Overall it was an inefficient system that made mobile suit repair and supply difficult. To compensate most of the ships already in service were pressed into carrying mobile suits by strapping the machines to the exterior of the hull. 0079 all Magellan-class ships featured seven twin mega particle cannon turrets, four internal missile launchers, and 14 anti-aircraft machine guns which would later be used to help defend the ships against mobile suit attacks.ĭuring the latter part of the One Year War, because mobile suit production easily outstripped warship production there was a noted lack of dedicated carriers in the Earth Federation’s fleets. When the Magellan-class was first designed and built, the ships had no mega particle cannons, relying on shells and gunpowder to shoot projectiles, but were later refitted with beam weaponry sometime before the One Year War. Propulsion System: Rocket Thrusters: 4 x ? kg

Power Source: Minovsky-Ionesco Fusion Reactor During the latter part of the One Year War, because mobile suit production easily outstripped warship production there was a noted lack of dedicated carriers in the Earth Federation’s fleets. These would be used to help the Magellan-class leave Earth’s atmosphere from Earth Federation bases, like their underground Jaburo headquarters.Ĭlassification: Mass Production Space Battleship The Magellan-class can equip a supplemental rocket booster system to its own main engine thrusters. One of the most famous moments when the re-entry shuttle of a Magellan was used as an escape shuttle was when the Earth Federation’s General Revil used it to escape his crippled flagship, the Ananke, before being captured by the Principality of Zeon’s ace pilots, the Black Tri Stars. In the case of a Magellan battleship in danger of being destroyed, the re-entry shuttle can also be used as an escape shuttle. Located underneath the bow of the Magellan-class is a re-entry shuttle capable of re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. 0070 as part of the Federation’s “’70s Armament Reinforcement Plan.”

The Magellan-class battleship was a battleship that was commissioned in U.C.
