MAN-003 Patulia

In the anime series Gundam X, the Patulia was the biggest mobile armor ever built, which was not only heavily armed but also had and incredible defense thanks to its anti-beam field generators. However, the Patulia needed a Newtype to be placed in a capsule as a power source. The Newtype's mind would be erased and dedicated to solely piloting the Patulia. This type of control allowed the Newtype to use the wired beam cannons in the same manner as the Bertigo's bits.

The Patulia was the key point in the Operation Lilac from the Space Revolutionary Army. The operation’s target was to send five RMSN-008 Bertigo units together with the mobile armor down to Earth. However, the Bertigo pilots were killed during atmospheric combat and the Patulia crashed onto the Earth. There it was discovered by former SRA scientist Nomoa Long, who hid it underneath Fort Severn. In AW 0015 Long used the artificial Newtype Carris Nautilis as a power source so that he could use the Patulia in his plan to get revenge on the Old Earth Federation. With the Patulia he destroyed most of Fort Severn but then the Newtype girl Tiffa Adil contacted Carris’ mind, allowing Freeden pilot Garrod Ran to break into the control room with his GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider and rescue Carris. Without a Newtype the Patulia crashed into Fort Severn.

The Patulia is also the largest Mobile armor in all Gundam series.
