RX-104FF Penelope

RX-104FF Penelope (RX-104FF ペーネロペー?) is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway. An Anaheim Electronics-made Mobile Suit that Kenneth Sleg put on the frontline to annihilate Mafty. 

The RX-104FF Penelope is a mode of the RX-104 Odysseus Gundam where it is equipped with the FF (Fixed Flight) Unit. It is classified as a 5th generation MS alongside the RX-105 Ξ Gundam, which was developed around the same time. 

It is one of the Mobile Suits to be equipped for the first time with a miniaturized Minovsky Flight, so it has a high level of solo flight capability in the atmosphere. The MS was unique due to its capability to achieve independent flight and was considered to be a MS that would greatly change the course of Mobile Suit operations under gravity. These functions largely depended on the FF Unit, while the Ξ Gundam had a different structure that integrated all of the functions into a single MS. 

In addition to the FF unit, it is said that an optional armament known as the Argos Unit was developed, but its details are unknown. It is also said to be equipped with a Psycommu or a Quasi-Psycommu unit. The MS is also capable of supersonic flight by deploying a Beam Barrier in the direction of its movement, but this requires the MS to transform into its Flight Form.
