Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 OZ-09MMS Pisces is one of two mass-produced transformable aquatic mobile suits developed by OZ. It is featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Like the OZ-08MMS Cancer, the Pisces can switch between two modes. Its submarine mode is for high speed movements underwater, while its mobile suit mode is more humanoid than the Cancer's with stubby legs. The suit's propellers in submarine mode can be used as claws in its mobile suit mode, and they contain small, extendable manipulators for delicate operations. The Pisces's primary weapons are torpedoes fired from its shoulder-mounted torpedo launchers, which can be used for underwater attacks and to bombard coastal targets after the suit partially surface in mobile suit mode. It can also use depth charges to destroy enemy ships, and has a searchlight on each shoulder for underwater search operations.
Armaments
- Torpedo
- Fired from the shoulder-mounted torpedo launchers, six in each shoulder. These torpedoes are specifically for Pisces, and their large size allows them to sink enemy submarine in a single hit. Also double as surface to surface missiles when the mobile suit come above the surface.
- Depth Charge
- After sneaking up to enemy ship unnoticed, the Pisces can attach multiple depth charges capable of dealing serious damage.
History
The Pisces was used throughout the After Colony year 195 by OZ forces. One of their first known missions was to search for the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam that had been abandoned on the ocean floor but the two Pisces and two Cancers that found the Gundam were ambushed and destroyed by the XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe. Later in the year, the Pisces usually in conjunction with Cancers are used in multiple battles that took place in the ocean, on the surface, or in coastal regions. Two Pisces were used by Lucrezia Noin and Sally Po to prevent OZ from acquiring the Wing Gundam, destroying six Cancers and their submarine carrier while retrieving the Gundam. Pisces mobile suits were last seen when the Romefeller Foundation conquered the Sanc Kingdom.
