Task Force Alpha initially has forty of these machines, including one MSA-007T Nero Trainer Type, but twenty of them are destroyed during the initial attack on Ayers City on March 13, U.C. The Nero serves as the main mobile suit of Task Force Alpha during the Pezun Rebellion. The Nero is equipped with two beam sabers stored in the knees. It is capable of cutting through any armor that has not been treated with anti-beam coating. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits. The rifle uses charged concentrations of Minovsky particles as ammunition, and the particle beam can penetrate almost any armor that has not been treated with specific counter-measures. The standard ranged armament of many mobile suits is the beam rifle. The design of Nero was inspired by another of Anaheim Electronics's mass production mobile suit, the MSA-003 Nemo. The result is a high-performance mass production model potentially capable of rivaling higher-class mobile suits with proper tuning.Ī highly versatile machine, the Nero is capable of equipping various binders that can be connected to the movable frame of its shoulders, and propellant tanks can be attached to its legs and backpack for use in landing operations. The Nero is a mass production version of MSA-0011 S Gundam, and its upper body is based on that of the MSA-012 λ Gundam.
