A customized [[GAT-01A1 Dagger]] used by the Phantom Pain unit. Besides the change in colour, Slaughter Dagger is modified to be lighter and has its OS adjusted for better performance. Furthermore, it is equipped with an improved, higher output [[AQM/E-X01 Aile Striker]] as part of its standard equipment, granting it full flight capability in the atmosphere as well as improved mobility in space. The armament of the Slaughter Dagger is largely identical to the ones on the Dagger, except that it is equipped with a MX703G beam rifle instead of the handheld machine gun or the M703 beam rifle. Due to the use of the Aile Striker, an extra pair of beam sabers are also added to its armament. When neccessary, the Aile Striker can be replaced by other Striker Packs that are more suited for the situation. Like the Dagger, Slaughter Dagger has laminated armor to protect its vital areas.
The armament of the Slaughter Dagger is largely similar to the one of the original [[GAT-01A1 105 Dagger]]. It thus consists of two head-mounted "Igelstellung II" 40mm multi-barrel [[CIWS]] guns, two ES01 beam sabers for close combat, two foot-mounted 12.5mm anti-infantry guns to shoot down enemy soldiers on the ground and lastly a single physical shield for defense. The only difference lies in the optional hand armament. While the old 105 Dagger used a machine gun, the Slaughter Dagger is equipped with a more powerful MX703G beam rifle.
 
 
Since the Slaughter Dagger usually mounts the Aile Striker pack, the armament features two additional beam sabers, which are mounted on the pack. When another pack is mounted on the Dagger, the suit gains access to the additional armament of this pack. However the Slaughter Dagger is fully capable of mounting every known Striker pack used by the Strike Gundam, including the experimental IWSP and Lightning Striker packs, as well as the Jet Striker pack.

:A piece of armor almost as long as the Slaughter Dagger is used to intercept attacks that the pilot cannot, or will not dodge. The shield does not have phase shift armor, so it is not as durable as the Strike's armor, however it also does not drain energy each time it is hit. The shield's major advantage is that it is designed to block and absorb energy based attacks from weapons such as beam rifles and beam sabers, an ability the phase shift armor is unable to accomplish. However the shield has limits, for instance its ability to block an attack on the scale of a positron cannon blast is limited to halting the momentum while the shield and Strike Dagger itself will be destroyed.

During the first [[Bloody Valentine War]], the [[Earth Alliance]] created the 105 Dagger, a mass-produced variation of the prototype [[GAT-X105 Strike]]. The 105 Dagger was able to mount the same Striker Packs as the Strike but due to its high production cost, the EA instead mass produced the more simplified [[GAT-01 Strike Dagger]]. The Slaughter Dagger is a special variation of the 105 Dagger, which is largely similar to the old 105 Dagger, save for the darker color scheme. This model eventually became the standard mass production mobile suit for the elite [[Phantom Pain]] special forces unit under the command of [[Logos]]. As a result, the Slaughter Daggers were used in many inhuman operations which the Phantom Pain conducted both on Earth and in space.

In CE 73, a group of [[Mars|Martians]] which came with the ''[[Acidalium]]'' to the Earth Sphere to check the situation there and meet with representatives of all superpowers, had to fight against Slaughter Daggers several times. During the first meeting between the Mars group and members of the EA (which were actually part of the Phantom Pain), the group was "greeted" by Slaughter Daggers. Shortly afterwards, a battle ensued which the Martians eventually fled. The group then reached the [[Orb Union]] but the Phantom Pain insisted that Orb helped them destroy the Martians. To keep this operation a secret, five Orb pilots were given Slaughter Daggers, each mounting a different Striker Pack, to attack the ''Acdialium''. The whole task force was led by Phantom Pain and [[GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir]] pilot [[Sven Cal Payang]]. After the Mars ship left Orb's territory, the task force split up and attacked the ship. The Sword Slaughter Dagger, piloted by Hoskin Gira Sakato, used his rocket anchor to tether the ''Acidalium'' to the ground of the sea, while Gard Dell Hokuha in his Lightning Slaughter Dagger and Sars Sehm Elia in her Launcher Slaughter Dagger used the ranged weapons of their Striker Packs to attack the ship from afar. In the meantime, Vanfeldt Ria Lindsay in his Slaughter Dagger and Waid Rabby Nadaga in his Slaughter Dagger IWSP fought against the [[GSF-YAM01 Δ Astray]], piloted by [[Ergnes Brahe]].

