Technical
and Historical Notes
The pinnacle
of Zeon Newtype-use mobile weapon technology at its time, the
NZ-000 Queen Mansa was considered one of the most powerful mobile
weapons ever constructed. Designed and constructed by Neo Zeon's
Glemy Toto faction during the First Neo Zeon War, the Quin
Mantha combined the best features of the successful Qubeley
series and the Titans' MRX-010 Psyco
Gundam Mark II into one design. This massive mobile suit
was armed with wide variety of beam weapons, and carried 30
psycommu-controlled funnels in a large tail binder. The massive
binders on its shoulders housed a variant of the I-field barrier
concept called a "mega particle deflection system", which not
only absorbed or deflecting incoming beam weapons fire like
a standard I-field, but could also redirect that beam fire back
at the foe that fired it. Like the AMX-004-3
Qubeley Mark II, the Queen Mansa could be controlled externally
via a psycommu controller headseat worn by the pilot, and like
the Psyco Gundam Mark II (and
even the old Principality of Zeon's MSN-02
Zeong), the Queen Mansa's head could detach and operate
independently if the main body were to become heavily damaged
and destroyed. Only one Queen Mansa unit was built, operated
by Glemy's young pet Newtype soldier Ple Two, and it was fielded
against Neo Zeon leader Haman Karn's loyalist forces during
Glemy's insurrection in January UC 0089. However, the Quin
Mantha - along with Glemy Toto and Ple Two - were soon destroyed
inside the asteroid base Axis by the AEUG's "Gundam Team."
