The TSX-MA717/ZD Pergrande is a Mobile Armor introduced in the novel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray B.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A large mobile armor developed from the TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero, the Pergrande is essentially made up of three modules: the core unit which contains the nuclear reactor and Neutron Jammer Canceller, the three DRAGOON units mounted at the top and lastly, the three manned units at the bottom which also contains the cockpit for the pilots. Thanks to the nuclear reactor, the Pergrande has an unlimited operation time and is armored with Phase Shift armor for protection against shell firing weapons. The DRAGOON units utilized a unique variant of the DRAGOON system that requires the use of three pilots and can be controlled by those without high spatial awareness. The DRAGOON and manned units can detach and operate independently, but the latter is detached only in emergency situations as doing so would render the DRAGOON system inoperable. Each DRAGOON and manned units are armed with several beam cannons and beam guns.

Armaments[]

  • DRAGOON Unit
The Pergrande is equipped with a total of three wireless, remote-controlled weaponry known as DRAGOON Units. Each unit is armed with two large beam cannons, a single beam cannon, and two beam guns, and it is controlled using a modified DRAGOON system. Unlike the original DRAGOON system, which requires a pilot with high spatial awareness (regardless of being a Coordinator or Natural), this modified DRAGOON system uses three pilots who are synchronized through surgical means to allow those without high spatial awareness to control the system, thus increasing the pool of possible users. This system links the pilots' brainwaves together and each of them controls one of the X, Y, and Z coordinates necessary to utilize the Pergrande's DRAGOON Units. As a result, the system is operable only when the three pilots are linked together to the core unit.
  • Manned Unit
Similar in appearance and armaments to the DRAGOON Units, three of them are mounted at the bottom of the mobile armor and is controlled directly by a pilot each. They are detachable but this would unlink the pilots from each other and render the DRAGOON Units inoperable. As a result, this is only done in emergency situations.

History[]

The Pergrande was a prototype mobile armor created by the Azrael Financial Group (National Industrial Alliance) to protect one of their asteroid factories. In Latin, the Pergrande means "huge", and indeed, this mobile armor was very big and powerful, and its presence meant that no mobile suits and warship could attack the asteroid factory. However, this changed when Serpent Tail was employed to destroy the factory. Gai Murakumo equipped his MBF-P03secondL Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L with a Positron Blaster Cannon and brought his suit into the range of the Pergrande's own N-Jammer Canceller, allowing him to destroy both the mobile armor and factory with a single shot.[1]

Later, the Pergrande was put into limited mass production, with several units being used to guard the space station of Matisse, who was the leader of the shadowy group known as "The Clan". However, all Pergrande units were destroyed by the combined efforts of Serpent Tail and Canard Pars.[2]
