Technical and Historical Notes

Although the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam was initially deployed with three Striker packs, several more were designed later on. One of these designs was the combined GAT-X105+P204QX Lightning Strike Gundam. The Alliance sought to increase the Strike Gundam’s operating time by 150 percent through the use of a new Striker pack, but the first design proved a failure. Later on, Orb’s defense company Morgenroete stepped in and designed the P204QX Lightning Striker. The Lightning Striker featured an improved power pack design, along with extra cooling systems and battery packs. In addition, the Lightning Strike Gundam was armed with a Type 70-31 electromagnetic cannon, which could be stored as two separate pieces on the Strike Gundam’s forearms. The Lightning Striker pack was assembled in late C.E. 71 on the Kusanagi after the fall of the Orb Union. After its construction, the Lightning Striker pack was destroyed in combat during a test flight.
