Technology & Combat Characteristics
After the ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth was restored to 82% of its original configuration, it was stolen and sold. It was eventually recovered from an underground market in the Jupiter Sphere but had lost the majority of its armor and equipment. Volco Warren fitted the mobile suit with weaponry all over its body as a way of providing equipment support to Argi Mirage, who has yet to mature as a mobile suit pilot. The aim is to secure the advantage in combat no matter the situation via the effective use of weaponry. A larger backpack with improved thrust power is also mounted to offset the increase in weight, but with the removal of the Boost Armors, the Astaroth Rinascimento has become so unbalanced that now Argi is the only one who can properly pilot it.
History
The Gundam Astaroth was stolen and sold by Nanao Narolina soon after it was restored to 82% of its original configuration. Volco Warren searched high and low for the missing Gundam but to no avail. About six months later, Gianmarco Salerno found it at the underground market in Jupiter Sphere and bought it back for Volco. As the mobile suit has lost most of its armor and equipment, it was fitted with parts from other mobile suits to compensate and became the Gundam Astaroth Rinascimento. Volco was unsatisfied with this, but Argi Mirage, who had never seen Gundam Astaroth's original configuration, felt a rather odd affinity with the silhouette of the Gundam Astaroth Rinascimento.
