to create a path through the Vagan lines with its "Photon Blaster Cannon" so that Federation ships could break through and destroy La Gramis. As the battle continued, Zeheart ordered the docking of La Gramis with Second Moon, which allowed the Digmazenon Cannon to fire again using Second Moon's energy. Zeheart then ordered the Fawn Farsia, piloted by Fram Nara to lure the Gundams along with the Diva into the cannon's firing range, as destroying the Gundams and the battleship would decide the battle. The Federation quickly deduced that the Digmazenon Cannon would fire again due to the change of La Gramis' shape, thus Flit ordered the crew of the Diva to abandon ship. Fram is eventually mortally wounded by the Genoace O-Custom piloted by Obright Lorain. Zeheart ordered the firing of the Digmazenon Cannon soon after all the Gundams got into the firing range of the cannon. The blast destroyed four Federation warships, along with the Diva, and an unknown number of Federation MS. The blast also destroyed a number of the Vagan Fleet, including Zanald Beihart's forces. Although Fram, with the aid of Leil Light, had successfully lured the Gundams and the Diva into the firing range of the cannon, the Gundams escaped the blast due to the Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound's "Hyper Boost".[3]
After the failure of destroying the three Gundams with the Digmazenon Cannon, Zeheart deployed in the Gundam Legilis and attempted to destroy the Gundams himself. He is shortly killed in battle by Asemu Asuno.[3]
After major losses and the death of Zeheart, La Gramis commander Falk Ocramud decides to send out the Vagan's trump card, the Vagan Gear, piloted by Zera Gins. After launching, Zera rips through the Federation Forces and engages the three Gundams in combat. Shortly after, Zera is pushed back by the combined might of the Gundam AGE-FX, Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound, and Gundam AGE-1 Glansa. As the three Gundams pushed Zera back, a repaired Sid abruptly entered the battlefield and combined with the Vagan Gear. The merged "Vagan Gear Sid" retreated and started to run amok. The Vagan Gear Sid started attacking both Federation and Vagan alike due to Zera's mental instability. Furthermore, the Vagan Gear Sid started attacking La Gramis, which started a chain explosion of La Gramis. Eventually, the Vagan Gear Sid's rampage led to the unlikely alliance of both the Earth Federation and Vagan. Both armies worked together to detach La Gramis' connecting rods. Ultimately, the battle ended when the Gundam AGE-FX destroyed the Vagan Gear Sid and La Gramis with the support of both Federation and Vagan MS.[4]
