The EMS-TC04 Desphys is a mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost manga. It is piloted by Jack Friday.


Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The EMS-TC04 Desphys is an advanced Jovian mobile suit built on the concept of Thoucus, or Thousand Custom, which is a philosophy of "one defeating one thousand". The Desphys' specialty is close quarters combat.

Of special note is that the head unit of the Desphys features a "mask" that protects the optical equipment and a heat radiation vent similar to the F91 Gundam F91 and F97 Gundam F97. As with most mobile suits that specialize in melee combat, the Desphys is designed for maximum range of movement in its arms and legs and features a high level of agility.

In place of manipulator hands, the Desphys features weapons known as "beam fangs", with three on each hand. The beam fangs consist of a rotary device in which three beam emitters are set at equidistant lengths from each other. The beam fangs can be used as standard beam sabers or the rotary mechanism in the arm can be activated, allowing the fangs to serve as a beam rotor similar to one used by Zanscare Empire. To balance its armaments, the Desphys features a beam gun at the end of each arm, in the center of the rotary mechanism.

One weakness the Desphys has is that there are flaws in the computer system's ability to determine the capabilities of "unknown" machines. For instance because the designers never anticipated the Desphys facing a 70-year old MS-06F Zaku II, the targeting computer determines its size to be 15 meters tall, the same as modern mobile suits. Thus, the Desphys' pilot will have trouble striking the Zaku because the targeting computer is is displaying the Zaku as closer then it actually is.

Armaments[]

  • Beam Fang
A set of three beam sabers mount on each of Desphys' hands in claw-like fashion. The fangs can be used as typical beam saber or used in conjunction with the spinning mechanic in Desphys' arms to function as beam rotors in water or as a beam shield. While underwater, the beam fangs can rotate to function as propulsions.
  • Beam Gun
Each of Dephys' hands are equipped with a beam gun for ranged combat.

System Features[]

  • Heat Radiation Face Open

History[]

The Desphys is a unit built in the early U.C. 0150s as part of the "Thoucus" mobile suit squad. As a Thoucus mobile suit, the Desphys is one of seven "Thousand Custom" machines designed to fight a high number of enemy mobile suits on its own.

In U.C. 0153, the Desphys was deployed to the Side 3 colony cluster to retrieve the data of Angel Call on a request from the Zanscare Empire.
