Knightmare Profile

The Z-01 Lancelot, brainchild of Special Technical Envoy head engineer Lloyd Asplund, goes from mothballed prototype to linchpin of the Britannian military in short order thanks in no small part to its skilled pilot, Suzaku Kururugi. In order to increase the Lancelot's combat effectiveness, Lloyd designs a special Float Unit, modeled on the same system employed by the aerial battleship Avalon. The Float Unit uses a Higgs Field Neutralizer, which counteracts the force of gravity and allows the Lancelot to fly and hover. Despite the tactical advantage flight affords, the Float Unit must be used sparingly, as it drains energy quickly and can leave the Lancelot out of power if not managed effectively. The Lancelot Air Cavalry, as the modified unit is dubbed, is first deployed to thwart the Chinese Federation's attempted takeover of Kyushu and later participates in the battle against the Black Rebellion in the Tokyo Settlement. One year after the Black Rebellion, Suzaku is promoted to the Empire's elite Knights of the Round and participates in Britannia's war with the E.U., where he earns the nickname "White Reaper." Following Suzaku's transfer back to Area 11, Lloyd upgrades the Lancelot once more, into the Z-01/D Lancelot Conquista.
