Introduction: This machine is a cutting-edge prototype MS of the ZAFT Army that appeared in the final battle, piloted by Lou Kruzer, and the "providence" in the name of the aircraft means "divine will, destiny". From a technical point of view, the Destiny Gundam was the culmination of the previous Gundams, and it was one of the best in MS at the time, both in terms of performance and firepower. In terms of weapons, the biggest feature of this machine is that it is equipped with two types of floating guns that can attack from a long distance and in all directions, and it can also use the MA-M221 beam rifle, the 76mm MMI-GAU2 close defense machine gun, and the MA-MV05A composite armor shield system that contains a large beam saber and beam gun. The Providence Gundam was destroyed by Freedom after a fierce battle with the Strike Gundam and the Freedom Gundam.

Detailed

As is customary, a super-powerful Ultimate MS will eventually appear as the final villain in the war, and the Divine Will Gundam that appeared in SEED this time has done this task very well. Although only 3 words appeared, the power of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves made people instantly leave a very deep image, and the appearance of the divine will is also quite overwhelming kingly angry, and it has a good reputation among SEED fans, as the last commercialized first-line body, it has whetted the appetite of FANS, and it was quickly welcomed as soon as it was launched, and the model and machine design were very successful.

1. Trace back to the source

On February 11, C.E. 70, the Earth Coalition declared war on PLANT (Blue Co**os' admiral ordered a nuclear bomb to be secretly moved into the MA aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt. ), and three days later triggered the "Bloody Valentine's Day Incident" (PLANT annihilated enemy forces with mobile suit troops; However, due to the nuclear bomb attack, one of the 120 colonization satellites, the food production colonization satellite Junius 7, was destroyed, resulting in the death of 243,721 people), he fantasized about using a quick battle to bring PLANT to its knees in an overwhelming manner. However, the combined forces' actions not only did not have the desired effect, but instead stimulated the PLANT's stronger will to resist, and the situation of the war became more serious. In the following months of battles (Operation World Tree, Operation Capantaria, First Yajin Duwei Offensive and Defensive Battle, etc.), the superior performance of the [ZGMF-1017 ジン] "Keane" on the PLANT side in actual combat, and the use of neutrons* (Neutron Jammer), made the large MA powered by the nuclear power of the Earth Force completely ineffective, resulting in the defeat of the joint side in the strategic layer. In order to cope with this aircraft, the "GAT-X" plan (referred to as Plan G) proposed by Al Patton was carefully implemented in the joint aspect of MS research and development technology, and was considered and implemented again, with the intention of developing a high-performance mobile suit that can completely fly the ZGMF-1017 series of aircraft in terms of performance. [History: In C.E69, Colonel Halbarton of the 4th Fleet of the Atlantic Coalition Space Force (later the 8th Fleet of the Combined Earth Forces) saw the usability of the Mobile Suit in space battles and applied to the military command for the development of the codename "G Series", but was denied. However, with the help of some of the councillors, the project was carried out in great secrecy. (Source: MG Edition ZGMF-X10A FREEDOM GUNDAM Manual: Page 1)

On January 23, 71, when the development and even construction of GAT-X was nearing completion, the existence of the Combine's "Project G" was detected by PLANT, and the ZAFT Army immediately sent the Kreuzer team to raid and successfully captured 4 GAT-X series airframes (and at the same time led to the disintegration of the Orb Space colonization satellite Heliopolis). Later, the GAT-X series of data provided by the Integrated Design Bureau shocked the ZAFT military - the practical application of PS armor, small high-output particle weapons, and transmog particles (also known as mirage particles) (these three technologies are not the main technical research areas of PLANT, and the technology is relatively laggy). Due to the disparity in the number of mobile suits, PLANT, which has always been known for its mobile suits, found that it did not have a great advantage; For the development community, it is an even more unforgettable humiliation for the engineers who are COORDINATIOR. The discovery of Project G also provided a reason for the radical Sara faction to convince the Supreme Council, which ordered the Unification Design Bureau to immediately begin the design and development of a new mobile suit. The emergence of the GAT-X series has become the driving force for a new round of the space arms race.

