Technical and Historical Notes

Unlike the other Gundam prototypes, the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is intended to operate in many environments and various mission roles. The GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam is designed specifically for flight and mobility. In space, the additional thrusters make the Strike Gundam more maneuverable. On Earth, the AQM/E-X01 Aile Striker pack allows the Strike Gundam to make high jumps and fly briefly. Aside from the extra thrusters, the Aile Striker pack adds two beam sabers to the Strike Gundam's armaments. Additionally, the Aile Striker pack is capable of docking with the support fighter FX-550 Sky Grasper. Because of its extra mobility, the Aile Striker pack is the most widely used of the Striker packs in space and on Earth.
