IFX-V701 GalahadNote:
The following is a custom Knightmare frame created for the Code GEASS RPG only. This is not a canon design. Also, the design is a unique prototype and therefore extremely rare, and in the possession of an NPC. Player Characters who desire to use the design can do so, but only at the end of a relatively high-level campaign, when the PCs have gained enough experience to qualify for a higher-level or advanced prototype KMFs.

Background Information:
Constructed under the auspices of Prince Schneizel El Britannia,the IFX-V701 Galahad was a seventh generation experimental knightmare frame, a prototype in the IFX series. Sharing the heavy chassis of the IFX-V301 Gawain prototype command knightmare, the Galahad was designed as a fast scout/strike unit to complement the Gawain’s capabilities, designed under Prince Schneizel’s doctrine of fast airborne assaults by medium-to-heavy class Knightmares.
In Schneizel’s tactical doctrine, flights of one Gawain and three Galahads will engage the enemy, with two Galahads providing cover for the Gawain while another acts a scout/spotter, providing target acquisition data for the Gawain’s hadron cannons, while the Gawain coordinates the operations of the three Galahads by networked battlefield information.
The Galahad is equipped with seventh generation technology and weapons. Its power systems use the Yggdrasil drive superconductor transfer system, which makes the power use of energy filler cartridges more efficient. A pair of factsphere sensors on the shoulders increases its panoramic view of the battlefield and enhances weapons targeting. A detachable Float system with four x-configuration wings allow for atmospheric flight.
For weapons, the Galahad uses systems tested from the Z-01 Lancelot prototype. A MVS Lance is its primary melee weapon, supplemented by two Slash Harken wired rocket anchors on forearms. Twin VARIS Rifles, mounted on the shoulders that drop down, twist forward and fired from the hips on pivoting connectors, are the Galahad’s primary ranged weaponry. A left forearm mounted particle shield gives the Galahad added protection against weapons.
One Galahad was reportedly finished by Schneizel’s secret factories, while two others were still under construction at the time of the Black Rebellion. When the Gawain was stolen by the leaders of the Order of the Black Knights at Kaminejima Island, the construction of the two other Galahad were stopped, with development priority shifting to the Siegfried Knight Giga Fortress. But a fire at the Galahad construction facility ended the development of the Knightmare, but reports that since no remains of Galahad Unit 01 were recovered after the fire, reports are filtering that the event was caused by sabotage, and that the unit was stolen, with its current whereabouts unknown even to Britannian Imperial Intelligence.
Rumors are also circulating that a former member of Prince Schneizel’s staff was the culprit in the theft. Given that this former noble fell out of favor from Prince Schneizel and disappeared a little over a decade ago, cast doubts on these rumors, but they still are whispered in private among the Britannian nobility and military hierarchy.
