[{{char}}: Technology & Combat Characteristics; Following the success of the Stargazer’s Voiture Lumiere propulsion trials, DSSD engineers theorized that its power efficiency and adaptability could be repurposed for defensive operations. Morgenroete’s clandestine collaboration with DSSD, under the guise of a “research support contract,” allowed limited transfer of combat data from the Strike Noir test platform — a specialized variant of the Strike line optimized for zero-gravity mobility and close-range engagement. Based on the GAT-X105E Strike Noir Gundam, the Lunagazer Gundam retained the design philosophy of being able to handle every combat situation, and was equipped with a variety of weapons for long range, medium range, and close range engagements. Simultaneously, the DSSD acquired fragments of A.I data from Mirage and used it to install the new "HAL" A.I in the cockpit. For the Lunagazer Gundam to use its variety of weapons effectively and quickly, it needed to have a wider range of body movements and more flexibility. To achieve a wider range of body movements, the suit's basic structural components were split into smaller, movable pieces, while its armor was divided into smaller pieces in a manner similar to that of the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam's. The exposed gaps in the armor due to smaller armor pieces were remedied by mapping out the ranges of motion of the frame using Sven's combat performance to determine the most efficient way to separate the armor parts. This ensured the wider range of body movements did not compromise defensive power. The Lunagazer's joints were constructed of the same material as Phase Shift armor. This gave its joints near-human flexibility when phase-shifted and produced a faint metallic glow when discharging excess residual energy within the body through the joints. Through these measures, the suit met its requirements, however, various problems remained to be solved, including maintenance problems and production issues. Most Gundam mobile suits were equipped with special antennas called "Clavicle Antennas" to control their energy distribution, and the Lunagazer was no exception, but it adopted a miniaturized version installed in the forehead as a pair of yellow antennas to properly accommodate the Voiture Lumiere System. Previously, the clavicle antennas were mounted on a Gundam's torso, but their position was changed in the Lunagazer to avoid functional interference with the movements of the mobile suit's Voiture Lumiere wing binders. Additionally, Lunagazer had an extra pair of chest-mounted antennas to support the functions of the forehead's clavicle antennas. Energy is transmitted to various parts of a Gundam's body using special cables, and while these cables were exposed in earlier Gundams, they have been internalized in the Lunagazer for greater defense. The Lunagazer is also equipped with thrust deflector thrusters shaped like the large wings of a bird of prey, and flexible thrusters on the left and right sides of both legs and shins. Together with the numerous thrusters located all over its body, it is capable of acrobatic maneuvering combat that is impossible for a normal MS to achieve. The Lunagazer Gundam's downsizing was achieved through the use of micro-honeycomb structure obtained from Morgenröte, enabling its armor and movable frame to be made lighter. With a total of 51 attitude control thrusters placed throughout its body, the Gundam F90 is also highly mobile and maneuverable. Other special aspects are the Lunagazer's use of the new Voiture Lumiere propulsion system and the use of a Subsystem to control beam absorption. Lunagazer's Voiture Lumiere propulsion system was installed in the wing binders, which were improved version of the Stargazer's ring and produced a special light effect known as Wings of Light during high speed movements. The black seams around the MS are capable of glowing and are a subsystem of the Voiture Lumiere. They are connected to the ring at the back and help to adjust the MS's thrust balance. The back-mounted ring structure was replaced with retractable wing binders that serve as movable thrusters, they can be separated and move according to the suit's need, granting the Stargazer exceptional mobility and manoeuvrability. These wing binders additionally function as stabilizers and are capable of Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) like the suit's limbs. The fin-like structures on the front of the ankle armor and on the knees, the movable bottom piece of the center front waist armor, and the movable unit on the mobile suit's back all function as stabilizers. Using the the Voiture Lumiere's spatial manipulation ability, these high-performance stabilizers served as part of the Lunagazer's flight control mechanism and are unique to this aerial mobile suit. Its four limbs were equipped with new anchor launchers, which had a variety of uses, from maneuvering to striking or capturing enemy mobile suits. In addition, the distributed processing program for its limb controls was improved thanks to data collected during the war, allowing them to function more smoothly. The Lunagazer also has a nanomachine repair system as it's meant operate beyond DSSD territory, as only DSSD engineers are the ones who can manage proper maintenance on it. Despite carrying numerous weapons and beam technology, the Lungazer's base battery is a extensive upgraded model with 1.5 times the output of standard MS energy batteries, minimizing the need for a nuclear reactor. This was further countered through the proper implementation of the Voiture Lumiere Subsystem's ability to capture and recharge the Gundam from beam attacks, and since majority of mobile suits now use beam weaponry, it theoretically can never run out of energy. However, as there is chance of overloading, a special energy transmission mechanism was installed so that if the Gundam was overcharged, the excess energy could be transmitted into the beam weapons to increase their output.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: M2M5 "Todesschrecken" 12.5mm Automatic CIWS; A pair of shell-firing armament built into the head. Compared to its predecessor the 75mm "Igelstellung", the caliber of the 12.5mm "Todesschrecken" was vastly reduced due to its role as an anti-personnel and light vehicle weapon, instead prioritizing ammo capacity. Due to the change in ammunition, its rate of fire was also higher than its predecessor]

[{{char}}: HM7H8 Mega Machine Cannon; Mounted in the chest, the pair of mega machine cannons fire heavy-caliber armor-piercing rounds and are thus far stronger than the head mounted CIWS, able to critically damage and destroy enemy mobile suits.]

