The Gawain is Christopher vi Athena's main Knightmare frame in my fanfiction. Originally a prototype model made by Camelot, it grew into an impressive vessel.From 7th to 11th generation, the Gawain progresses through the storyline until it becomes one of the first space-capable Knightmare Frames.

=Gawain Stage 1= A 7th generation Knightmare Frame built by the Camelot group, the Gawain is an experimental unit. It is armed with 10 finger slach harkens, a vibration axe, and a VARIS rifle. The Gawain proved vital to Britannian forces in the Paris Revolt and in the Normandy campaign.

=Gawain Valkerie= When Camelot's main pilots became the Knights of Camelot, the frames are deployed to deal with the Egypto-Arab Alliance. During a battle on an E-A air station, the Gawain's arms are blown away by an enemy Knightmare and the Gawain is sent plummeting toward the ground. In mid-battle, the Guinivere launches a series of upgrades unveiling the Gawain Valkerie. The Valkerie is an eigth generation knightmare frame. It has been equipped with an integrated float pack. The Blaze Luminous emitters have been doubled. The Gawain also recieved shoulder mounted Hadron Cannons. The new druid system greatly enhanced the Gawain's sensor abilities. The Gawain causes severe damage to the stations float system, causing Chris to realize his frame had grown too powerful for combat among allied units. He constructs the Shinkiro as his primary Knightmare frame.

After the first use of the Valkerie. Chris orders the Gawain to be completely rebuilt. It becomes the Gawain Olympus. The new Gawain features a 2 seat cockpit. Its Hadron Cannons have been upgraded to Astral Hadron Cannons, which are stronger and wider. The Hadron Rifle is replaced by two Super VARIS rifles.

The Gawain is also capable of wielding the powerful Nova Gravitational Cannon. This handheld rifle has two settings, high and low density. Low density contains 10 shots while high contains only 2. The cannon fires a "bullet" which contains the device which creates the micro-singularity (tiny black hole). This sucks in all matter within range. Once it reaches optimum density it explodes converting all matter it sucked in into the energy released in the explosion. High-yield affects a larger area and thus creates a much larger explosion. Along with these upgrades, the Gawain also gains the ability to operate and fight underwater.

When Earth is attacked by a race of beings known as the Adaptors, the Knights of Camelot become Earth's main line of defense. The frames are enhanced with new forms of flight that allow for space travel. Instead of putting on a space wing pack, the Gawain's float pack is enhanced and it puts on optional Repulsor boots.

The Olympus is an 11th generation Knightmare frame. It is space-capable. It has an operational cloaking device, rendering it invisible to the eye and to sensors.

By the time the Gawain has reached this stage, Chris is no longer afraid to use such a powerful frame in combat. He changes back to using the Gawain as his primary knightmare.
