Biological Weaponry

Bioweaponry was used by the Principality of Zeon during the One Week War.

Chemical Weaponry

Chemical weaponry was used during three separate conflicts in the Universal Century. Since space colonies are completely enclosed the results of chemical weaponry were often disturbing to observe.

• One Week War: The Principality of Zeon use G3 nerve gas against Sides 1, 2, and 4.
• 30 Bunch Incident: The Titans shut of circulation to Side 1's 30 Bunch, massacring the entire colonies population. Although a complete press blackout was put in place to cover up the incident, the truth eventually emerged. This incident inspired the rise of the Anti Earth Union Group (AEUG).
• Gryps Conflict:G3 nerve gas in 2 incidents during the war. The first was stopped by Katz Kobayashi when he managed to destroy the canister before it being released into a colony in Side 2. The second though was stopped too late, and the entire colony was killed instantly upon its release.

Space Weaponry

Although the Antarctic Treaty prohibited the use of NBC weaponry it did not stop the Principality or the Federation from trying to develop new superweapons for use against one another.

Colony Drop

One of the most devastating tactics used against the Earth Federation was the colony drop. Universal Century colonies are roughly 20 miles long and 4 miles wide, easily making these colonies the largest ballistic weapons ever built. Colony drops result in massive climate changes, land loss, and heavy causalties among those living in harms way.

• Operation British: The Zeon secure a defunct colony in an effort to destroy the Federation's subterrainian Jaburo base. The EFSF intervenes, and the colony's course is altered, causing it to fall on Sydney, Australia.

Solar System/Solar System II

The Solar System II

Based on the Weapon devised by ancient inventor Archimedes, The Solar System, also called Solar Flare System, is a superweapon developed by the Earth Federation which uses a system of mirrors to focus sunlight onto an object in order to heat it to the point of fracture. The Federation used this weapon twice, once during the One Year War and again during the Delaz Fleet crisis. Image File history File links Solar_System_II_(Gundam). ...

• Operation Stardust: The Federation's 3rd Orbital Fleet deploys the Solar System II in an effort to destroy Island Iffish before it impacts earth. Anavel Gato intervenes, destroying the Solar System II control ship, and as a result the Solar System II fails to prevent the colony drop. Thanks to improved materials and more sophisticated control software, it Consists of only 408,000 mirrors resembling the shape of a plus sign, while retaining the destructive power of the first Solar System.

Solar Ray Cannon

The Solar Ray Cannon prepares to fire

Following the loss of Odessa and Solomon, the Zeon military was on the defensive. After witnessing the effectiveness of the Earth Federation's Solar System during the Battle of Solomon and fearing the Federation's next move would be a full-scale assault on the home colonies, Zeon's Supreme Commander Gihren Zabi ordered the construction of a massive solar powered beam projector known as the Solar Ray System. The project originally started in the Mahal colony in September 0079, exploiting the same loophole in the Antarctic Treaty as the Federation's Solar System. Supervised by Colonel Asakura, who also developed Zeon's lethal G3 nerve gas, solar batteries from other colonies were collected and a projection array was built within the colony walls. Although intended for use against the Federation this weapon was only used once against Degwin Sodo Zabi while his fleet and General Revil's fleet were meeting to negotiate a peace. The premeture firing of the Solar Ray Cannon by Gihren Zabi caused the Colony Laser to burn out, which contributed to the Principality of Zeon's loss during the Battle of A Baoa Qu by depriving Girhen and Kycilla Zabi the ability to strike at the Federation from a distance.

Gryps Colony Laser

Essentially a better version of the Solar Ray Cannon. To punish rebellious colonies without conventional invasion or the use of Chemical Weapons, Section 2 of the Gryps Colony was converted into a giant Laser Cannon. Unlike the Solar Ray which burned out after firing, the Gryps Colony Laser can fire indefinitely but requires a long time to recharge in between each shot. Power is supplied by an Array of Solar Panels while a thermonuclear pulse thruster provides mobility. It was first used by the Titans to destroy Colony 18 of Side 2 and later captured by Axis and used to eradicate the remnants of the Titans. It was soon destroyed after the conclusion of Operation Maelstrom and the end of the Gryps Conflict.
