BACKGROUND
A Variable Battle Pod based on the EVA (Enemy Valkyrie, Enemy Variable Fighter) that was developed to use the Earth side's technology which was leaked to the Lost Zentrādi in the latter half of the 2010's. The Neo-Gurāji is an EVA that the Macross Concern completed while taking in the designs of such Valkyries as the VF-4 Lightning, as the EVA [itself] did not achieve the rebirth of a high-performance Gurāji.The Neo-Gurāji—which was developed as one of the candidates for the AVF Plan—has had high-manoeuvrability and a large quantity of fire power handed over to it, additional speed in Fighter form, and has perfect performance in hand-to-hand combat in GERWALK due to a Pinpoint Barrier and strengthened SWGA. And even though it has been assigned the dogfighting abilities of such things as the VF-19 and VF-22, it has earned a favourable reputation among Zentrādi soldiers as a powerful heavy attack craft. The Neo-Gurāji has excellent electronic warfare functions, and is able to control both the QF-3000 and QF-4000 Ghost fighters.
However, from a consideration of that high-performance, the cockpit is extremely narrow, and although it is for [giant-sized] Zentrādi, it's said that unless the pilot is a Meltrandi with a small physique, the pilot won't be able to pull the true specifications out of the aircraft. Even though a My-clone-use Neo-Gurāji also exists with the VA-110, as the Neo-Gurāji is a design whose prerequisite is the Zentrādi Health-function Feedback, it is hard to say that the VA-110 could perfectly reproduce the Neo-Gurāji's fighting abilities. Most of the craft deployed to "Fasces" are preferentially deployed to Zentrādi soldiers who adore Naresuan.
The Neo-Gurāji Bis is an upgraded Neo-Gurāji model that appears in "Macross the Ride", set in 2058. Claws have been added to the arms, and it is also equipped with Energy Conversion Armour and a Pinpoint Barrier. The VBP-1 is for Zentrādi giants, and the VA-110 is for My-clone pilots. However, it's said that only the Meltrandi can exert its true capabilities. Naresuwan, the ringleader of the Fasces Fleet, boards a Neo-Gurāji Bis.

NOTES:
- (1) Destroying both the head and the Sensor Eye will knock out the major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal). Radar and communications will be unaffected. Attackers must make a called shot at -6 to strike due to their small sizes.
- (2) Depleting the main body will destroy the vehicle. The pilot will be automatically ejected from the vehicle before it explodes.
- (3) the Pinpoint Barrier shield regenerates at a rate of 50 MDC per round. Even if completely destroyed the shield will regenerate to full strength within 2 melee rounds. The shield is usually generated on the right or left arm.

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS
1. Active Stealth: the Neo-Gurāji is equipped with a 3rd Generation Active Stealth System. Refer to Active Stealth Systems - 3rd Generation for details.2. Energy Conversion Armour SWGA: refer to Energy Conversion Armour for details.
3. Pinpoint Barrier System: for use in GERWALK and Battroid. Refer to Pinpoint Barrier for details.
4. IDECM (Integrated Defensive Electronic CounterMeasures): refer to IDECM for details.
5. Heat and Radiation Shields: refer to Heat And Radiation Shields for details.
6. Ejector Seat with Anti-G Mechanism and Homing Signal: refer to Ejector Seat, Transponder and Survival Kit for details.
7. Escape Pod: refer to Escape Pod for details.
8. Self-Destruct: to prevent capture of a vehicle by the enemy, the pilot can activate the self-destruct system, which will cause the fighter to explode and obliterate all internal systems.
ARMAMENTS
1. Mauler APB-01S Anti-Ship Heavy Quantum Beam Gun (1):
The Neo-Gurāji is equipped with one charged particle beam gun on the upper part of its body in GERWALK and Battroid, and underneath in Fighter. Although the long gun barrel doesn't handle very well, it has a 360° rotation structure, and a wide shooting field. The beam gun is not usually used against small, fast moving opponents.- RANGE: GM's option: further penalties to strike at long range if the Neo-Gurāji is engaging in maneuvers. The following is for not moving and carefully positioning the beam gun to aim properly.
- to 5,750 m: no penalties to hit
- to 11,500 m (maximum range): -3 to strike. Roll 1D4 per shot: ⑴ glancing blow: roll for damage and divide by 1/4, ⑵ glancing blow: roll for damage and divide by 1/2, ⑶ & ⑷ direct hit: roll for damage.
- DAMAGE: 6D6X10+40 M.D. The beam gun does critical damage against ships.
- RATE OF FIRE: maximum of 2 shots per melee.
- PAYLOAD: effectively unlimited.
2. Erikon APB-33 Scattering Irradiation-type Charged Particle Gun Launcher (2):
Built into the arm weapon unit. They correspond to the main armament on the Neo-Gurāji.- RANGE: 2,500 m
- DAMAGE: 1D12x10+10 M.D. per cannon.
- RATE OF FIRE: equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks.
- PAYLOAD: effectively unlimited.
3. Bifors BML-02S Micro-missile Launchers (4):
Arranged two apiece at the base of the left and right arms.- MISSILE TYPES: Bifors BML-02S Micro-missiles, though any type of Micro Missile can be used.
- RANGE: 1.6 km
- DAMAGE: 1D8x10 M.D.
- RATE OF FIRE: Volleys of 1 to 10 missiles per launcher
- PAYLOAD: 20 missiles per launcher, for a total of 80 missiles
- COMBAT: 2 attacks, +2 strike Air-to-Air. +0 strike Air-to-Ground (in most cases, the missile will use one attack to get to the target; the missile usually only has 2 when fired from the chasing plane in a dog fight).
4. Mauler LPG30/AA Anti-Air Laser Pulse Guns (2):
The guns are installed on the bottom of the leading edge of torso. They don't exceed the limits of being an auxiliary armament. They are also used against small targets on the ground.- RANGE: 1,250 m
- DAMAGE: 1D10 MD per round. 1D10X10 MD per 10 round burst. Refer to the Gun Pods and Beam Machine Gun Burst and Spray Rules for alternatives.
- RATE OF FIRE: equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks.
- PAYLOAD: 40 rounds per melee. The guns are limited to bursts of 10 or 20 rounds per attack.
5. Wing Hard Points (4):
There are 2 pivoting hardpoint on the upper surface of each upper leg/wing, for a total of 4. The Neo-Gurāji can mount a combination of missiles, or missiles and missile-launchers. Due to the nature of the Neo-Gurāji's transformation and attack role, pilots prefer to use missile launcher pods that provide a measure of protection from accidental bumps, or large missiles/bombs that are used in the opening moments of combat. Refer to Missiles FCS 50's for further details, and Missiles & FCS Basics for alternatives.
