Mobile Suit Concepts

Gemini Gundam: Developed as an answer to the devastating Pavise Gundam, these twin Mobile Suits are capable of exchanging parts. Gundam Castor specializes in ground combat, and tends to use energy-based weaponry, while Gundam Pollux specializes in aerial battles while using ballistic weaponry. They may seem very bulky at first, but the additional parts, referred to as Cross Parts, contain additional energy and ammunition reserves. Additionally, the Gemini Gundams are capable of using each other's weaponry. However, proper use of the Gemini Gundams requires a strong bond between both pilots.
FMS20-011a Gundam Castor
 - Height: 17.86 meters
 - Weight: 45.21 metric tons
Weaponry:
 - 60mm Vulcans: As is typical for mobile suits, the Gundam Castor has four head-mounted vulcan guns used to impede enemy movement and close-range defense.
 - Beam Rifle: A standard-issue beam rifle, it derives energy from a Cross Part located on the arms, and are stored on the backpack.
 - Beam Sabers: A pair of basic energy-emitting swords, along with their recharging racks, are located on the skirts of the Mobile Suit. These can be detached as a Cross Part.
 - HOLO Cannon (Heavy Optics Long-range Operation Cannon): A secondary weapon to the beam rifle, the HOLO Cannon, as its name implies is a heavy two-handed beam cannon designed for long-range battles. This weapon, unlike the beam rifle drains from the Mobile Suit's primary energy reserves, and is located on the back of Gundam Castor when not in use.
Special Equipment and Features:
 - Cross Parts: These allow the Gundam Castor to exchange various parts, from additional ammunition packs or energy cells, to even limbs, with Gundam Pollux. Cross Parts can also be dropped off from a battleship to be picked up.
 - Grounded Combat "Skates": A pair of wheels and thrusters are attached onto the heels of the Gundam Castor, allowing smoother movement on the ground. These are also Cross Parts.

FMS20-011b Gundam Pollux
 - Height: 17.82 meters
 - Weight: 44.86 metric tons
Weaponry:
 - 60mm Vulcans: Four head-mounted vulcans intended for slowing down advancing mobile suits and destroying incoming missiles.
 - Bayonet Knuckles: The three blades on the knuckles of both hands are capable of tearing through most MS armor, though are rarely used by the Pollux's pilot. These can be detached as Cross Parts.
 - 76mm Assault Rifle: A magazine-fed rapid-firing rifle. Additional magazines are located on Cross Part ammunition reserves.
 - 190mm Anti-Air Shotgun: A shotgun designed to take out aerial units, it does not easily tear through thick armor.
 - HERO Launcher (HypEr RecOil Launcher): Easily the most powerful weapon of the Pollux's arsenal, the HERO Launcher can fire a 380mm missile capable of blasting through a Basilisk-class warship's armor, but has immense recoil, and will stop the Pollux's momentum if it is fired in the opposite direction of its flight, or send it flying if it is fired in the same direction. Only two more missiles are stored in Cross Parts, so firing of this weapon should be taken seriously.
Special Equipment and Features:
 - Cross Parts: With these, Gundam Pollux can exchange certain parts with Gundam Castor, ranging from energy cells, ammunition reserves, or even heads. Additional Cross Parts can be dropped by a battleship for mid-battle attachment.
 - ASTERISK (AeroSpace TERraIn Support pacK): Located on the back of Gundam Pollux, the ASTERISK allows stable flight for extended periods of time.

Pavise Gundam: A Mobile Suit designed to engage in direct combat, able to withstand various weaponry with its Double Shield System. By changing between two different modes, the Pavise Gundam can resist beam weaponry, or resist ballistic weaponry. However, the shielding systems require some time to reactivate and switch, necessitating a pilot to have good foresight on what the enemy will use next.
Originally, the Pavise Gundam could protect from both types of weaponry at once, but the system proved to be too impractical, since it overheated too often. As such, the system was split into two individual modes.
CMS24-008L Pavise Gundam (Colony Mobile Suit produced on Year 3024, 8th Suit Series Last)
 - Height: 21.25 meters
 - Weight: 56.79 metric tons
Special Equipment and Features:
 - Double Shield System: The Pavise Gundam is capable of generating an energy absorption field, or grant its armor resistance to armaments such as the Automatic Rapid-Firing Rifles and Armor Cutters of the FMS20-002MP Mercury, or the Hammer Arms of Jeanne's FMS20-009 Hephaestus. However, changing between these two modes takes time, and the shielding requires 3 seconds to re-calibrate itself afterwards.
 - Pavise Bits: Four shieldlike Bits, these are attached onto the Pavise Gundam's hardpoints located on its back when it is deployed for space battles. They function primarily as additional defensive measures, due to the additional dimension in space. Two are treated with beam coating, while the other two have a capability much like the Double Shield System's Anti-Ballistic mode. In emergencies, they also have vulcan pods.
