Description
Technical and Historical Notes
The Kwalen is a second generation MS designed by Xebac and developed secretly in cooperation with Feinsilver Industries. During the first month of service it was known as “guardian of the Yinglong”, because the ship didn’t carry anymore MS at that time. It is a long range support unit and it excels in that, but not ask the Kwalen to attack in the front. It has a heat knife for desperate defense against close attacks, but its arms aren’t designed for close combat maneuvers, suffering stress due to joint friction. It carries a powerful laser rifle, which has an exact accuracy thanks to its laser properties. The sniper laser rifle never misses, because there isn’t delay time between fire and impact. This doesn’t mean however that each shot is a kill, because it takes 3 seconds of mantained fire to pierce through enemy armor. Since enemies move a lot, the Kwalen doesn’t destroy every target, but unaware targets are likely to be shot down. This laser equipment drains a lot of energy, and the Kwalen had to return to the Yinglong for a refuel after 3 or 4 shots. It didn’t pass too much time since the Yinlong crew noticed that it needed a secondary weapon to use when the laser rifle drained all the energy from the generator. They came with a vey simple solution, a submachinegun. The Kwalen proved to be a quite succesful suit, and it inspired a number of other long range mobile suits, such as the Kwalen artillery type and the Kwalen II.
