As the New UNE's goal became more focused on space conquest, as well as the recovery of the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X, Olba Frost's NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron was in dire need of an upgrade. The Ashtaron was upgraded into the NRX-0015-HC Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab. The Hermit Crab retained its mobile armor mode, but the devastating atomic scissors were upgraded. The Frost brothers also installed an optional satellite cannon for use in its mobile armor mode. The Hermit Crab functioned as a turret in this mode, allowing Shagia's NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break to collect the energy from the Moon and fire the satellite cannon. The Frost brothers would use this new weapon indiscriminately against both sides of the war in space, but ultimately the were outgunned by the Gundam Double X's twin satellite cannon at the end of the 8th Space War.
