Technical and Historical Notes
During the First Earth Alliance/ZAFT War, the Alliance creates the GAT-01A1 Dagger, a mass production version of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. Unlike the Alliance's first mass production suit, the GAT-01 Strike Dagger, the Dagger series is compatible with the Strike Gundam's Striker packs. The GAT-01A2R Slaughter Dagger mounts the Aile flight pack. The Slaughter Dagger features most of the same armaments as the Dagger, but it carries a beam rifle instead of a machine gun. In addition to those standard armaments (which already include a pair of beam sabers), the Aile pack includes two additional beam sabers. The Slaughter Dagger is outfitted for use by the Alliance's secret Phantom Pain unit. However, five units are given to the Orb Union, following the signing of a security treaty between Orb and the Alliance in late C.E. 73. Their mission: pursue a group of Martian citizens on Earth, including GSF-YAM01 Δ Astray pilot Agnes Brahe. Although the units are piloted by Orb pilots, they fall under the command of Phantom Pain pilot Sven Cal Bayang.
