The Nebula Blitz is a variant of GAT-X207 Blitz developed by the mysterious organization known as Librarian Works. First appeared in photo series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED VS Astray.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Similar to other custom mobile suits developed by Librarian, Nebula Blitz is compatible with Librarian Striker Packs. The Nebula Blitz is armed with GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam's "Trikeros" offensive shield system and "Gleipnir" Anchor on its right and left arm respectively. It also mounts "Maga no Ikutachi" Striker on its back, which is equipped with the energy absorption claws and harpoons, and are the same type as those used by MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Astray Gold Frame Amatu Mina Custom. Additional set of lancer darts and "Tsumuha no Tachi" claws are stored on the side armors and can be equipped on the left arm instead of the anchor.
Nebula Blitz's head is slightly redesigned and features improved sensor and heat exhaustion. The Mirage Colloid stealth system is utilised to perform a trick known as Mirage Colloid Teleport which can only be done by the Carbon Human, Lily Thevalley. In reality, there are several Nebula Blitz units, all piloted by Lily clones. The true nature of teleportation is that the engaging Nebula Blitz simply cloaks itself while another Nebula Blitz uncloaks and attack. This trick however has a restriction in that it cannot be used when an uncloaked Nebula Blitz is surrounded. To use this technique effectively, the Lily clones are assisted by a quantum communication ability (developed from the DRAGOON system) that allows them to be aware of each others location to coordinate their attack. As Librarian Works has 20 Lily clones, they also have the same number of Nebula Blitz. 11 Nebula Blitz was destroyed/damaged while the whereabouts of the remaining units were unknown. The red color scheme is a reference to Goud Veia's symbolic color and is personally requested by its pilot, Lily Thevalley.
Armaments
- "Gleipnir" Anchor
- The left forearm of the Nebula Blitz mounts the "Gleipnir" anchor, a weapon which can be fired to pierce or grip an enemy unit and then retrieved on a line.
- "Trikeros" Offensive Shield System
- Mounted on the right arm of the suit, the "Trikeros" offense/defense system is the main weapon of the Nebula Blitz and includes several features. For ranged weapon, the system mounts a 50mm high-energy beam rifle as well as three lancer darts that can be fired or handheld for close combat. The main weapon used in close combat is however a single beam saber which is mounted on the Trikeros. Lastly, the system can also used as a shield.
- "Maga no Ikutachi" Absorption Claws
- One of the most unique weapons of the Nebula Blitz are its two "Maga no Ikutachi" energy absorption claws, which are mounted on the striker pack that bears its name. This "claws" can drain energy from the batteries of enemy mobile suits, weakening them while at the same time recharging the unit's own battery.
- "Magashira no Hoko" Harpoons
- Mounted on the "Maga no Ikutachi" striker pack, they are a pair of harpoons equipped with Phase Shift technology and thus can penetrate virtually any armor, then be retracted by tether lines.
- "Tsumuha no Tachi" triple claw
- An additional weapon for melee combat, it is stored on the left side armor and can be mounted on the left forearm instead of the "Gleipnir" anchor or to replace the anchor if it is lost in combat.
- "Lancer Dart" hypervelocity kinetic energy penetrator
- A set of 3 additional lancer darts are stored on the right side armor, and can be mounted on the left forearm instead of the "Gleipnir" anchor or to replace the anchor if it is lost in combat.

History
Lily Thevalley is a Carbon human specially assigned to the Supreme Librarian and given a unique mecha, the Nebula Blitz. Un No attempts to fight her to test her strength but unknown to him, he is actually up against a team of clones. In the blink of an eye, the Lily clones in their Nebula Blitz crushes Un No who had attacked with a Katana-equipped ZGMF-1017M2 GINN High Maneuver Type II [1]. Nebula Blitz's first true battle however is with the Lowe Guele's MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame. Although the Lily clones defeated Lowe, they did not kill him as that was the order by the Supreme Librarian [2].
Later, a team of 6 Nebula Blitz was despatched to stop the Carbon Human clone of Rondo Ghina Sahaku, who had launched in his Mirage Frame 2nd Issue against order [2]. However, the strengthened Ghina managed to figure out the Mirage Colloid Teleport trick and together with his powerful MS, he totally destroyed the Nebula Blitz team. At around the same time, 5 Nebula Blitz was sent to attack Lowe. Just like Ghina, Lowe figured out the Mirage Colloid Teleport trick and using his MBF-P02Kai Astray Red Frame Kai, he managed to damage a Nebula Blitz and forced the others to retreat. Lowe then rescues the injured Lily clone[3]. The remaining 4 Lily clones later returned but were defeated by the resuced lily clone in Astray Gold Frame Amatu Mina Custom, Elijah in his Vent Saviour and Lowe in his MBF-P02Kai Astray Red Frame Kai [4].
Trivia
- The Red color scheme of the Nebula Blitz is a nod to Ple Two's mobile suit, the AMX-004 Qubeley Mk-II.
- The Nebula Blitz is the third mass produced Gundam in the Cosmic Era Timeline. The first time a Gundam that was mass produced is the MBF-M1 Astray, which is derived from the MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame. The second was the GFAS-X1 Destroy.
- Also, Nebula Blitz's mass production is also a reference on how the Qubeley got mass produced in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ.
