| Technical and Historical Notes | |
|
An experimental mobile suit designed to support the Rick Dom and fight in close combat in a space setting, the YMS-15 Gyan designed by Ma Qube is a powerful competitor against Federation GMs.
Although it cannot arm beam rifles, the Gyan sports one of the most powerful beam swords of the era, and additionally stores small-yield missiles in its shield. It can also arm an MMP-80 machinegun for medium range firepower. The strength of the Gyan however lays in its powerful frame and beam sword, making it deadly in close combat.
The Gyan is designed primarily to be used in tandem with other mobile suits that specialize in ranged combat, such as Rick Doms and Zaku IIs. It is not an all around combatant like the Gelgoog, but rather specializes in close-combat warfare like the Gouf, maximizing efficiency without resorting to the high powered reactors required for beam weapons.
