Technical and Historical Notes
The RAS-96 Anksha is based on the mobile suit NRX-044 Asshimar and just like the Anksha is able to fly in the atmosphere of a planet on its own without the help of a sub-flight system. With magnet coating technology installed in the transformation system, the Anksha was able to transform between its two modes in a matter of seconds. Also, it sported thick armor and was easily able to withstand most standard firearms used by mobile suits. Unlike its predecessor, the Asshimar, which was limited to fielding its custom beam rifle that was mounted on the main body in mobile armor mode, limiting its usefulness, the Anksha has two beam guns that can be used in both modes.
