Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Shanel was built as a"female" version of the MSN-04 Sazabi. The overall design of the Shanel is a combination of the MSN-04 Sazabi and AMX-004 Qubeley. Compared to the Sazabi the Shanel has less firepower, as it is also equipped with a weaker beam rifle and lacks an abdomen-mounted mega particle cannon. Like the Qubeley, the Shanel is focused on utilizing its psycommu weaponry, which are housed in its rear skirt armor (not unlike the Qubeley's).

Armaments

Funnel Like the Qubeley, the Shanel features smaller tapered funnels that mount in the rear skirt. These funnels need to be recharged more often than the Sazabi’s, but they require less energy overall.

History

The Shanel was designed simultaneously with the MSN-04 Sazabi, but Char Aznable rejected the design on the basis that the psycommu weaponry (the main focus of the unit) was unimportant.
