Technical and Historical Notes

The GAT-S02R N Dagger N is a special operations mobile suit based on the GAT-01A1 Dagger and GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam. In its model number, SO stands for "Special Operations," while the first N is for "N-Jammer Canceler" and the second N is for "Ninja." The N Dagger N is equipped with a nuclear engine, as well as a Mirage Colloid stealth system. The development team was officially dissolved in C.E. 72 upon signing of the Junius Treaty, which prohibited use of nuclear engines and Mirage Colloid. However, work actually continued as a secret "Ninja Works" project (hence the second "N" in its name). Multipurpose launcher ports distributed around body are usually fitted with grappling wires. The N Dagger N is armed with a "Schildgewehr" offensive shield system similar to the "Trikeros" system used by the Blitz Gundam. The "Hakenfaust" piercer lock is similarly inspired by the Blitz Gundam's "Gleipnir" rocket anchor. In addition, the N Dagger N is also armed with an anti-armor penetrator, as well as a pair of anti-armor swords and hand-mounted anchors. On October 2 C.E. 73, two N Dagger N units are involved in the Earth Alliance's surprise raid on ZAFT's Armory One PLANT, in which three new Gundam mobile suits are stolen. However, the two N Dagger N units are intercepted in space by PLANT test pilot Courtney Hieronymus' XMF-P192P Proto Chaos.
