Lore:

The FA-93HWS ν Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type is a mobile suit featured in the original design series Char’s Counterattack Mobile Suit Variations.

• The ν Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type was designed to enhance the ν Gundam’s functions in the event of the Second Neo Zeon War becoming prolonged.
• It is inspired by the F.S.W.S (Full-armor System and Weapon System) plan and provides higher defensive and offensive capabilities.
• The improved defense is due to additional armor mounted on several parts of the body, and some of these armor pieces have built-in propellant tanks and thrusters to offset the added weight.
• Meanwhile, its offensive power is boosted by shoulder missile launchers which are improved versions of the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam’s, as well as more powerful beam rifle and shield known as hyper mega rifle and high mega shield respectively.
• However, the Heavy Weapon System plan was never completed due to ν Gundam’s rushed deployment and eventual MIA status.
