Changes: XM-06 Dahgi Iris

Revision as of 07:33, 31 August 2019

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The XM-06 Dahgi Iris is a commander-use reconnaissance mobile suit from the anime movie Mobile Suit Gundam F91. It was piloted by Crossbone Vanguard's Annamarie Bourget during the Cosmo Babylonia War in U.C. 0123.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The XM-06 Dahgi Iris is used by leaders of the Crossbone Vanguard's reconnaissance teams, and regularly lead a team of XM-03 Ebirhu-S. As it is created for information gathering, multiple cameras and precision sensors, notably the newly developed 'Doppler Radar', are placed throughout its body. Together with its high information processing capabilities, the Dahgi Iris can search an area that would normally take five or six ordinary mobile suits. Instead of the hybrid dual sensors found on the heads of many Crossbone Vanguard's mobile suits, the Dahgi Iris is equipped with head-mounted antennae and forehead sensors that provide it with comparable or even better performance.

The Dahgi Iris shares the same type of reactor as the XM-04 Berga Dalas, but has higher thrust via utilizing its surplus energy. This surplus energy is because the suit uses a solid shield due to concerns that a beam shield's energy emission might interfere with its sensors and electronics. Other armaments of the suit includes a beam rifle, a beam saber and a triple scattering beam cannon in its abdomen. Although a reconnaissance mobile suit, the Dahgi Iris maintains a high level of combat capabilities and can be used for sniping.

Armaments

Triple Scattering Beam Cannon: The Dahgi Iris mounts a high-output triple scattering beam cannon in its abdomen, just below the cockpit. The cannon can fire a powerful, focused particle beam from all three barrels at once, or spread/scatter the beam to disorient or blind the opponents to help the Dahgi Iris escapes. The focused beam is capable of overwhelming a beam shield and destroy the opponent's mobile suit.

Beam Saber: A standard melee weapon that generates a beam of plasma contained by an I-field, it can cut through any armor not specifically treated to resist it. The Dahgi Iris carries a beam saber stored on the rear waist armor.

Beam Rifle: A standard hand carried ranged beam weapon is the beam rifle. Capable of firing concentrated mega particles, attacks from a beam rifle can damage any armor not specially treated to resist it. Among the beam rifles used by Crossbone Vanguard's mobile suits, the one used by the Dahgi Iris is said to have the longest range, and this facilitates the suit's use as a sniper unit.

Shield: The Dahgi Iris is equipped with a conventional shield mounted on the left forearm instead of a beam shield like other Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits, because the beam shield might interfere with the suit's sensitive sensor and electronics.

Special Equipment & Features

Doppler Radar: A newly developed radar, it enables the Dahgi Iris to retain its high precision search capabilities even while moving.

History

In U.C. 0123, the Crossbone Vanguard invaded the Frontier IV colony, and the Dahgi Iris is one of the many mobile suits the organization deployed. A commander-use reconnaissance machine, it was often seen leading teams of Ebirhu-S in recon mission.

One Dahgi Iris pilot, Annamarie Bourget, defected to the Earth Federation Forces midway in the conflict, bringing the suit with her. Her suit was then repainted an off-yellow color so that it could be distinguished by its Federation allies. Annamarie and her Dahgi Iris fought against the Crossbone Vanguard inside the Frontier I colony alongside Seabook Arno and Birgit Pirjo. Though she destroyed several Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits, she was particularly intent on killing Berah Ronah, but her Dahgi Iris was destroyed in combat against Zabine Chereaux's XM-05 Berga Giros.

+==Technology & Combat Characteristics==
-The ''XM-06 Dahgi Iris'' is a mobile suit from the [[Mobile Suit Gundam F91]] movie.
+The XM-06 Dahgi Iris is used by leaders of the [[Crossbone Vanguard]]'s reconnaissance teams, and regularly lead a team of [[XM-03 Ebirhu-S]]. As it is created for information gathering, multiple cameras and precision sensors, notably the newly developed 'Doppler Radar', are placed throughout its body.

