================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Gundam was incredibly advanced for its time. Built from lightweight Luna Titanium Alloy,
    its frame was both lighter than that of Zeon's mass-produced mobile suits and much sturdier,
    able to shrug off a MS-06 Zaku II's machine gun fire with little to no damage. Its offensive
    power was above and beyond that of the Zakus. The Gundam would engage in most battles with
    its beam rifle, making it the first mobile suit to have firepower equivalent to a
    battleship's beam cannons. In addition, it made use of two beam sabers, blades of extremely
    hot plasma which could cut through any metal with ease. Those beam sabers could be extended
    into a spear-like beam javelin, which could be used to stab into an enemy from a longer
    distance.
