ZGMF-2000G2 GOUF Galactica

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The ZGMF-2000G2 GOUF Galactica is a custom variant of ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A custom GOUF Ignited piloted by the mercenary, Mr. Knight. Additional armor plates are added to areas that have a high probability of being hit during battle, which also gives the mobile suit its medieval knight-like appearance as per Mr. Knight's preference. The GOUF Galactica retains most of the original armaments of the GOUF Ignited with the exception of the MMI-558 "Tempest" Beam Sword, which has been replaced by a physical double-edged sword and a modified Caletvwlch. Finally, the GOUF Galactica's wings can emit a pair of beam mantles, but it is unknown if they serve any purpose in combat.

Armaments

• MA-M757 "Slayer Whip" Heat Rod

One "Slayer Whip" Heat Rod is stored in each of the GOUF Galactica's forearm. These rods can be used to whip a target and at the same time deliver an electric charge, causing great pain to the pilot. When the charge is delivered while the heat rod is wrapped around an object, the shock can cause the object to explode. The rod can heat up via high-frequency vibration to such a degree that it can slice lightly armored suits in half.

• M181SE "Draupnir" 4-barrel Beam Gun

While the GOUF Galactica possesses the same "Draupnir" 4-barrel Beam Gun like the GOUF Ignited, it reduces the number of guns from two on each forearm to just one on the left forearm. Although the weapon has a short firing range, it can fire a dense barrage of beams that can damage or even destroy a battleship.

• Sword

Instead of the Gouf Ignited's MMI-558 "Tempest" Beam Sword, the GOUF Galactica wields a single-handed double-edged sword as its melee weapon. The weapon relies on relies on both its weight and the force of the attack to crush armor as much as the blade's inherent sharpness to cut.

• Shield

The GOUF Galactica carries a customized version of the original GOUF Ignited's anti-beam coated shield, which does not stores a "Tempest" Beam Sword and can incorporates parts of the Caletvwlch.

• Shield Spike & Beam Spike

The GOUF Galactica's shield can be equipped with parts from the Caletvwlch at the bottom. Depending on the parts added, they not only grant the shield two physical spikes but also two beam spikes.

• Caletvwlch

A customizable multipurpose equipment created by Lowe Guele and mass produced by Junk Guild. It is meant for cutting and induction welding, but can be used for combat if the limiter is disabled via a voice command. Powered by an internal battery, the Caletvwlch normally consists of two blades (a short 'Build Cutter' and a long 'Build Knife') and a welding torch known as 'Build Torch'. During combat, it can function as a gun (aka G mode, where the Build Torch functions as a beam rifle) or can be reconfigured into a sword (aka S mode).

The GOUF Galactica's Caletvwlch have been modified with two spikes and the ability to emit two beam spikes. These parts can be transferred onto the shield, granting it offensive capabilities. Furthermore, by switching and adding new components, the sword-like weapon can become a lance capable of generating a beam blade at the tip.

History

The mercenary piloting the GOUF Galactica, Mr. Knight, was hired by a village to be its protector. One night, the GOUF Galactica launched in response to an unidentified mobile suit closing in on the village. The approaching mobile suit was the GAT-X131B Blau Calamity Gundam on its way to its testing ground, but the GOUF Galactica's pilot was unaware of this and immediately treated it as a hostile unit. Despite getting into close combat range, the GOUF Galactica was still bested by the Blau Calamity due to the latter's overwhelming firepower.
