The Dinadan is the chosen knightmare frame of Johann Ernst, the Britannian Empire's Knight of Two in Code Geass Megiddo.
Appearance[]
Generally looks like the Gundam Throne Eins from Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Its hadron launcher takes after the Throne Eins' GN Launcher, i.e. mounted over the right shoulder on the right side of the cockpit pod, while its hadron rifle looks like the Eins' GN Beam Rifle. For colors, it is painted in the same dark gray scheme as the Throne Eins.
Design[]
One of the first true artillery type knightmares to come into existence, the Dinadan was specifically designed for long-range bombardment and fire support. For this, its main weapon is a hadron launcher mounted over its right shoulder, which combined with its advanced sensor systems allow the Dinadan to engage targets beyond nominal sensor ranges. Complimenting this weapon is a hadron rifle, a handheld version of the weapon type, and a pair of slash harkens are mounted on its forearms. And finally for melee capability, the Dinadan is equipped with a pair of maser vibration daggers, which are kept on shoulder ports when not in use.
History[]
Created for the usage of Johann Ernst, Knight of Two and "Owl of Britannia", the Dinadan is marked as one of the first true artillery knightmare frames to come to existence. Although artillery type knightmares had been researched upon by engineers from Britannia and other nations of the world, it would not be until the Dinadan's production that such a concept would come to fruitation.
As the Knight of Two (the second highest of the Knights of the Round), Johann has made effective use of the Dinadan throughout the Great World War, in which he has employed it as both a combat unit and as a mobile command vehicle. Amongst his most noteworthy engagements are the conquests of Spain and the British Isles, the invasion of France and later on, engaging the Chinese Liberation Army and the reborn Black Knights in Area 22 (China).
