SVMS-01OA Over Flag Astro Package

SVMS-01OA Over Flag Astro Package Type (aka Over Flag Space Type) is a variant of the SVMS-01O Over Flag that has been reconfigured for space combat. It is featured in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
With the advent of GN Drive Tau technology, many mobile suits that drew power from the Orbital Elevators were made virtually obsolete. Though GN Drive [T] suits had become the norm by A.D. 2312, nations such as the Kingdom of Suille and groups such as Katharon and even Celestial Being had acquired suits that drew power from the Orbital Elevator to supplement their forces. Also, the Earth Sphere Federation did not have the means to fully mass produce the GN Drive [T] for all of its members, so solar-powered suits were used as a stopgap measure. Though the original SVMS-01O Over Flag was limited to 10 units in A.D. 2307-08, the ESF decided to restart production of the Over Flag, though it is possible that some of the "new" Over Flags are heavily tuned Union Flags.

With the ESF government pursuing a policy of pacifism, the ESF Army had to make due with their resources. They began refitting older transformable MS, such as the Over Flag, for space combat. The Over Flag Astro Package Type uses the normal Over Flag (repainted in light blue) and equips it with a booster for greater mobility in space. The unit retains its Linear Rifle and has 2 Defense Rods instead of the normal 1.
