Military Limousine
Military limousine used by the Earth Federation Forces for transporting personnel.
The Military Limousine was a limousine used by the Earth Federation Forces for transporting personnel in UC 0105. The vehicle provided comfortable and secure transportation for military officers and important personnel.
History
The Military Limousine was in service with the Earth Federation Forces during the early UC 100s as part of the military’s transport fleet. These vehicles were used to transport high-ranking officers and important personnel in comfort and style, reflecting the Federation’s emphasis on maintaining proper protocol and hierarchy.
In April UC 0105, a Military Limousine was used to transport Hathaway Noa from Kenneth Sleg’s base to the ferry terminal after his interrogation and release. This demonstrated the vehicle’s use for transporting civilians who had been in Federation custody, as well as regular military personnel.
The use of a military limousine for such transportation duties reflected the Federation’s protocol-conscious nature and its desire to maintain proper appearances, even when dealing with potentially sensitive situations involving civilians.
Design
The Military Limousine was designed as a comfortable passenger vehicle capable of transporting multiple occupants. While specific technical details remain unknown, the vehicle’s limousine configuration suggested it was designed for comfort and prestige rather than combat operations.
The vehicle featured a driver’s compartment and an extended passenger area typical of limousine designs. This configuration allowed for secure and comfortable transport of important personnel whilst maintaining appropriate separation between the driver and passengers.
The Military Limousine’s design prioritised passenger comfort and security over speed or manoeuvrability, making it suitable for transportation duties in secure areas or along established routes.
Equipment
The Military Limousine lacked fixed armaments, relying instead on escort vehicles and security personnel for protection during operations. Its primary function was transportation rather than combat, with any defensive capabilities likely provided by accompanying forces rather than the vehicle itself.
The vehicle’s equipment focused on passenger comfort and communication capabilities appropriate for a military transport vehicle. Specific details about communication systems or defensive measures remain unknown.
Operational use
The Military Limousine was used for transporting various categories of personnel, including military officers, important civilians, and individuals released from Federation custody. The vehicle’s comfort and prestige made it appropriate for situations requiring a show of proper military protocol.
During Hathaway’s transport to the ferry terminal, the use of a military limousine rather than a standard military vehicle demonstrated the Federation’s attention to proper procedures and its desire to maintain civilian relations, at least on the surface.
The vehicle represented the Federation’s continued emphasis on maintaining appearances and protocol, even as the organisation became increasingly corrupt and oppressive in its policies.
Behind the scenes
The Military Limousine was designed by Katoki Hajime, Yamane Kimitoshi, Nobuhiko Genba, and Seiichi Nakatani for the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway film adaptation.
