Technical and Historical Notes

"Once we're done with the repairs, Sandrock will be able to fight well in outer space." - Howard

Although pilot Quatre Raberba Winner had activated the self-destruct system on his XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock during his escape into space, the ensuing explosion had rendered the mobile suit useless - but its gundanium alloy body was still more or less intact. The Sandrock's remains were confiscated by OZ, but later would be retrieved by members of his Maganac Corps allies and taken to their underground base in the Middle East, where it would be rebuilt and fully restored. After Quatre's return to Earth, he returned to the Maganacs to pilot his Gundam once again. But the military and political strife plaguing the Earth Sphere in AC 195 would reach a decisive conclusion in space, and Quatre returned to space with his Sandrock to join the battle. Aboard the independent battleship Peacemillion, Gundam supporter Howard would upgrade the mobile suit, giving it minor improvements for space combat.

Though the changes made to the Gundam Sandrock Kai were cosmetically minor, they would give the mobile suit the edge it needed to use its abilities against the spacebound forces of White Fang's Virgo II mobile dolls and the mobile suits of the World Nation military. The addition of several vernier thrusters made the Sandrock stable to operate in a zero-gee environment, and the permanent addition of a small beam machinegun gave it more extensive ranged firepower. Over Quatre's protests, Gundam pilot Heero Yuy also temporarily outfitted the Sandrock with a component of the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero's infamous Zero System, allowing Quatre to coordinate the Peacemillion's mobile suit forces in a major assault against White Fang's mobile dolls.

[1]The Head and Hands are small targets , and are difficult to hit.  Therefore, even with a called shot, they are -3 to hit.

[2]Destroying the Head Sensor Unit will disrupt the Gundam Sandrock Kai's ability to receive radio signals and has a 50% chance of destroying the radar and laser tracking systems. This will eliminate the bonuses for Strike and Dodge.

[3]Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will disable the Gundam Sandrock Kai.

Weapon Systems

  1. Head Mounted Vulcans: a staple weapon of even the earliest mobile suits, the Head Vulcans are always fired in linked mode.
    Location: 2 Barrels, One on either side of the head
    Primary Purpose: Assault
    Secondary Purpose: Anti-Missile/Defense
    Range: 4000 ft (1220 m; Double in Space)
    Mega Damage: 6D6 MD per Burst
    Rate of Fire: Equal to the Pilot's Hand to Hand
    Payload: 25 Bursts

  2. Chest Compartment Short Range Missile Launchers(2)
    Location: One Launcher inside a compartment on either side of the chest
    Primary Purpose: Assault
    Secondary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft
    Range: varies with missile type
    Mega Damage: varies with missile type(Typically High Explosive 1D6 x 10)
    Rate of Fire: One at a time or both at once
    Payload: 2 Short range Missiles (1 per launcher)

  3. Heat Shotels (2) : Effectively a giant curved sword, similar to those used in the Arabian penninsula and Eastern Africa.  The Heat Shotels of the Gundam Sandrock (and Sandrock Kai) are made of the same Gundanium Alloy as the Gundam's, and ground to an edge so fine, it has been speculated that it is approaching one molecule in thickness.  This, combined with a system that super-heats the blades, allows them to cut through lesser alloys like a hot knife through butter.
    Location: Sheathed behind the back, when not in use, Hand Held otherwise.
    Primary Purpose: Melee
    Range: Melee
    Mega Damage: 1D4 x 100 MD each
    Attacks / Melee: Equal to the Pilot's hand to hand

  4. Shield Flasher and Cross Crusher systems: The Shield Flasher system are basically 2 blinding flares, designed to blind a mecha's sensors, the Cross Crusher system is used by mounting the two Heat Shotels onto the shield, and then launching it, much like the Beam Scissors Shield of the Gundam Deathscythe.
    MDC: 200
    Location: the left arm, back mounted when not in use.
    Primary Purpose: Defense
    Secondary Purpose: Attack
    Range: 1000 ft (303m; Double in Space)
