Some days later, the ''[[Archangel-class assault ship|Archangel]]'' entered the Debris Belt and deployed its Mistrals to gather resources and water.{{Ref|SEED|7}} ==Variants== ;*[[Kimera]] ==Gallery== ===Lineart=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Maw-01.jpg </gallery> ===Anime=== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> Mistral Front 01 (SEED HD Ep1).png|Front ([[False Peace]], HD Remaster) Mistral Underside 01 (SEED HD Ep1).png|Underside ([[False Peace]], HD Remaster) Mistral Destroyed 02 (SEED HD Ep1).png|Destroyed ([[False Peace]], HD Remaster) Mistral Rear 01 (SEED HD Ep7).png|Rear ([[The Scar of Space]], HD Remaster) Mistral Cockpit 01 (SEED HD Ep7).png|Cockpit (1) ([[The Scar of Space]], HD Remaster) Mistral Cockpit 02 (SEED HD Ep07).png|Cockpit (2) ([[The Scar of Space]], HD Remaster) Mistral Transporting Supplies 02 (SEED HD Ep7).png|Transporting supplies Mistral Cutting Ice 01 (SEED HD Ep7).png|Cutting ice ([[The Scar of Space]], HD Remaster) Mistral Transporting Ice 01 (SEED HD Ep7).png|Transporting ice ([[The Scar of Space]], HD Remaster) Mistral Transporting Supplies (Seed HD Ep12).png|Transporting supplies into the ''Archangel'' ([[Flay's Decision]], HD Remaster) </gallery> ==Appearances== {{Appearances}} ==References== <gallery hideaddbutton="true"> MAW-01 Mistral Lineart.jpg|Lineart, specifications & profile from "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E.
