It fills out Alliance units in the opening episodes of the war, before the GAT-04 Windam begins to replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour of them open the Second Alliance-PLANT War: Phantom Pain's Girty Lue carries two Doppelhorn-equipped Dagger Ls and two black Dark Dagger Ls into Armory One while the Extended pilots steal three new ZAFT Gundams. Two of the four are destroyed by Rey Za Burrel in the debris belt, and the type goes on to guard Alliance bases on Earth and to fly with the fleet sent against the PLANTs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is the 105 Dagger with the cost taken out.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe basic structure follows the 105 Dagger, but the laminated armour is deleted to bring unit cost down and the design is simplified the way the Strike Dagger's was. That is what makes the production rate possible in the first place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Striker Pack fitting survives the cuts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nDespite the cheaper airframe the Dagger L still takes Striker Packs, so one hull can be flown as a Jet Striker machine for air combat or a Doppelhorn machine for anti-ship work, with the Sword and Launcher packs also compatible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe head guns are small on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nFour 12.5 mm Todesschrecken CIWS, two in the head and two on the shoulders, replace the 75 mm Igelstellung of earlier Alliance suits. The smaller round cannot hurt mobile suit armour, but it leaves room for far more ammunition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo of its knives are thrown, not swung.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Mk315 Stiletto is a rocket-propelled penetrator: thrown, then driven on by a vernier at its tail until it punches through armour and detonates.
