The MBF-P0X Gundam Astray Noir is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray B. It is piloted by Dante Gordigiani.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Gundam Astray Noir is a mobile suit used by mercenary Coordinator Dante Gordigiani. An improved Astray prototype produced as part of the Actaeon Project, it features a significant improvement in mobility resulting from the addition of the Noir Striker. Instead of the 57mm high-energy beam rifle of Strike Noir, the Astray Noir is equipped with a pair of Sword Pistols on the waist to complement Dante's fighting methods, who excelled at swordplay.

 * EQS1358T rocket anchor
 * A unique feature of the Astray Noir is the four EQS1358 rocket anchors. Each hand and foot mounts a single anchor. These anchors can be used to grapple a unit and are powerful enough to allow the Strike Noir to throw the captured unit over a small 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.
