Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Bromb Texter Type Zero is the prototype of the later Bromb Texter Production Type. A poorly designed machine initially, its horrible thruster placement and alignment caused it to be incredibly difficult to control for average pilots. Though it is quite advanced, most of its technologies are evolutions of pre-existing tech. The unit required extensive adjustments and calibrations for it to serve viably as a manhunter commander unit and close quarter fighting unit.

History

Utilized by The Manhunters of the U.C.200's, as it's mainline man machine unit for use in space, the Bromb Texter Zero-Type would serve under the division's 8th Bromb Texter Company; later becoming the mainline unit for the entire force of the Manhunters. It's thrusters and systems were incredibly difficult to calibrate; as the unit wasn't designed by people who hailed from the colonies. But regardless of these errors, the unit was eventually upgraded. With it's shortcomings corrected and the unit would see adoption as the Manhunter's primary workhorse unit after the phasing out of the aging UM-190B.I Gussa and it's space-use version, the UM-190B.II Gussa Improved Performance Type. It would serve well during the opening stages of the Manhunter's conflict with the forces of Metatron, but would be gradually phased out by the later variants of the Bromb Texter, once the conflict was driven earth-side after the Manhunter's coup d'état against the Earth Federation government had begun.
