After almost five decades of using the extremly bulky yet reliable MAC-II G Destroid the choice was made to upgrade to a more up todate and reliable unit.
After much testing at several varying sites the GFAS-X1 Destroy has been labbeled the next generation of Phalanixian mobile artilery.
On the rating scale that Phalanix follows for each weapon the Destroy ranked up like so: At only a fraction of the power it was able to level a small city within a single minute and not use a tactical nuclear device like the MAC-II would have.
However tge GFAS-X1 does take a page from the aging mobile suit sector it makes up for it's short falls as a mobile suit with it's shear destructive force and the intimadation factor of it's shear size.

OCC: Yes I've been watching to much Gundam Seed Destiny and I feel in love with these beast so I just had to create a unit in my military. Besides now I have something that the council will love to use every chance they get.
And please one more thing. Don't turn this into som debate about tanks being better than MS. I like MS better so keep any tank comments to yourselves. Thankyou.

Recently after witnessing the abilities of this GFAS-X1 unit the choice has been made to create a support assault unit for it that can handel the multipule roles that would normaly require many diffrent units. As a result projects Destiny and Testament have both been created to tkae up roles however the Destiny project is currently at it's prototype phase while the Testament is still in the constrution phase.

SECRET IC:
The detales as requested by the Military Council and the Legend Division.
This is a level XR-Gold document and only Military Council members, the Legend Division members, and the Destiny test pilot.

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/zgmf-x42s.jpg
Model Number: ZGMF-X42S
Unit Type: Prototype Mobile Suit
Creator: Legendary Weapons Inc.
Power Supply: Plasma/Deutron (Fusion Reactor)
Overall height: 18.08 meters
Weight: 79.44 metric tons
Armament:
MMI-GAU26 17.5mm CIWS x 2
The next upgrade of the CIWS is much more compact than its previous release, the MMI-GAU25A 20mm CIWS, which makes it capable of minimizing space usage on the head. Though more compact, it can shred through armor easily with penetrating bullets
Hand-wrist Cover Beam-Shield Generator MX2351 "Solidus Fulgor" x 2 (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-mx2351.jpg)
A new and noticable feature is the new Cover Beam-Shield Generator, which is located on the wrist. It generates a beam shield which emits capable of blocking both beam and projectile weapons with ease. It can be activated in a short amount of time with minimal charging time enabling it to defend itself even while the beam that is fired at it is already in the air.
This new innovation lightens up the weight of the Destiny as it no longer has the need to carry a mobile shield and frees up its hands for more manuverability. It also eliminates the use of Anti-Beam Coating and gets rid of the disadvantage of the mobile shields that tend to wear down if hit constantly by beams. Though power consumption for this shield is high along with many of its other weapons, it is not a problem as the Destiny is plasma powered
RQM60F "Flash Edge 2" Beam Boomerang x 2 (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-rqm60f.jpg)
The twin beam boomerangs are currently still in testing and little information is avilable however they are mounted in the shoulders.
MMI-714 "Arondight" x 2 (Back Beam Sword) (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-mmi-714.jpg)
Test Image (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/PhoenixMaxwell/beamsword.jpg)
The Arondight Beam Sword is stored on the Destiny Gundam's back and is the primary melee weapons of the Destiny. It is an upgrade of the Assault Type VBR-4 MMI "Excalibur" Anti-Ship Sword as the beam is more concentrated enabling it to slice hull plating and enemy vehicles in half with ease. Like its predecessor, it is also capable of breaching cockpits and its efficiency is maximized when charging at its target
M2000GX High Energy Long-Range Prototype Possitron Cannon (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-m2000gx.jpg)
Little information is available on this however the weapon is mounted on the back of the Destiny and has the power equivilent to a single positron cannon on the Destroy but at 3/4 power.
MMI-X340 "Palma Fiocchina" x 2 (Palm Beam Cannon) (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-mmi-x340.jpg)
With its palms, it can create a beam cannon that charges up and fires, capable of shredding through armor. It is more effective at close range and can be fired when gripping onto its target making a deadly explosion.
MA-BAR73/S High Energy Beam Rifle (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/lineart/zgmf-x42s-ma-bar73s.jpg)
A standard issue beam rifle and a faily common weapon found in all MS. With it, the Destiny Gundam aims and fires at its targets, though it can be dodged by its enemies with ease.

Aditional Notes: The unit has the tendency when firing it's thrusters to form an image that ressembles wings (refered to as Wings of Light (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/PhoenixMaxwell/GSD_37_-_371.jpg)). As a result in combat trials this is usualy one of the last images cameras on the drones are able to detect before the Destiny obliterates them.
Also it carries a unique system that permits it to create a ghost like image trail as it moves resulting in a larger challenge for the enemy attempting to shoot it down.

Conclusion: Project Destiny currently shows promise as the next assault support unit however due to the price tag the units will be in small numbers

Weight: 80.01 Metric Tons
Special equipment:
Flight Pack (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/destiny-astray/rgx-00-flight.jpg)

Powerplant: Plasma Fission Reactor
Armament:
CIWS x2
Identicle to the Destiny Project's CIWS system.
Plasma Beam Saber x2
Unlike the Destiny the Testament uses standard beam sabers. They simply create a magnetic feild and fill the feild with plasma permiting the blade to slice through almost anything with the exception of other beam weapons
Heavy Claw Hand w/ Plasma Beam Gun x1 (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/destiny-astray/lineart/rgx-00-claw.jpg)
The claw being the other melee weapon of the Testament is equiped with a built in plasma beam gun that much like the Destiny's palm beam guns however this model fires off plasma. It can double a a small sheild however it does a poor job. The claw tends to be a last resort holdout weapon. It's mounted on the bottom of the backpack when not in use.
85mm HE MS Pistol x2 (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/destiny-astray/lineart/rgx-00-weapons.jpg)
The HE MS pistol is a 85mm pistol weapon that fires HE shells at its target. The ammo capacity of each pistol is abel to hold a total of nine rounds each and the backpack contains roughly four extra clips.

Aditional Information:
The backpack (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/PhoenixMaxwell/rgx-00-backpack.jpg) of the Testament holds the spare ammo and heavy claw while at the same time can provide additional manoverability via small thrusters in it as well as glider type wings.