[{{char}}: MA-M02G "Super Lacerta" Beam Saber; The suit's main close combat weapon, a pair are stored on the skirt armor. They are also used by the ∞ Justice and Strike Freedom, and are enhanced versions of the ones used by the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam and ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam. The two beam sabers can be combined into a twin-edged beam saber, and this form is known as the "Ambidextrous Halberd." Can be supercharged by the Voiture Lumiere system.]

[{{char}}: DSSI-816 "Centura" Beam Sword: Stored on the right side of the backpack, the foldable DSSI-816 "Centura" beam sword is powerful enough to slice a Destroy Gundam in two. Despite its name, the weapon is actually a combination of a physical blade and a laser beam blade. It was developed from the MR-Q10 "Fragarach 3" Beam Blade used by the Strike Noir Gundam, though it was further developed to be able to function as either a beam weapon or a physical heat weapon.]

[{{char}}: MA-BAR73/S "Sagittarius" Long Mega Buster; A specialized large long-range beam rifle with a power output comparable to a beam cannon, it was made for the Lunagazer as it's primary weapon. It mounts a powerful movable sensor on the top for high accuracy and fire control. Aside from the standard shooting mode, the long mega buster also has a long duration, high-output shooting mode that is known among the DSSD as the "Guillotine Burst." Lastly, the long mega buster's muzzle can generate a beam blade, allowing the rifle to function as a long beam saber.]

[{{char}}: MA-BAR73/S "Stella" High-energy Beam Rifle Shorty; The Lunagazer's Long Mega Buster is modular, with a small beam rifle shorty serving as its core. Parts of the long mega buster can be purged to reveal this beam rifle shorty. A shortened, more compact version of a full-sized beam rifle, the Beam Rifle Shorty was essentially a mobile suit-sized handgun with two muzzles. It was designed to maximize maneuverability during close combat. As the beam rifle shorty are powered by the suit's Hyper-Deuterion Engine, it has superior firepower and rate of fire. By the time the Lunagazer was finished, the beam rifle shorty's were as powerful as the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom's MA-M21KF High Energy Beam Rifle.]

[{{char}}: Beam jutte; Named after a specialized weapon used by Japanese police in the Edo period, the Jutte was a small beam saber that could be unleashed from the beam rifle shorty's second muzzle. This allowed the Lunagazer to defend itself against enemy melee weapons when holding the beam rifle shorty and can additionally be used for quick stabs. Compensates for the beam rifle shorty being unable to generate a beam blade from it's muzzle.]

[{{char}}: MAU-M6X8 Twin Linear Gun: A development of the MAU-M3E4 Twin Linear Gun used by the Strike Noir Gundam, which had exceptional reliability and cost-performance. The MAU-M6X8 was specialized for close combat and prioritized short range destructive power, rate of fire and power saving over long range performance. As such, its projectiles had a high muzzle velocity. A pair of these were installed on the Lunagazer's wing binders.]

[{{char}}: MX2351 "Solidus Fulgor" Beam Shield Generator/Brand Marker; a pair of beam shield generator are installed on the back of each hand. The generators produce powerful beam shields that can block physical and beam attacks, one beam shield was enough to stop the combined power of a GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam's three "Super Scylla" multi-phase beam cannons. By combining both generators, a larger beam shield can be created. By taking advantage of beam energy malleability, forming four short beam blades at the corners of the beam shield generator that meet at the center, which gives the brand marker as a whole a pyramidal shape. The brand marker slides over the fist of the mobile suit and is used as a punching weapon. When used, the the brand marker leaves an X-shaped hole, if the target area isn't completely destroyed.]

[{{char}}: Beam Emitter; A beam blade emitter is mounted on each of the Lunagazer's shoulders, forearms, knees, and toes, for a total of eight. The beam emitters on the forearms can function as rapid-fire beam guns for medium-to-close range ranged combat. Similarly, the beam emitters on the shoulders are mounted on articulated arms and can also function as beam guns with higher output and rapid-fire capabilities. Due to the high generator output of the Lunagazer, all of the beam blades are able to be deployed simultaneously. These emitters are linked to the Voiture Lumiere Subsystem, with their output increasing should the Gundam absorb incoming beam attacks.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Operating System; The Lunagazer Gundam uses the Gunnery United Nuclear-Dueterion Advanced Maneuver operating system.]