This surplus energy is because the suit uses a solid shield due to concerns that a beam shield's energy emission might interfere with its sensors and electronics. Other armaments of the suit includes a beam rifle, a beam saber and a triple scattering beam cannon in its abdomen. Although a reconnaissance mobile suit, the Dahgi Iris maintains a high level of combat capabilities and can be used for sniping.
-==Technology and Combat Characteristics==
-The ''XM-06 Dahgi Iris'' is the second reconnaissance mobile suit developed by the [[Crossbone Vanguard]] and it was developed alongside the smaller [[XM-03 Ebirhu-S]]. However the Ebirhu-S was designed as a "grunt" reconnaissance mobile suit while the Dahgi Iris is a commander model reconnaissance mobile suit and supports the superior performance and firepower associated with such a designation.
-Because its primary purpose is gathering data the Dahgi Iris has highly sensitive sensors placed throughout its body and its combat performance and mobility can't equal its fellow command mobile suits of the Berga series, though it does possess superior speed. Also because of its primary purpose the Dahgi Iris was not equipped with a beam shield as it would interfere with the data gathering sensors, so like the Ebirhu-S it mounts a physical shield.
-Though it is not intended for front-line combat the Dahgi Iris is well equipped for combat with a beam rifle, a pair of beam sabers, and a 3-barrel scattering beam gun mounted in the torso below the cockpit.
 ==Armaments==
-;*3-Barrel Scattering Beam Gun
+;*Triple Scattering Beam Cannon
-:The XM-06 Dahgi Iris mounts a 3-barrel scattering beam gun in its waist armor, just below the cockpit. The weapon fires concentrated mega particles from all three barrels at once, but the weapon has been designed so that mega particles would spread out instead of remaining tightly focused, similar to a beam spray gun. This reduces the overall range, limiting the weapon's use to mid-to-close range combat. However in exchange the increase beam radius does more overall damage and has a greater chance of hitting the target. This weapon has been shown to be highly effective against other mobile suits of the UC 0123 era unless they use a beam shield as a countermeasure.
+:The Dahgi Iris mounts a high-output triple scattering beam cannon in its abdomen, just below the cockpit. The cannon can fire a powerful, focused particle beam from all three barrels at once, or spread/scatter the beam to disorient or blind the opponents to help the Dahgi Iris escapes. The focused beam is capable of overwhelming a beam shield and destroy the opponent's mobile suit.
 ;*Beam Saber
-:A standard melee weapon that generates a beam of plasma contained by an I-field. A highly effective weapon that can melt through any metal armor the only true counter to a beam saber is another beam saber or a beam shield. Because of the nature of the I-field containing the plasma beam sabers can be used (by the very skilled) to block beam rifle attacks, or be shaped into different forms such as a beam ax or beam naginata. When not in use beam sabers are stored in a recharge rack located somewhere on the mobile suit's body, recharging on the energy from the mobile suit's ultracompact nuclear reactor. The Dahgi Iris carries a single beam saber stored in a recharge rack located on the rear waist armor.
+:A standard melee weapon that generates a beam of plasma contained by an I-field, it can cut through any armor not specifically treated to resist it. The Dahgi Iris carries a beam saber stored on the rear waist armor.
 ;*Beam Rifle
-:A standard hand carried ranged beam weapon is the beam rifle. Capable of firing concentrated mega particles, attacks from a beam rifle are can damage any ordinary armor that has not be specially treated to resist it. One of the more effective methods of blocking a beam rifle is to use a beam shield. When the technology became available it became standard for beam rifles to be powered by rechargeable energy caps that can be replaced mid-battle if they run out of power.

 ;*Shield
+:The Dahgi Iris is equipped with a conventional shield mounted on the left forearm instead of a beam shield like other [[Crossbone Vanguard]] mobile suits, because the beam shield might interfere with the suit's sensitive sensor and electronics.
-:Shields are simple in their design, being essentially thick slabs of metal that the equipped mobile suit can use to absorb the impact from attacks that, for whatever reason, cannot be dodged. However shields can only withstand so much pressure before becoming damaged themselves. As technology progressed it became necessary for shields to be treated with an anti-beam coating as a measure of defense against beam weapons which can normally penetrate any physical barrier, however the coating gets gradually burned away each time a beam strikes it until it is rendered useless.

 ==History==
-In the year 123 UC the Crossbone Vanguard invaded the Frontier IV colony, and among the mobile suit forces it deployed were ''XM-06 Dahgi Iris'' command reconnaissance mobile suits. Because of their heavy firepower for a reconnaissance mobile suit the Dahgi Iris were often assigned to lead teams of Ebirhu-S as an escort and to supervise them.
+In U.C. 0123, the Crossbone Vanguard invaded the Frontier IV colony, and the Dahgi Iris is one of the many mobile suits the organization deployed. A commander-use reconnaissance machine, it was often seen leading teams of Ebirhu-S in recon mission.
-One Dahgi Iris pilot, [[Annamarie Bourget]], defected to the [[Earth Federation Forces]] near the end of the war, bringing her Dahgi Iris with her. The mobile suit was then repainted an off-yellow color so that it could be distinguished by its Federation allies. Annamarie Bourget and her Dahgi Iris fought against the Crossbone Vanguard inside the Frontier I colony alongside [[Seabook Arno]] and [[Birgit Pirjo]]. Though she destroyed several Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits she was particularly intent on killing [[Cecily Fairchild|Berah Ronah]] but her Dahgi Iris was destroyed in combat against the elite Black Vanguard.
