Special Equipment & Features[]
- Hardpoints for Striker Packs
- The Dagger is equipped with laminated armor to protect its vital areas. However, unlike the one used on warships, the armor used here is made of heat-resistant ablative gel DPX-30, which is more commonly used by warships for atmospheric re-entry. While this offered no increased protection against projectile weapons, it provided defense against mobile suit-scale beam weaponry.
History[]
Second Alliance-PLANT War[]
Battle of Heaven's Base[]
During Operation Ragnarök, several Jet Daggers participated in the defense of Heaven's Base against ZAFT.[1]
Foundation Conflict[]
In C.E. 75, numerous Jet Daggers were deployed by Blue Cosmos remnants that attacked Aldrin City in Africa. They easily overwhelmed the local ZAFT garrison, but were pushed back by a Compass strike team led by Kira Yamato in the STTS-909 Rising Freedom Gundam.[2]
