The RX-80WR White Rider is a prototype mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The 1st prototype unit of the Pale Rider plan. It was created using the RX-80, the base unit used for Pale Rider units, and is installed with ZEUS, a special fire control assistance system and an early version of what would become the HADES system. The special system could not be downsized, resulting in an enlarged head with an unique design which resembles a crown. White Rider was mainly created to run the assist control system for HADES and for operation experiments using the composite weapon system, Shekinah. The prototype Shekinah was a weapon designed to test a high-power beam cannon. It was concluded that using it would lead to adverse effects where it would overload the MS and hinder the ability to use other beam weapons. Therefore, the beam output of the Shekinah considered for mass production was reduced. The unit fulfilled its objective when the Pale Rider was completed, it was then transferred to the Black Dog Squad, and deployed in actual combat during the North American Counteroffensive Operations.

Notes & Trivia[]
- Activating the ZEUS system in Battle Operation 2 shows the HADES emblem.
- The White Rider's crown and bow-like form of the Prototype Shekinah when firing its high output beam cannon are references to the Biblical White Rider, who wears a crown and carries a bow in his hand.
