Technology & Combat Characteristics
The AMX-101E Schuzrum-Galluss is a mobile suit developed by the Sleeves based on the AMX-101 Galluss-J, and was customized as an assault machine with a focus on breaking through enemy positions, such as bases and ships. To suit its specialization, the mobile suit's weight was reduced by more than 50% compared to its base machine. This was achieved through the removal of existing armor, such as those on the shoulders and legs, as well as the omission of cruising-use thrusters and associated propellant. As a result, the Schuzrum-Galluss has extremely high maneuverability, and excels in melee combat as there is now lesser armor that could get in its way during fighting. However, the lack of cruising-use thrusters caused it to rely on external propulsion unit such as the AMX-102 Zssa's booster unit for cruising purposes.
With only the minimum amount of armor, and the inability to return from the mission as the external propulsion unit is discarded after reaching the battlefield, the survivability of the Schuzrum-Galluss' pilot is very low, making it almost like a suicide unit. The Schuzrum-Galluss has no standard set of portable firearms, instead it was designed to fight with armaments from other mobile suits in accordance to its mission. In fact, it is possible for the mobile suit to be deployed for combat with its entire body armed to the limit of its payload. The Schuzrum-Galluss does have a custom weapon in the form of a pair of spike shields that can be used for both defense and offense. It also has a pair of magnet anchors in the shoulders that can be used in various ways, such as helping it land on enemy ships during assault missions.
History
The Schuzrum-Galluss was deployed by the Sleeves together with their older mobile suits in order to halt the SCVA-76 Nahel Argama's advance toward Industrial 7 for their purpose of retrieving Laplace's Box. Upon boarding the Nahel Argama using an AMX-102 Zssa's booster unit, the Schuzrum-Galluss used its magnetic anchors to latch itself onto the ship, where together with a shotgun-equipped Zssa, would engage in combat against a AMS-129 Geara Zulu and a RGM-89D Jegan D Type. After incapacitating both mobile suits, the Schuzrum-Galluss used its chain mine to breach the hull of the Nahel Argama, but before it could proceed any further, Conroy Haagensen in his customized RGM-89De Jegan (ECOAS Type), took out the Zssa with its Fire Nut grenades and engaged the Schuzrum-Galluss with its handgun. The Schuzrum-Galluss approached Conroy's Jegan, but was knocked off the Nahel Argama by one of the RX-0 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam's propellant tanks detached by Banagher Links. Its fate afterwards is unknown in the OVA, but in the manga "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: The Noble Shroud", the drifting Schuzrum-Galluss and its pilot Bilancia was saved and retrieved by Sleeves engineer Juli and her Zssa booster.
