1/100 GN-005 Gundam Virtue

The GN-005 Virtue boasts sufficient firepower to annihilate numerically superior forces independently. As close-quarters combat capability is sacrificed for specialization in the use of mid-range assault weaponry, the unit's armor volume is double the standard by necessity. A spherical GN particle barrier is generable for further reinforcement of defense and miscellaneous other applications if all four condensers within the black compartments of the armor are present, undamaged, and not otherwise in use. Though incapable of deflecting solid projectiles at a melee range, the barrier feature is comparable to the beam shield technology seen in Universal Century. GN particles are additionally utilized in an unspecified weight-reduction process that auguments unit mobility, preserved during shutdown for ease of transportation with constant generator activity. The characteristic bulky armor of the Virtue is in fact detachable, and is typically secured with under-surface belts. It may be purged for use of the unit's alternate high-mobility mode, GN-004 Nadleeh. Purged parts are launchable as obstructive weapons, but the damage that results is insignificant to units of similar armor class to the Space-Use Tieren. The name Virtue is derived from the Christian angelic hierarchy. GN Bazooka The single most destructive beam-based armament currently employed by the Gundam Meister team. The double grips are removable from their rotatable docks and may function as wireless controllers. An additional grip dock beneath the weapon body may be used when resting the back end on the mobile suit's shoulder as per standard firing position. Grip position may be otherwise altered as the situation requires. Recharge and cooling requirements prevent immediate repeat fire. For variation to the weapon's higher-output Burst Mode, the barrel core extends, and the rear feed is secured to the openable chestplate aperture of the Virtue's GN Drive cavity. The Burst Mode's first shot may be fired without prolonged charging. The Burst Mode after firing requires a minimum of 360 seconds to recharge. Maximum output with support fire from the GN Cannons permits the single-blast elimination of targets up to the size of a battleship. GN Cannon Two freely rotatable cannon turrets mounted on the back casing of the GN Drive, simultaneously fireable to the GN Bazooka in Burst Mode. The flexibility of these weapons allows for ranged targeting in multiple directions. If unnecessary for use in an offensive capacity, the GN particle condensers that implement the cannons' beam discharge may be exposed from their armor to permit barrier generation. Handheld operation of the cannons is possible in Virtue's alternate light-weight mode, Nadleeh. GN Beam Saber Two blades normally docked behind the unit's armored shin panels, for use in melee combat should the need arise. Though flagged as non-primary equipment, the weapons' performance is in fact superior to that of Carbon Blades and Sonic Blades. The uncovered high-mobility mode of the GN-005 Virtue. The hair-like connector cords that project from the Nadleeh's head are in Virtue mode used to mediate the operation of the systems within the armor plating. Based on production designation, it may be hypothesized that the GNY-004 Plutone was a prototype to the Nadleeh. The name "Nadleeh" is a term interchangeable with "Two-spirit," used by the Navajo tribes to denote a male spirit and a female spirit living in the same body. This meaning is supported by Nadleeh's slightly feminine appearance, as opposed to Virtue's decidedly masculine appearance. Tieria was forced to purge the Virtue armor to reveal Nadleeh to save himself when the Human Reform League attempted to capture his suit. GN Cannon The 2 shoulder mounted dual barrel cannons are now handheld cannons for the Nadleeh. The GN particle condensers that implement the cannons' beam discharge may if unnecessary for use in an offensive capacity be exposed from their armor for miscellaneous use. Mounted above the shoulders on the back casing of the GN Drive in the unit's heavy-armor Virtue mode.
