The STH-14/T2C Kallisto is a mobile suit introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Gekko.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Kallisto is a customized STH-14s Hyakuri owned by Gianmarco Salerno. The Hyakuri's large backpack has been omitted and replaced by a large, stabilizer-shaped thruster, causing the Kallisto's silhouette to be closer to a human being's. The combination of this back-mounted thruster with the new shoulder-mounted large thrusters granted the mobile suit high mobility. Although its head armor is vastly different from the original, the Kallisto still has the same type of head sensor as Hyakuri. This mobile suit's most distinctive feature is the Variable Blade Shields mounted on its forearms that are used for close combat. These weapons are originally a part of the ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth Origin's shoulder armor, and are difficult to reproduce with current technology. With the Variable Blade Shields in mind, the Kallisto has been adjusted for high-speed and flexible combat.

Armaments

• Variable Blade Shield

Obtained by Gianmarco Salerno, they are originally a part of the ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth Origin's shoulder armor. But due to their overwhelming toughness, they are equipped onto Kallisto's forearms as the Variable Blade Shields and used for close combat. They are difficult to reproduce with current technology.

• JEE-103 Quadruple Rocket Launcher

An optional weapon, it is a relatively light weight rocket launcher. Depending on the objective, the rocket launcher can be loaded with different warheads such as explosive shell, smoke shell, napalm shell, etc.

History

The Kallisto was deployed to capture Liarina Morugaton from the Under 3 colony, but was defeated by Argi Mirage in the ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth, with both its forearms and the attached Variable Blade Shields being ripped off.
