GAT-01D Long Dagger

The Long Dagger is a Mobile Suit Variation from the series Gundam SEED.

History
The Long Dagger is one of several mobile suits dereived from the Duel. The -01D was originally to be named "Duel Dagger", however the name was switched to Long Dagger following ZAFT's capture of the X102. A high-performance machine for Coordinators, Combat Coordinators and Biological CPUs in the Alliance's employ, the main purpose of the Long Dagger was to gather data for the Natural-compatible OS of the Strike Dagger, using real combat situations to provide the data.

One Long Dagger pilot, Seven Socius, takes part in the Second Battle of Jachin Due, but is killed in battle against the ZGMF-X13A Providence. Several Duel Dagger pilots also take part, but most of them are killed by ZAFT's elite Joule Team.

Another Long Dagger was tested and stolen by insane "Combat Coordinator" Eleven Socius, and another was used by Jean Carry; a.k.a. "Glittering Star J", before he defected to the Three Ships Alliance and piloted an MBF-M1 M1 Astray at the end of the war.