Vanfelt is then shot down by Ergnes, while Waid's IWSP pack was taken by Sven (who had lost his own flight pack), causing the reckless Orb pilot to crash into the waters.

Some times later in space, a large Phantom Pain unit, which included several Slaughter Daggers attacked the [[Deep Space Survey and Development Organization|DSSD]] space station to steal the [[GSX-401FW Stargazer]]. During the attack, they fought against the much weaker [[UT-1D Civilian Astray DSSD Custom]] suit of the organization as well as the Stargazer. Eventually the Phantom Pain fleet was destroyed.

The GAT-01A2R Slaughter Dagger is a custom multi-mode mobile suit, it is featured in the ONA series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER and the manga series Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Δ Astray.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A customized GAT-01A1 Dagger used by the Phantom Pain unit. Besides the change in colour, Slaughter Dagger is modified to be lighter and has its OS adjusted for better performance. Furthermore, it is equipped with an improved, higher output AQM/E-X01 Aile Striker as part of its standard equipment, granting it full flight capability in the atmosphere as well as improved mobility in space.

Special Equipment & Features

  • Laminated Armor
Like the Dagger, Slaughter Dagger is equipped with a modified laminated armor 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.
The Slaughter Dagger retains the ability to mount Striker Packs like the original Dagger, granting it the ability to adapt to different combat situations easily.

History

During the first Bloody Valentine War, the Earth Alliance created the GAT-01A1 Dagger, a mass-produced version of the prototype GAT-X105 Strike. The Dagger is able to mount the same Striker Packs as the Strike but due to its high production cost, the EA instead mass produced the more simplified GAT-01 Strike Dagger. The Slaughter Dagger is a special variation of the Dagger used by Phantom Pain special forces unit under the command of Logos. As a result, the Slaughter Daggers were used in many inhuman operations which the Phantom Pain conducted both on Earth and in space.

In CE 73, a group of Martians came with the Acidalium to the Earth Sphere to check the situation there and to meet with representatives of all superpowers. During the first meeting between the Martians and members of the EA (which were actually part of the Phantom Pain), the group was "greeted" by Slaughter Daggers. Shortly afterwards, another battle ensued and the Martians eventually fled. The group then reached the Orb Union but the Phantom Pain insisted that Orb helped them destroy the Martians. To keep this operation a secret, five Orb pilots were given Slaughter Daggers, each mounting a different Striker Pack, to attack the Acdialium. The whole task force was led by Phantom Pain and GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir pilot Sven Cal Payang. After the Mars ship left Orb's territory, the task force split up and attacked the ship. The Sword Slaughter Dagger, piloted by Hoskin Gira Sakato, used his rocket anchor to tether the Acidalium to the ground of the sea, while Gard Dell Hokuha in his Lightning Slaughter Dagger and Sars Sehm Elia in her Launcher Slaughter Dagger used the ranged weapons of their Striker Packs to attack the ship from afar. In the meantime, Vanfeldt Ria Lindsay in his Slaughter Dagger and Waid Rabby Nadaga in his Slaughter Dagger IWSP fought against the GSF-YAM01 Δ Astray, piloted by Ergnes Brahe. Hoskin eventually was defeated by Nahe Herschel in his GSF-YAM02 Guardshell, while both Sars and Gard were taken down by ZAFT pilot Isaac Mau in his TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound, who accompanied the Acidalium on orders from PLANT Supreme Council chairman Gilbert Durandal. Vanfelt is then shot down by Ergnes, while Waid's IWSP pack was taken by Sven (who had lost his own flight pack), causing the reckless Orb pilot to crash into the waters.

In CE 74, several Slaughter Daggers under the command of Sven were used to completely destroy a supposed terrorist camp. Some times later in space, a large Phantom Pain unit, which included several Slaughter Daggers attacked the DSSD space station to steal the GSX-401FW Stargazer. During the attack, they fought against the much weaker UT-1D Civilian Astray DSSD Custom as well as the Stargazer. Eventually the Phantom Pain fleet was destroyed.
