Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: SD Gundam GSX-401FW Stargazer

This is SD Gundam GSX-401FW Stargazer. In late C.E. 73, the Deep Space Survey & Development Organization (DSSD) develops an advanced space exploration mobile suit, the GSX-401FW Stargazer. As part of its exploration mission, the Stargazer is intended to be unmanned and controlled by Artificial Intelligence. In addition to the advanced AI, the Stargazer includes the new “Voiture Lumiere” interplanetary propulsion system. A laser fired from a DSSD satellite hits the “Voiture Lumiere” ring, propelling the Stargazer and allowing it to build up speed over time as it travels between planets. The “Voiture Lumiere” system is also utilized by the Martian GSF-YAM01 Δ Astray, and variants are used by the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam and ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam. As part of its autonomous design, the Stargazer is equipped with a nanomachine repair system. Although the Stargazer is intended as a non-combat unit, it does have defensive and offensive capabilities. The Stargazer can deflect and capture incoming beam shots to create a field of beam cutters. In addition, it can use the beam pistol utilized by the UT-1D Civilian Astray DSSD Custom. When used in combat, the Stargazer’s AI unit is replaced with a cockpit block for two pilots.
