OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 is one of Gundam-type mobile suits in the manga series [[Gundam W G-Unit: Last Outpost|New Mobile Report Gundam W Dual Story: G-Unit]] (released in America as Gundam: The Last Outpost).

History

Developed in secret at the asteroid belt colony MO-V, the Geminass was the first of Dr. Berg's experimental G-Units, advanced mobile suits which were intended to revolutionize warfare. As experimental models, the G-Units featured several new systems and construction methods which were designed to improve upon the standards set by machines like the OZ-00MS Tallgeese and its production model, the OZ-06MS Leo. The first of these technologies is the Unit System, from which the G-Unit derives part of its name; this system, designed to eliminate the need for environment-specific mobile suits, allows every part of the machine (except the cockpit) to be quick and easy to replace with a part better suited for a given situation. This process was aided by the fact that most of the G-Unit's major parts were held in place with interlocking bolts which could be taken out quickly. The second, and more important, of the G-Unit's new technologies is the PX System. This special system causes a brief period of super-charge, increasing the mobile suit's speed and power, as well as stimulating an adrenaline surge in the pilot. The side effect of this system is its volatile nature; if abused, the PX System can cause permanent damage to both the mobile suit and the pilot's brain.

The Geminass was intended as a basic model machine to show off the capabilities of the G-Units' new technologies. Its weapons include beam swords, featuring a higher output than the standard beam saber, and an accelerate rifle. This weapon fired highly charged muons in standard beam rifle fashion, but also had a spiral particle accelerator lining its barrel which allowed it to charge the beam, creating a high-damage blast nicknamed "Hyper Shot". The Geminass also carried a durable shield featuring a honeycomb construction. In its basic configuration, the Geminass was best suited for ground combat; however, by swapping out the shoulder and calf parts and adding a special thruster backpack, it could be adapted for space use in a matter of minutes.

Two Geminass units were constructed at MO-V. The first, Geminass 01, was painted white with blue, red and yellow accents and piloted by Odin Barnett, the colony's hotheaded young pilot. Initially feeling inadequate compared to his brother Odell, Adin sought to prove himself when OZ Prize began attacking the colony to get the G-Units. After learning of the five Gundams attacking the Alliance on Earth, and how the colonists thought of them as guardians, Adin declared Geminass 01 a Gundam and swore to use it to protect MO-V. Unfortunately, his brashness immediately after this nearly caused his death, as he charged headlong into battle with Prize's leaders, the Stardust Knights. Only through the intervention of Odell was Adin saved, though the act apparently cost the older Barnett brother his life. Coming to grips with the fact that he along could defend the colony, Adin was able to activate the PX System to defeat the newly built OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius. When it became apparent that Geminass 01 wasn't enough to stop Prize, the Gundam was overhauled into the high mobility machine OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster.

Model Number Issues

When it first appears, Geminass 01 is given the model number X-GU01A. After MO-V signs up with OZ, however, it adds the familiar OZ- prefix to its name, resulting in what is considered its standard model number.

It should be noted that the Geminass 01's standard ground combat parts are referred to as A-Parts, while the space combat thruster set is called the B-Parts. This suggests that the OZX-GU01A model number refers to the ground combat Geminass 01, while the space version's proper designation is OZX-GU01B.
