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.
