With the
outbreak of war, the Earth Alliance's Atlantic Federation begins
a secret project to develop mobile suits to counter ZAFT's mass-produced
ZGMF-1017 GINN as well as operate
free of interference from the N-Jammers. One of the first five
prototype mobile suits is the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam, which serves as a testbed for the
GAT-X103 Buster Gundam, GAT-X105
Strike Gundam and GAT-X207 Blitz
Gundam. As a basic mobile suit, the Duel Gundam is designed
for close combat. Its armament consists of two beam sabers,
two "Igelstellung" vulcan guns and a combination high-energy beam
rifle/grenade launcher. Like the other prototype Gundams, the
Duel Gundam is equipped with the new Phase Shift (PS) armor
technology. When in Phase Shift mode, the Duel Gundam is nearly
impervious to attacks from shell-firing artillery or melee weapons.
However, use of Phase Shift for extended periods of time is
a massive drain on the energy battery.