During the development of the new mobile suit, the ZGMF-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type demonstrated extremely high performance, but it also had a fatal problem: the power source. For combat use, these new aircraft were added to a very dangerous technology: the Neutron Jammer Cancelar, which made it possible to completely ignore the presence of neutron jammers scattered around the battlefield and use nuclear fission reactors as a power source. This device, which re-empowers human beings with nuclear power, was developed by Yuri Amarufi, a representative of the Maius City Council and an authority on mechanical engineering. However, as a conservative person, Yuli did not want to make an NJC (neutron interference eliminator) to resurrect nuclear energy, and despite repeated invitations from the Council, he firmly refused. But because of the death of his son Nigaul, he made up his mind not to let the tragedy happen again and joined the radical Sara faction, and made the NJC power problem solved smoothly. C.E71-04, ZGMF-X10A and X09A were first demonstrated...... (Source: MG ZGMF-X10A FREEDOM GUNDAM MANUAL: PAGE 7)

HOWEVER, DUE TO THE THEFT OF FREEDOM (SUPPOSEDLY ARRANGED BY LAX CULLEIN, THE DAUGHTER OF FORMER SPEAKER SJER CULLANEN) AND JUSTICE'S DEFECTION TO AUB (LATER KNOWN AS THE THREE-SHIP ALLIANCE), ZAFT'S ARMY LOST THE WEAPONS TO OPEN THE WAR SITUATION. AFTER THE THEFT OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, THE ZAFT ARMY DID NOT PANIC BECAUSE THEY HAD SECRETLY DEVELOPED A SECRET MECH THAT ALSO USED NUCLEAR ENERGY TO OVERRIDE FREEDOM AND JUSTICE: PROVIDENCE.

(1) Characteristics of the body

PROVIDENCE IS A SUPER ASSAULT MOBILE SUIT, AS PROVIDENCE CAN ATTACK ENEMIES FROM A GREAT DISTANCE. PROVIDENCE also has a certain degree of versatility, in terms of mobility, although the divine will is excellent, but it is not too obvious than freedom and justice, and the attack power will not be stronger than the freedom and justice equipped with the meteor system, but in actual combat, it has a significantly higher combat performance than the two aircraft, in fact, the key is the excellent next-generation combat system carried by the airframe, 11 different types of floating guns composed of a firepower network with a squadron or more MS comprehensive strength, clever cooperation can form an insurmountable firepower network. As a trial machine, the power of this machine is completely based on the premise of equipping a new type of nuclear fission power furnace, the super output power of the power furnace and the characteristics of almost unlimited energy at the tactical level, constitute a highlight of this machine, although the ZAFT army has subsequently developed a mobile suit that also uses neutron jamming devices - ZGMF-X999A, but due to mass production, its performance and armament have been greatly reduced, so it can not achieve FREEDOM, JUSTICE, THE HEIGHT OF THE PROVIDENCE BODY. ZGMF-X13A "PROVIDENCE" COMPARED TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, ALTHOUGH IT HAS ABSORBED A HIGH DEGREE OF VERSATILITY AND HIGH FIREPOWER (FREEDOM) AND HIGH MOBILITY (JUSTICE), BUT THE SINGLE ATTACK METHOD, ONLY SUITABLE FOR FIGHTING MOBILE SUITS, HAS MADE IT A MACHINE FOR MS WARFARE, AND HAS A SMALL ROLE IN LARGE-SCALE OPERATIONS.

In terms of battlefield detection capabilities, PROVIDENCE is also equipped with new sensors (the specific situation is unknown, the maximum sensing distance is unknown), so as to achieve the purpose of seeking the enemy as far as possible. However, the biggest design feature of this machine is that it is equipped with a neutron interference eliminator. At this time, PLANT's neutron interference cancellation technology is close to practical use, but those are only large-scale neutron interference elimination equipment, and the miniaturization process of the equipment is very difficult. The installation of a neutron interference eliminator makes it possible to install a power furnace for a local nuclear fission reactor, and it should be noted here that the use of a nuclear power system does not simply mean that the energy supply cycle of the engine is extended. Due to the use of nuclear power, the rated power of this machine reaches an astonishing 8826KW. What does this mean? This shortcoming of the PS armor's high energy consumption has been effectively compensated, and it is impossible for the average opponent to hurt it at all; With sufficient energy supply and the body not being attacked by continuous high-intensity attacks, the defense of PS armor against physical weapons (including traditional* classes, railguns, etc.) is almost infinite.

