Kshatriya

NZ-666 Kshatriya (NZ-666クシャトリヤ) is a Newtype intensive Mobile Suit. It retains the same thermal power as its Mobile Armor predecessor, NZ-000 Quin-Mantha, by utilizing four binders.

Originally codenamed as "four propellers", the binders are multipurpose "wing" components which stores funnels, various weaponry, thrusters, and may act as a shield for the Mobile Suit. The four binders help balance the MS and support its flight capabilities; their invention is the main reason why Kshatriya can retain the power of a giant mecha for its smaller size. A Psycoframe system is built around the cockpit, meaning that it was likely built during the time of Char's rebellion. Since the Neo Zeon manufacturer from that time period pushed every bit of their resources for Kshatriya's creation, it really is the only one of its kind.

Useful for its durability and strength, Kshatriya places massive strain on the Newtype pilot to maintain control for the cannons and funnels. To try to counter these set backs, the Gatling-guns are a last minute addition for the pilot's relief and defense.

The Mobile Suit's namesake is one of four varna, or ancient Hindu castes. Second within the four, it serves as the social order for kings and warriors. Symbols of authority, various ancient Indian empires were said to have been ruled by members of this caste.
