Junior Mobile Suit
Worker mobile suit mass produced by Anaheim Electronics for the Earth Federation.
The Junior Mobile Suit was a worker mobile suit mass produced by Anaheim Electronics for civilian use.
History
Anaheim Electronics developed the Junior Mobile Suit for construction and industrial work in Earth Federation territories. Due to its reliability and practicality, it saw widespread adoption in civilian operations.
Notable deployments included one unit piloted by Anti-Earth Union Group sponsor Wong Lee on the Moon in UC 0087. Another unit operated at the Federation’s Torrington Base in Australia in UC 0096.
Design
Anaheim Electronics designed the Junior Mobile Suit to be smaller than military mobile suits to better suit its civilian role. Its most distinctive feature was an open cockpit in the torso that provided the pilot with direct visual contact with the work environment, eliminating the need for camera systems typically used in military mobile suits.
The reduced height compared to military units positioned the cockpit closer to ground level, allowing precise control during construction and maintenance tasks. While it could equip basic weapons for self-defence, the lack of advanced targeting systems and sensors limited its combat effectiveness.
Armaments
The Junior Mobile Suit could equip a hyper beam gun for defensive purposes, though its combat capabilities were limited by basic sensors and lack of targeting systems.
Hyper beam gun
The hyper beam gun was a compact beam weapon scaled down for use by the Junior Mobile Suit. While it used the same energy capacitor (E-cap) technology as military beam weapons, its smaller size resulted in significantly reduced power output.
The weapon drew its rounds from E-caps containing charged Minovsky particles. Though Minovsky particles could break down matter at a molecular level, the gun’s reduced size limited its effectiveness compared to military-grade beam weapons.