On the usual means of defense, the adoption of thicker armor is one of the direct and effective means. With the guarantee of the nuclear power furnace, the FREEDOM strengthened the armor of the main parts such as the torso, and increased the strength of the overall armor, and at the same time, due to the equipment of the neutron interference eliminator, the nuclear fission reactor and large electronic equipment, the weight of the body far exceeded that of the FREEDOM and JUSTICE, reaching 90.68 tons. Maneuverability remains extremely high. (The reasons for high mobility are explained below.) ）

(2) Fire control system and armament

Compared to the JUSTICE and FREEDOM, which were manufactured at the same time, they were developed at the same time, but the Destiny Gundam did not have the ability to dock with the "Meteor" coordinated combat system, and its designers were completely two teams. AS THE TRUMP CARD MS OF ZAFT'S PRESSURE ARRAY, PROVIDENCE IS SUPERIOR TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE WHEN COMPARING WEAPON AND MECH PERFORMANCE ALONE. First of all, instead of the "directional rotation operating system" used by conventional MS, PROVIDENCE adopted an "intermittent rotation system". The former calculates changes in engine power and makes movements when the driver reacts, which is easy to operate but less maneuverable. In the latter, the engine is quickly turned off during rotation and restarted immediately after turning in a specified direction. The performance of the latter is stronger than the former, but the "intermittent rotation" operation is more difficult, and is not conducive to the life of the engine. In addition, a small engine is also installed at the connection of the PROVIDENCE surface floating cannon, which can further increase the speed of the PROVIDENCE after releasing the floating cannon.

The MA-MV05A (COMPOSITE ARMED SHIELD SYSTEM) on the left arm: developed from the BLITZ and GuAIZ composite armor systems. Indeed, the Zaft army has developed the M7070 machine gun equipped with the "[ZGMF-515 シグ] Sigu" equipped with a built-in shield system, which is not so much a shield as a weapon pylon, which is very different from a pure shield; However, I found inspiration from one of the five prototypes of the Earth Army: Thunderbolt Gundam: BULIZ is equipped with the "Trikeros" attack shield system: it combines physical bullets, beam swords, shields, and beam guns into one, which is more suitable for blitzkrieg and melee combat. PROVIDENCE HAS ABSORBED THIS SETUP: THE SHIELD IS EQUIPPED WITH 2 LASER CANNONS AND A LARGE BEAM SWORD, ACHIEVING THE REALM OF OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.

MA-M221 JUDICIUM POWERFUL LARGE RAY RIFLE IN THE RIGHT HAND: DUE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE MA-M20 LUPUS LUPUS BEAM RIFLE, THE WEAPON EQUIPPED IN FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, PROVIDENCE'S DEVELOPMENT TEAM SHARED DATA WITH THE FREEDOM AND JUSTICE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS TO IMPROVE THE MA-M20 LUPUS LUPUS BEAM RIFLE: THE NEUTRON BATTERY WAS USED AS AN ENERGY SOURCE, The energy supply used only by the battleship-class light main gun; The volume is increased, which is convenient for the auxiliary heat dissipation of this high-energy and high-heat weapon; FROM THIS, IT CAN BE SEEN THAT ITS POWER IS VERY POWERFUL, AND ITS POWER IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE MA-M20 "LUPUS" WOLF BEAM RIFLE IN THE HANDS OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE. PROVINDENCE USED IT TO WRECK FREEDOM'S RIGHT LEG.

Dragoon system: The biggest feature of PROVIDENCE is that it is equipped with the "Dragon SYSTEM" (full written as Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook-operation Network, Chinese interpretation is "Separate Integrated Control of High-speed Mobile Armament Group"), that is, similar to the Moubis Zero wired battery system, the equipment can break away from the body for multi-directional attacks, But the power of the dragoon system, of course, is several times stronger. THE DRAGON SYSTEM, WHICH TOOK THE ZAFT ARMY SEVEN MONTHS TO DEVELOP, WAS TERRIFYING: THESE SMALL LASER CANNONS, WHICH WERE SMALL, CONSUMED VERY LITTLE ENERGY, AND FLEW AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS, WERE PROVIDENCE'S PROUDEST WEAPONS AND THE MOST TERRIFYING FOR THE ENEMY. Most of the movement and attacks of each laser cannon come from millions of formulas calculated by the computer in thousandths of a second, and the driver needs to make appropriate adjustments based on the formulas to avoid being caught by the opponent. THE FIREPOWER OF THE DRAGON SYSTEM ALONE IS ENOUGH TO EASILY WIPE OUT A DIVISION'S MASS-PRODUCED MOBILE SUIT. When all the floating cannons are in operation, the horrors of the dragoon system emerge. The dragoon system can form a defensive barrage to intercept all long-range attacks; When attacking the enemy, the all-round attack composed of 11 floating cannons with a total of 43 muzzles is an unavoidable move, and Mu piloted the STRIKE to defeat miserably under this move.

