Technical and Historical Notes

The GNW-20000/J Jagd Arche Gundam was the heavy armament configuration of Ali al-Saachez’s GNW-20000 Arche Gundam. The Jagd Arche was designed to handle a large enemy force on its own and used weapons based on the armaments of the Gundam Thrones series. The Jagd Arche’s basic combat tactic was to isolate the enemies using the pair of GN Stealth Fields, then use the long-range attack capability of the GN Launcher to launch a first strike, and finally tear the confused enemies apart at close range with the GN Buster Swords. The main weakness of this equipment was the drop in mobility due to the heavy armament. As a result, it was only used to fight large groups and is not deployed against a small elite force like that fielded by Celestial Being. The newly added skirt armor (the rear and the front middle piece) improved the suit’s defensive capability and contained a large GN Condenser. The latter helped to solve the increased energy consumption caused by the added weaponry. The GN Containers on the hips could be equipped with GN Fangs or GN Missiles. They also contained the suit’s stealth field generators, which could disrupt the enemies’ search and communication capabilities in a wide area, thus breaking the coordination between enemy forces. As a result, the Jagd Arche could destroy the large group of enemies one-by-one with ease.
