Combat and Technological Informations

Since the Mistral is designed mainly for working operations, it doesn't carry any weaponry. If needed however, it can be equipped with two 40mm vulcan cannons for colony defense work but is horribly outclassed by any Mobile Suit or Mobile Armor. Their maneuverability is minimal; their thrusters are designed for precision movements rather than hard combat maneuvers.

To perform its intended duty as a working pod, the Mistral is equipped with four telescoping arms, which, if needed, can be detached from the main body and maneuver independently.

The Kimera is largly similar to the Mistral in terms of outward appearance, but since nearly every Kimera is a unique unit, each features different equipment and features. For example, the Kimera piloted by Kisato Yamabuki is equipped with a large scoop-style shovel, while that of Lowe Guele mounts mobile suit-style arms, one with a conventional hand and the other with a heavy drill bit.
