This article is in need of detailed weapons descriptions.

The PMX-001 Palace Athene is a custom mobile suit created by Paptimus Scirocco. The unit is featured in the series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. The mobile suit was piloted by AEUG defector Reccoa Londe.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The second mobile suit built by Paptimus Scirocco aboard the Jupitris during the Gryps Conflict, the Palace Athene was a mobile suit built for offense. Though normally armed with four beam cannons in its torso and claws on its feet, it could also be outfitted with a heavy 2-barrel beam rifle, eight battleship-grade long-range missiles, and a shield mounting several small missile launchers. Although equipping the extra equipment gave the Palace Athene the firepower equivalent of a large mobile armor or space battleship, its bulk and size did cause it to suffer a lack of good speed and maneuverability.

Armaments

  • Mega Beam Gun/Beam Saber
  • Scattering Beam Gun
  • Movable Shield
  • 8 x Large Missile
  • 2-barrel Beam Gun
  • Grenade Launcher

History

Just like many of Scirocco's mobile suits, only one Palace Athene was built, and it was assigned to former AEUG pilot-turned-Scirocco supporter Reccoa Londe, who piloted it from the Battle of the Gate of Zedan to the unit's destruction at the Battle of Gryps.

Notes & Trivia

  • In Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, it is very powerful against numerous enemies, due to it's overwhelming firepower.
