Technology & Combat Characteristics
Ptolemaios 2 Kai is an enhanced/upgraded version of CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2. Because Celestial Being lost Wang Liu Mei, their last financier to sponsor their projects, a conservative engineering approach was decided to enhance and extend its capabilities in anticipation against ESF-Forces. As such, most of its physical layout remains the same, but a series additions/enhancements, including a visible pair of boosters have been integrated into Ptolemy.
The original pair of vernier modules (on the side and in between its steering fins) has been extended with a pair of GN Boosters. The newly added boosters extend from the mid-rear section and pass its thrusters, nearly three-quarters the length of Ptolemy's body. While subtle, the boosters provide additional power to propulsion and protection to Ptolemy. It provides an additional layer of shielding for its entire length and now the main thrusters have greater coverage against enemy fire. When the condensers on the GN Boosters run out of particles, they can be jettisoned and the verniers will be used as main propulsion. Ally units can also use the boosters as cover against enemy fire as well.
Internally: Ptolemy II Kai's systems now supports GN Drive Tau technology. While CB created a formidable combat force of Gundams, they only had 2 functional GN Drives, the rest were destroyed in combat. With the need to maintain a combative edge, new GN Drives were needed, but CB engineers have already dedicated 2 years of their lives just to create a pair for 00 Qan[T]. With budget and time constraints under consideration, CB engineers decided to adapt GN T Drives and GN Condensers to supplement their pre-existing MS force.
Equipment used to recharge T-Drives were installed on board the ship. While not shown, it's presumed the equipment is loaded into the MS hanger for recharge. It's also presumed that Veda/Tieria provided CB engineers the data and technology about GN T Drives to help maintain them. It's also theorized that Ptolemy may have it's own GN T Drives to power its propulsion to reduce the need to recharge with a Gundam, but that's not proven. It's overall capabilities can be enhanced through its Trans-Am System.
