GS73: ΔA

The ∇ (read as "Turn Delta") is the Mobile Suit featured in the manga series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Δ ASTRAY. The unit were piloted by Ergnes Brahe.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The ∇ was designed by Lowe Guele who used Martian as well as DSSD technology to upgrade an MWF-JG73 Civilian Astray JG Custom into the ∇. When the GSF-YAM01 Δ Astray was severly damaged in a fight against the GAT-X105E Strike E, Lowe also salvaged the "Voiture Lumiere" light propulsion system of the damaged suit, upgraded it and refitted the ∇ with it. Since removing the Δ Astray's nuclear reactor might trigger its self-destruct system, ∇ uses conventional batteries instead. The Voiture Lumiere system was improved in order to keep its performance at same level with the Δ Astray while consuming less energy. The ∇ also has a Lumiere Shield ability, which allows it to capture incoming beam weapon fire and transform it into a field surrounding the unit that can be used as a weapon, similar to the GSX-401FW Stargazer.

Like its predecessor, the ∇ features only light weaponry, which comes in form of a single beam rifle and two beam sabers, which are fixed to each forearm.

Armaments

Beam Saber: Close combat beam weapon of the MS, ∇ mounts 2 beam saber fixed to the underside of the forearms.

Beam Rifle: A custom beam rifle created for ∇, it fires a charged energy beam that is highly effective against most targets, but is less effective against targets designed to take beam attacks, such as laminated armor or shields treated with an anti-beam coating.

System Features

Voiture Lumiere: The ∇ were equipped with the "Voiture Lumiere" beam wing propulsion system, an variant of the same system used in the GSX-401FW Stargazer of the DSSD. However, the "Voiture Lumiere" were improved, granting the ∇ not only superior agility but also the ability to capture incoming beam weapon fire and transform it into a field surrounding the unit that can be used as a weapon.

History

The ∇ was first used by Ergnes Brahe's older sister Setona Winters but was then given to Ergnes who used it after the loss of the Δ Astray. Ergnes would use the ∇ in several additional encounters with the Phantom Pain forces that continued to purse them while they were on earth, until he ultimately defeated both Emilio Bloderick, Dana Snip and their respective MS with some help form some Junk Guild Pilots. Some time later, Ergnes was attacked by Librarian Works which ultimately resulted in some damage being caused to the ∇ and as a result he visited Lowe in order for some repairs to be carried out. However upon hearing the gravity of the situation, he offered ∇'s Voiture Lumiere Engine to Lowe in order to upgrade the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame. With the Voiture Lumiere salvaged and installed into the Tactical Arms IIL and alongside "Tiger Pierce" katana left behind by Un'no after their previous battle, the MBF-P02Kai Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai was born.

Notes & Trivia

The Turn Delta might be a reference to the Correct Century's SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam and CONCEPT-X 6-1-2 Turn X.
