SAND ANGLER
A submersible land cruiser used by the Mars Zeon’s “Chester Fleet.” Three ships have been confirmed. They were produced in a Mars plant with the design of the Mad Angler-class submarine as a base. Defeated by the Re-Zeon and having lost their territory, it could be said that this ship is their nation. Much like the Rewloola features radiator plates on either side of the central hull, this same design and structure became the basis for the Sand Angler’s expanding/retracting feature. Since the ship is equipped with a Minovsky craft as it’s propulsion system, the idea is though to be an archetype for later such things as the Adrastea-class line of battleships.
In addition to 20 mobile suits, the Sand Angler can also carry one large mobile armor, and is also used as an operational carrier for mobile weapons. It utilizes a special structure capable of expanding and retracting the hull forward and backward according to the number of mobile suits on board. Note that the central part of the hull is the expanding/retracting point. The overall length changes from 250m to 350m.
A kind of land battleship utilized by Zeon Mars. Equipped with a Minovstorm unit on either side of the ship, it allows for tunneling underground while causing a sandstorm. With a flying ban imposed on Mars and due to ReZeon’s deployment of surveillance satellites in orbit, it is effectively becoming impossible for ground activities. In order to escape from these surveillance networks, Zeon Mars is based on this ship called the “Angler,” diving underground to continue guerrilla activities against ReZeon.
