Technical History
Developed as a test bed to check the feasability of four energy batteries as a power source. To test the psychological effects, Ananke was modeled after the legendary mobile suit that struck fear into Mars. It lives up to it's name as one of the more successful prototypes in the Earth Federation's outdated arsenal. It's capabilites in speed and agility are only matched by other prototypes. However even with four high energy batteries, it's limited to four shots from the unit's chest mounted mega paricle gun. Gundam Ananke (Name meaning, necessity) has the longest operating time among Federation mobile weapons, thus the Federation complements plans on mass producing new units with this new power source. The Gundam Ananke is sent to deal with Mars Remenants on Earth. Primarly to test it's effects and combat performance in actual combat.
