Unleashing the Power of the MSK-008S Dijeh Traversia

A New Era in Mobile Suit Technology

The MSK-008S Dijeh Traversia is a revolutionary mobile suit designed by Neo Zeon engineer Arlette Almage, built upon the foundation of Char Aznable’s custom MSK-008 Dijeh. This heavy assault space mobile suit is tailored for Newtype pilots, boasting unparalleled power and versatility.

Design and Development

Arlette Almage’s vision was to create a machine that could harness the full potential of a Newtype pilot. By modifying the original Dijeh’s frame and incorporating cutting-edge technology, the Dijeh Traversia was born. Its development was driven by the need to gather data for a next-generation machine tailored to Char Aznable’s specifications.

Armaments and Equipment

The Dijeh Traversia is equipped with an array of formidable weapons and equipment, including:

• Beam Cannons: Mounted on the Gyre Binders, these cannons deliver a maximum output of 4.2MW.
• Beam Rifle: A prototype beam machine gun, powered by a replaceable E-pac.
• Beam Pistols: Compact yet powerful, these pistols can destroy an enemy mobile suit with a single shot.
• Beam Naginata: A twin beam sword capable of generating two beam blades simultaneously.
• Shield: A custom prototype round shield with an anti-beam coating and four built-in mega particle cannons.
• Mega Particle Cannons: With a power rating of 9.3 MW each, these cannons are effective against both mobile suits and battleships.
• Funnel: Newtype-use remote controlled weapons capable of all-range attacks.
• Gyre Binder: Improves the mobile suit’s speed and firepower, featuring vector thrusters, an integrated beam cannon, and propellant tanks.
• Psycho-Frame Cockpit: Allows a Newtype pilot to control the mobile suit as if it were their own body.

Real-World Debut

The MSK-008S Dijeh Traversia made its debut in MSV-R: The Return of Johnny Ridden, showcasing its impressive capabilities and cementing its place in the world of mobile suit technology.
