MS-18NF Titania (MS-18NF ティターニア?) is a close combat mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy. It is piloted by Alma Stirner.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Upon reviewing the newly received frame of the MS-18E Kämpfer, Noisy Fairy determined its design to be too dedicated to damaging hit and run maneuvers. In order to make the mobile suit last and be more suitable for the fireteams leader more armor was added. This armor was made largely from scratch or pre-existing armor in Noisy Fairy’s possession. To compensate for this increase in weight, additional thruster tanks were added. The thrusters on the suits back emit a blue flame, comparable in shape to a fairies wings.
Armaments[]
- 60mm Vulcan Gun
- An uncommon feature on Zeon MS, the Kämpfer has two Vulcan Guns in the head similar to Federation's mobile suits. These shell firing weapons have high rate of fire but little power, and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, attack vehicles, etc.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. This equipment was developed from the engagement data with RX-78-2 Gundam. The Titania has two beam sabers, one stored on each side skirt.
- ZUX-197 Jagdgewehr 192mm Shotgun
- Specifically designed for assault-type MS, this weapon is of the same type as the one used by the MS-08TX Efreet. It has a 9-round capacity with known ammunition including slugshot, luna titanium 00 buckshot, and MS-use birdshot (BB shot). It can be loaded via pump-action, or automatically by an electric mechanism. Unlike the Kampfer, Titania only wields one of these, and it is stored on the back while not in use. In game, shotguns are able to stun enemies no matter their resistances due to the shotgun delivering stun via multiple projectiles at one time.
- 360mm Giant Bazooka
- The same MS-use bazooka as used by the Dom,. It fires rocket propelled 360mm physical rounds. It is fed by a 10 round magazine, found near the back, and a single round can blow the torso off an enemy mobile suit. Unlike the Kampfer, Titania can only wield one bazooka at a time.
- 360mm Giant Bazooka II
- A redesigned version of Dom series' 360mm Giant Bazooka, with improved shape charges and firepower. Fed by a 5-round magazine, it is effective in both anti-ship and anti-MS combat, with a single round blowing off a MS' torso easily. The Kämpfer can be equipped with two Bazookas, and they are stored on its back when not in use. (The Titania is only able to use this weapon in Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2. In Mobile Suit Gundam Code Fairy, it does not appear).
- A simplified, disposable rocket launcher. It is commonly used by Zeon mobile suits in the late stages of the One Year War. As the warhead is not equipped with a guidance device, it is extremely hard to use the Sturm Faust to hit a moving target accurately. However, it is still a highly destructive portable weapon. Two Sturm Fausts could be stored on hardpoints on the hips of the Titania. In game, the two strum Faust’s are hand held and launched simultaneously.
- Arm Mounted Mini Gun
- A mini Gatling gun found within the left arm of the Titania. Similar in construction to the one found on the MS-08TX/N Efreet Nacht, but functionally similar to the one found on the RX-78NT-1 Gundam “Alex”. It has an extremely high rate of fire and carries 30 rounds.
- Beam Machine Gun
- A beam weapon prepared for Titania during the final hours of the One Year War, just in time for Zeon's final stand at Cape Canaveral.

Trivia[]
- Despite the appearance of what look to be Vulcans on the Mobile Suit's head, they are unusable in Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy and are without mention in game data. These are usable however in Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2.
- This unit also shares the same name as the PMX-004 Titania from one of Paptimus Scirocco's Mobile Suit projects.
