NZ-666 Kshatriya
NZ-666 Kshatriya (aka “Quad-wing”) is a mobile suit piloted by Marida Cruz. The Kshatriya is an improved model of the NZ-000 Quin-Mantha developed by Anaheim Electronics. The Kshatriya is much smaller than the Quin-Mantha but has equal firepower. This is accomplished by the four large shoulder binders similar to that of the Quin-Mantha, each binder storing a pair of mega particle cannons, beam saber holding sub-arms and six funnels. The main body of the Kshatriya also has four mega particle cannons and two beam sabers.

Kshatriya
Kshatriya (Sanskrit: क्षत्रिय, kṣatriya from Sanskrit: क्षत्र, kṣatra) or Kashtriya, meaning warrior, is one of the four varnas (social orders) in Hinduism. It traditionally constituted the military and ruling elite of the Vedic-Hindu social system outlined by the Vedas and the Laws of Manu.
In the early Vedic civilization, the warrior caste was called rājanya (or kšatrīya). Rājanya was an adjectival form of rāja “ruler, king” from a root rāj “to rule”, cognate to the Latin rex “king”, the German Reich “empire/realm”, and the Thai racha “king”. In Persia, the satraps, or “kshatrapa”, were the governors, or “protectors”, of the Persian Empire’s provinces.
Initially in ancient Vedic society, this position was achieved on the merits of a person’s aptitude (Sam), conduct (Sam), and nature (Sam). The earliest Vedic literature listed by organization of function, not of caste, the Kshatriya (holders of kṣatra, or authority) as first in rank, and the Brahmins second (priests and teachers of law), before the Vaisya (merchant-traders, farmers and some artisan castes), and the Sudra (labourers, some farming castes and other artisan castes). Movements of individuals and groups from one class to another, both upward and downward, were not uncommon; a rise in status even to the rank of Kshatriya was a recognized reward for outstanding service to the rulers of the day. Over the years it became hereditary. In modern times, the Kshatriya varna includes a broad class of caste groups, differing considerably in status and function but united by their claims to ruler-ship, the pursuit of war, or the possession of land.
