Technology & Combat Characteristics
The NRX-044Q Asshimar [Danda-Chakra] was a modified version of Titans Major Ewen Bader’s damaged NRX-044 Asshimar, which was reinforced and refurbished within 30 hours at the New Guinea base using a modification pack.
Its head, shoulders, and forearms were enlarged to enhance its disk-shaped silhouette in MA mode, and the top of the head was equipped with a large sensor and antenna. The mono-eye rail adopted an X-shaped configuration, with four sub-cameras—previously hidden behind the visor—now exposed. The destroyed lower legs were replaced with retractable components, while the MA mode was shortened to improve turning performance. Additionally, each leg was equipped with a large jet engine, reducing weight while expanding its tactical versatility. However, these modifications also increased the suit’s overall weight.
The Danda-Chakra was painted dark brown on the upper body and white on the lower body. It featured a newly designed quadruple mega particle cannon, two beam pistols, and two beam sabers integrated into the forearms, which were absent from the original model. Pylons were also added to the underside of the MA mode, allowing it to carry four missiles of various types.
History
In July U.C. 0087, Major Bader deployed in the Danda-Chakra alongside NRX-033 Matabiri and RMS-106 Hizack units to intercept Karaba’s Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser Keraunos, which was attempting to capture the New Guinea base. He engaged in a one-on-one battle with Van Asiliaino's MSK-003 Wagtail II, managing to damage its head sensor, left arm, and beam rifle. However, the Danda-Chakra itself suffered leg damage from an anti-surface missile fired by the Jukon-class submarine U-567, and was then struck directly by a Rick Dias from the Audhumla’, forcing Bader to retreat.
Later, Bader rejoined the battle alongside the Matabiri, engaging the Keraunos unit. However, the Matabiri was destroyed in a suicide attack, forcing him to retreat once again. During the final defense of the New Guinea base, Bader shot down Danica McGuire’s Hizack [Epidendrum] and destroyed Captain Hewitt Reines' RMS-108 Marasai, who had been ordered to be eliminated for leaking classified data on the 30 Bunch Incident. After the battle, Bader transferred to space and switched to a Marasai, while the Danda-Chakra was never seen again.
