Description
By the time of the Phobos Incident, the Gallant had proven itself as a reliable and flexible MS, but it was still limited as a primarily ground-based combat system. Using the Gallant for Airborne or Zero-Gravity Combat as it is functionally impossible without drastic and extensive modifications to the point where designing a new frame with the intent of operating in those environments.

The S13D was designed as a Multi-use platform with the primary use of acting as an 'extension' to the Gallant in order to allow it to fight without any modifications in Zero-G and Sub-Orbital environments. The S13D Is built around a powerful thruster array along with some light armor, a small pilot/passenger/cargo compartment and a medium weapon mount. The S13D features special docking equipment for the Gallant that allows it to maintain a fairly wide range of motion with it's arms and torso to help compensate for the lack of environment specific equipment.

Although it isn't strictly considered a combat craft in of itself it is often armed with a Grenade Launcher when paired with a Gallant due to the utility of the various ammunition types available

This is an older design but I had a lot of fun coming up with all these little vignettes! Everything was designed in Lego Digital Design and then rendered in LDD-2-POVray.

I'll be featuring this Solar War Design and others in some upcoming short stories and other works as well.
