{"title":"GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003eGSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam is the title machine of the OVA \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER\u003c\/em\u003e (2006, Cosmic Era 73). It was built by the Deep Space Survey and Development Organization, a civilian body, to survey the solar system out past Mars rather than to fight. Test pilot Sol Ryuune L'ange gave it the name, with Selene McGriff in the operator's seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suit was shipped to the Trojan station to fit its propulsion ring. When the Earth Alliance's Phantom Pain group sent a ship to seize its control AI, DSSD swapped the AI block for a two-seat cockpit and put it into combat. Against the Slaughter Dagger unit it uses speed and its own drive's side effects to stay out of reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe chest is a swappable module.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nLong-duration survey work was expected to be flown by a learning computer, so the suit was designed around an AI unit in the chest that must absorb ten thousand hours of pilot data before it performs. For a crewed sortie the block is exchanged for a two-seat cockpit. GUNDAM stands here for Guider UNmanned Deployment Autonomic Manipulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe ring is a solar sail that also eats beams.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nIts Voiture Lumiere catches the solar wind on a curtain of light and turns it into thrust, and can also run off a power beam aimed at it from outside. Running it stirs the surrounding space enough that incoming beam fire is deflected and can be gathered into shootable blades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not armed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nDSSD fitted a nanomachine repair system instead of weapons, and the only gun aboard is a KMS71\/J beam pistol shared with the Civilian Astray DSSD Custom, a sidearm for self-defence. Its armour is thinner than a combat suit's for the same reason.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe black seams on the body are part of the drive.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThey glow while the ring is in use and are wired back to it to trim the suit's thrust balance.
