Code Geass Knightmare Frames

Knightmare Profile

Developed and funded by the Kyoto House, the Type-02 Guren Mk-II is the first wholly Japan-made Knightmare Frame. Produced under the auspices of former Britannian scientist Rakshata Chawla, the Guren is effectively the second seventh generation Knightmare, putting it on par with the powerful Z-01 Lancelot. Like the Lancelot, it takes a theoretical technology from the sixth generation and puts it into practical use; in the case of the Guren Mk-II, this is the radiation wave. With this system, powerful microwaves can be emitted from the Guren's right hand, causing incredible damage to electronics as well as organics. This radiation can also be used to power certain devices, and can form an impromptu defensive field capable of stopping even a shot from the Lancelot's VARIS rifle. Though the Kyoto House favored the Japanese Liberation Front in the past, the Guren Mk-II is instead awarded to the Order of the Black Knights and subsequently assigned to Kallen Kouzuki, the Order's highly talented young ace pilot. In Kallen's capable hands, the Guren proves to be a match for the Lancelot, fighting the dreaded 'White Armor' to a standstill on several occasions. During the Battle of Tokyo, the Guren lost its right arm in battle with the Lancelot. Afterwards, the arm is replaced with a less efficient version from the Mk-II's predecessor.
