The Amalthea-class is a battleship that appears in the anime series Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

Much like the Callisto-class cruiser, the Amalthea-class battleship uses a symmetrical design with the bridge and catapult both on top and below. This structure takes into consideration of the needs required by zero-gravity space warfare, which results in the the same number of turrets and catapults being installed on the upper hull and underneath the ship, a stark departure from conventional ships manufactured in the Earth sphere.

As a battleship, the Amalthea is however more heavily armed than the Callisto, with a total number of four double barrel mega particle cannons disseminated across its hull.

One of the rare features present in the ship is a set of gravity blocks, installed in part of the ship's hull, and which enables the generation of artificial gravity for the crew's comfort.

Armaments[]

  • 2-barrel Main Gun

The Amalthea-class is equipped with four 2-barrel mega particle cannons. These cannons are located on the lateral sides of the ship, in front of sub-bridges and over the lateral catapults, and over the main and bottom main-bridges. They are the same weapon used by the Callisto-class

  • Multi-Launcher

The Amalthea is equipped with eight missile launchers which are used to launch anti-mobile suit and anti-ship missiles. Each of these missiles can also fire five smaller missiles to create a more effective fire barrage and stop the advance of enemy mobile suits.

  • Anti-air turrets

History[]

The Amalthea-class was one of the heaviest ships employed by the Zanscare Empire, and was directly based on the Callisto-class, while incorportating the latest naval technology available to Zanscare. Forming the core of the Zanscare Imperial Navy, the Amalthea usually served as the flasghip of fleets composed of Sinope-class and Callisto-class.
