Technical and Historical Notes

The MBF-M1 Astray serves as the Orb Union's first mass produced mobile suit during the first Earth Alliance/ZAFT war. In the postwar period, Morgenroete develops the EF-24R flight rotor Shrike pack as an add-on for the M1 Astray. The Shrike pack attaches to the M1 Astray's flight pack and gives it the ability to hover across land or water. Otherwise, the M1 Astray Shrike is identical to the original M1 Astray.
