RAS-96 Anksha

RAS-96 Anksha (RAS-96 アンクシャ) is a mass-production transformable mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn and Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative.

The RAS-96 Anksha was developed as the successor to the NRX-044 Asshimar, but shares many interior components with the RGM-89 Jegan, and this allows its production cost to be reduced. Just like the Asshimar, the Anksha is capable of high-altitude atmospheric flight without the help of a sub-flight system while in its disk-shaped mobile armor mode.

With the application of magnetic-coating technology on the unit's joints and large moving parts, the Anksha can transform between mobile suit and mobile armor modes in a matter of seconds. The Anksha was able to serve as a sub-flight system for other mobile suits in the same fashion as a Base Jabber. It was also able to respond flexibly to high-altitude interceptor missions.