、

SMALL INDUCTION CANNON X8: A small beam launcher for the Dragoon system, equipped with a back and waist armament, each with 2 muzzles, and 8 small floating cannons, for a total of 16 muzzles. It can be separated from the main body, and the main body controls the attack target. (The turret mounted at the rear waist is larger in size but has the same strength).

BIG INDUCTION CANNON x3: The Dragoon System Large Beam Launcher is equipped on the back of the armament, each with 9 muzzles and 3 large floating cannons, for a total of 27 muzzles. It can be separated from the main body, and the main body controls the attack target.

Although the power of a single shot is not high, because it can attack in multiple directions and angles, it is actually an extremely terrifying and powerful weapon.

Because there are too few weapons, I pulled in the things that were not introduced before:

MMI-GAU2 76mm "Woodpecker" (Picus) close-range defense machine gun ×2: made by the MMI Design Bureau. The close-range machine guns inherited from the GAT-X series were mainly used for defensive purposes. PROVIDENCE CAN BE USED TO HARASS ENEMIES WHEN THEY PULL AWAY.

On the basis of the guarantee of nuclear power energy, although there is no full-gun firing mode, the DROGON system is already comparable to and superior to the all-gun firing mode. It can be seen that the power of the PROVIDENCE firepower is completely based on the equipping of a nuclear power source. AT THE SAME TIME, PROVIDENCE IS ALSO THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF HUMAN WISDOM IN C.E71, BRINGING TOGETHER ALL OF ITS TOP TALENTS AND THE MOST ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL FORCES OF THE ZAFT ARMY (THE ZAFT ARMY ALSO REFERRED TO THE RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES OF THE JOINT "PLAN G" WHEN DEVELOPING) TO PROVIDENCE. As a product of the arms race between the two sides, although it is equipped with a variety of weapon systems, it does not affect the mobility of the airframe at all, and it has considerable strength from hand-to-hand combat to long-range attacks. Divine Sense is indeed a fairly perfect machine, openly claiming to be a next-generation trial machine, but in fact, it is a special machine designed entirely for Kreuzer personally, and it is difficult to control according to the ability of a normal pilot, and it is called a next-generation trial machine, and I am afraid that it is actually impossible to mass produce it. FOR A MAN LIKE LAW LE CRUZER (ラウル·クルーゼ) WHO WENT FROM SELF-LOATHING TO HATING THE HUMAN WORLD, PROVIDENCE COULDN'T BE MORE APPROPRIATE: "HUMAN ...... Haha, these stupid creatures will be judged by God! "THE NAME OF THE ORGANISM: PROVIDENCE, MEANS PROVIDENCE, WHICH MEANS PROVIDENCE, GOD'S WILL; And the name of the high-energy beam rifle, "Judgment", "JUDICIUM", once again satirizes the terrifying will of its driver, Lao: to judge humanity and make the people of the world kill each other. (Episode 49: Rau Le Kreuzer: "I am God!") I can judge everything! Wowhahaha......ha

LAW CAME TO PROMINENCE IN THE OPENCE AT THE END OF THE BATTLE BETWEEN ZAFT AND THE EARTH ARMY. DUEL, BUSTER, AND FREEDOM STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST ADVANTAGE IN THE THREE-PRONGED WAY, AND BUSTER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED BY PROVIDENCE INSTEAD, AND EVEN Kira Yamato's FREEDOM+ "Meteor" coordinated combat system was useless in front of PROVIDENCE and was destroyed in vain. Kira unleashed his SEED ability and fought to the death against Providence, and both GUNDAMs were shattered. IN THE END, KIRA FOUGHT BACK AND STABBED PROVIDENCE'S COCKPIT WITH A DOUBLE-EDGED BEAM SWORD AT THE COST OF LOSING HER RIGHT HAND, HEAD, AND RIGHT LEG, ENDING THE LIFE OF THE MISOGYNISTIC MADMAN.

PS: If it weren't for the fact that it's a boss machine, I don't even believe that it would be knocked out by Freedom!
