ASW-G-61 Gundam Zagan: Features and Legacy of the Calamity War

The ASW-G-61 Gundam Zagan is a Calamity War unit, originally piloted by Arzona Issue, one of Gjallarhorn's founding Seven Stars. After the conflict, it was secretly guarded by the Issue family for generations, carrying the weight of a lineage forged in war. Centuries later, amidst a fierce power struggle within the Issue lineage, the Gundam Zagan resurfaces once more, this time under the control of Lond Bron, a former elite guard of Carta Issue, in its resurgence in Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS: Urdr-Hunt. This Mobile Suit stands on a robust Gundam Frame equipped with two Ahab Reactors, powering its heavy black Nanolaminate Armor and a compatible Alaya-Vijnana system in its cockpit. Conceived as a "power-focused" Gundam, the Zagan is optimized for close-quarters combat and brute force, translating the power of its reactors into overwhelming physical strength. Its primary armament includes the multifunctional Shield Plier Unit, mounted on extensible sub-arms, serving as both a robust shield and offensive pliers capable of cutting and dismantling enemy Mobile Suits, and its characteristic Screw Punch or Drill Fist, where its reinforced arms rotate at high speed to deliver devastating blows capable of pulverizing Nanolaminate armor.
