GAT-FJ108 Raigo Gundam

The Raigo Gundam Mobile Suit developed by the Earth Alliance appeared in the manga series Gundam SEED Frame Astrays.

Combat Characteristics
Developed from the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam and its successor the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam, The Raigo is considered a "distant cousin" of both mobile suits due to it's variable weapons pack. Using its Striker Packs, the Raigo can be outfitted for all-purpose combat (Speculum Raigo), heavy assault (Sumbullet Raigo) or heavy melee combat (Caliburn Raigo). Design wise, the Raigo is simply an extension of the Strike's frame, allowing for a multi-role function like the Impulse and the Strike. Equipped with the latest technologies such as Variable Phase Shift armor and beam technology, one of the Raigo was used by Lucas O'Donnell.

Beam Saber
Stored in the Aile Striker is a pair of beam sabers. These are the primary close range combat weapons and can slice through any armor that does not have an anti-beam coating.

Beam Rifle
Another add-on to the regular Strike, the beam rifle can optionally be stored on the rear waist. This is the primary mid to long range combat weapon and can easily destroy a GINN with one shot, but is mostly ineffective against suits with anti-beam coating.

Caliburn Striker
The Raigo's Equivalent to the Sword Strike Pack, the weapon system increases the Suit's Close Combat capabilities and fully utilizes it's weapons, including the "Panzer Eisen" rocket anchor and the "Schwert Gewehr" anti-ship sword. It also armed with "Caladbolg" large beam saber.

Speculum Striker
Similar to the Alie Striker, the Speculum Striker increase Raigo's mobility in both Earth and space. It's only standard armament is it's Beam Rifle as well as it's Shield. The placement of thrusters were rearrange to made it flight capable.

Sumbullet Striker
Like the Launcher Striker, the Sumbullet Striker gives the Raigo long ranged combat capabilities. It's armaments were the same as the Launcher like the "Agni Kai" hyper impulse beam cannon and the 8-tube missile launchers, but also adds the "Todesblock Kai" plasma-sabot cannon for more fire power.