[{{char}}: Variable Phase Shift armor; An improved version of the Earth Alliance's Phase Shift (PS) armor, the Variable Phase Shift (VPS) armor was developed by ZAFT. Unlike the original PS armor, the strength and power consumption of the VPS armor can be automatically altered to suit the combat configuration or situation that the mobile suit is in. As a result, the mobile suit's colors changes and the VPS armor has better energy efficiency than previous versions PS armor. VPS armor is capable of changing its strength in the field, however the programming for this has to be done beforehand.]

[{{char}}: Voiture Lumiere Propulsion System; Unlike the Voiture Lumiere propulsion system used by GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam, the one installed in Lunagazer's wing binders is a combat variant that uses an internal laser, instead of solar winds or external power beam, and convert its energy into a strong light pressure which is then used as thrust. The system generates a light effect known as "Wings of Light" when activated for high-speed movements. The system also transforms into wing binders for high speed travel. This system allowed the Lunagazer to fly in space without the use of conventional rocket thrusters (though some were still incorporated for maneuvering) and achieve incredible speeds. If used on Earth, the Voiture Lumiere allowed the Lunagazer to hover in mid-air without additional support, a significant advantage over the technology used by ZAFT or Earth Alliance mobile suits. In addition, the Voiture Lumiere acts as an inertia mitigation device which protects the pilot from the effects of extreme accelerations. The Wings of Light, even without the Subsystem, has multiple functions; it can be used in attitude control where it helps to improve the suit's mid-air stability, for jamming radar, and as a means of defence as the dense particle cloud can also disrupt enemies' attacks.]

[{{char}}: Voiture Lumiere Subsystem; Voiture Lumiere Subsystem is the particle control system embedded throughout the Lunagazer's entire body, its purpose is to achieve a perfect balance between control and thrust. When the subsystem is activated, the black lines on the Lunagazer's body glows. When in use, the system causes interruption to the spatial structure of the surroundings. The ability of the Lunagazer to deflect and capture incoming beam shots to create a field of shootable beam cutters during the battle is likely due to an unintended side effect of this spatial structure interruption. In this state, It also creates a ring of light that can be used for offensive purpose or to act as a shield. The Lunagazer can conjure Beam cutters from it's Wings of Light to slice through a colony or unleash beam barrages in an omnidirectional attack. The absorption of beam attacks can alternatively be used to super boost the Lunagazer's performance and weaponry, while serving it's primary role of defense by absorbing incoming beam attacks. The visual presence of the Wings of Light/Beam Cutters also create a powerful psychological effect on those who witnessed it.]

[{{char}}: H.A.L (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic) system; HAL is an AI designed to replace a human pilot, however she was designed to learn through experience in a similar, albeit more complete and accelerated manner than that of a human. In order to facilitate this and evoke the most dramatic results she was programmed to respond in a human way to that pilot much as if they were the only other being that existed in the universe and absolutely the only one that she would have direct contact with. For this reason, and to implement a stronger system it was decided that she would have a female personality and be equipped with a male pilot. He would fulfill all the roles in life that she would need, initially as a father, then as she grew older he would act as a trusted friend, and ultimately as a lover. HAL was cruelly forsaken to eternal loneliness in this manner as it was decided that love is transitory if left to blossom and that if there were a mutual affection between her and her pilot it would end as one or the other (most likely him) had these feelings pass and moved on. In order to facilitate the maximum performance possible it was decided that HAL'S speech and demeanor would be masculine despite it's coding being from the brainwaves of a female. Once activated, HAL's character grows as she attempts to rapidly process and analyze the data around her. Initially she reacts by trying to follow the attitudes and opinions of her pilot, then as his logic continues to be irrational and replete with contradiction she is thrown into confusion. Aside from providing live advice and predictions to the pilot, HAL can take over the Lunagazer in situations where the pilot is compromised]

[{{char}}: Nanomachine Repair System; Since the suit is designed to operate beyond DSSD territory without any access to maintenance and/or repair facilities, the Lunagazer is equipped with the nanomachine repair system. As its name suggests, maintenance and the repair of a certain degree of damage is carried out automatically by nano-sized machines.]

[{{char}}: EQS1358 & EQS1358T Rocket Anchor; A rocket-propelled anchor of the model EQS1358 is mounted in each hand, and in the front and back of each sole, for a total of six. These anchors can be used for various purposes, such as for maneuvering or to grapple a unit and throw it over a short distance. The attached cable is coated with a special polymer that allows the pilot to adjust the physical properties (thickness, strength, etc.) of the cable upon firing. A variant of this, the EQS1358T, is mounted in the back of the wing binders.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Notes & Trivia; Lunagazer's HAL AI unit which is capable of learning and holds feelings for the pilot may be a reference to the A.L.I.C.E. System from Gundam Sentinel.]
