The YMF-X000A/H Dreadnought H (pronounced as 'Dreadnought Eta') is a Mobile Suit introduced in the manga Gundam SEED Destiny Astray. It is piloted by Canard Pars.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Dreadnought H is a modified version of the YMF-X000A Dreadnought Gundam that incorporated elements of Canard Pars' CAT1-X1/3 Hyperion Gundam Unit 1. The original Dreadnought's DRAGOON system is removed as Canard cannot use it, and the only weaponry retained are the four head-mounted MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS. The new backpack parts in place of the DRAGOON system is known as the 'Eta Unit', and this is the reason for the suit's new name (the "H" is Greek alphabet "Eta", and it also refers to the backpack's shape). The 'Eta Unit' has pairs of "Igelstellung II" CIWS, grenade launchers and beam cannons which can also function as large beam sabers.

Depending on the configuration of the weapons on the backpack, Dreadnought H can assume a long range attack form, the Buster mode, or a close combat form, Sword mode. For defense, the Dreadnought H has two "Armure Lumiere Handy" monophase lightwave shield, a modified version of the monophase lightwave shield used by the Hyperion. Another weapon retained from the Hyperion is the RFW-99 "Zastava Stigmate" beam submachine gun with a mounted RBW Type 7001 "Romteknica" beam knife on it. Both the "Armure Lumiere Handy" and the "Zastava Stigmate" beam submachine gun are connected by power cable to the suit's reactor.

Armaments[]

  • MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS
Mounted in the head, the four MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS guns have a high rate of fire but low firepower. They are mainly used to shoot down incoming missiles and enemy units at close range.
  • Beam Cannon/Saber
A pair of beam cannons on the back-mounted 'Eta Unit', they can also function as large beam sabers. In Buster mode, the cannons are deployed over the top of the shoulders. In Sword mode, the cannons function as large beam sabers and are deployed under the arms so that the mobile suit's hands can grab the handles. The different modes are achieved through the rotation of the 'Eta Unit'.
  • "Igelstellung II" 40mm CIWS
A pair of CIWS on the back-mounted 'Eta Unit', they are smaller in caliber compared to the head-mounted one, but have higher amount of ammunition. In Buster mode, they are moved to the bottom of the backpack while in Sword mode, they are positioned at the top and over the shoulders where they serve as mid-range weaponry.
  • Grenade Launcher
Mounted below the "Igelstellung II" CIWS, each launcher is loaded with two grenades. Like the "Igelstellung II" 40mm CIWS, the pair of grenade launchers serve as mid-range weaponry during Sword mode.
  • RFW-99 "Zastava Stigmate" Beam Submachine Gun
A modified version of Hyperion's beam submachine gun, this handheld firearm is hooked up to the Dreadnought H's nuclear reactor by a cable. This allows the gun an unlimited amount of shots due to the unlimited power source. The gun also mounts a RBW Type 7001 "Romteknica" beam knife below the sensor, allowing the suit to engage in close combat quickly without changing weapons. The beam knife can also be ejected to hit incoming enemy unit.
A pair of lightwave shield emitters stored on the hips and mounted on the forearms when in use. They are derived from a similar system on the Hyperion Gundam and each emitter can generate a triangular beam shield. The beam emitted can also take on other shapes and be used as an offensive weapon capable of penetrating other lightwave shield, positron reflector and possibly beam shield. When used offensive, the emitter can be handheld. Weapons with anti-beam properties has also been known to be able to penetrate the lightwave shield. Like the beam submachine gun, the emitters are hooked up to the nuclear reactor by power cables and thus can be operated for an infinite amount of time.

Special Equipment & Features[]

Inherited from Dreadnought Gundam, the Neutron Jammer Canceller (NJC) counters the effects of the ubiquitous Neutron Jammers and allows Dreadnought H to be powered by nuclear reactors. This gives it almost limitless combat endurance, even with Phase Shift armor activated. Like Dreadnought, the NJC is located in the head.
Dreadnought H is equipped with the same Phase Shift armor as the original Dreadnought.
  • Operating System
The Dreadnought H uses the Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module Complex operating system.

History[]

Following Prayer's death due to flaws in the cloning process which created him, his Dreadnought Gundam was rebuilt by Junk Guild member Lowe Guele into the Dreadnought H. The Dreadnought H then served as Canard's personal suit and the only mobile suit in the mercenary unit he formed with the crew of the Agamemnon-class carrier Ortygia, Mercenary Unit X. After the First Alliance-PLANT War, Canard use the suit to help defend GENESIS Alpha from ZAFT troops, as Lowe intended to use it to get to Mars. When the Earth Alliance attacked GENESIS Alpha in C.E. 73, Canard again arrived with his Dreadnought H to help defend the weapon.
