Technology & Combat Characteristics

This mobile suit is optional equipment for the Lfrith Ur and Lfrith Thorn, renovated versions of the Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model. The Dawn of Fold has likewise used Lfrith as a base for its production. Named the Gundvölva, it lacks what is arguably the most crucial section of a mobile suit – a cockpit block. Instead, it houses components specialized for GUND Format reception functions. The unique construction allows Lfrith Ur and Lfrith Thorn to make use of its next-generation remote-controlled swarm weapon system, said to be one of GUND-ARM's superior features. In other words, the Gundvölva is essentially a GUND-BIT in the shape of a Gundam.

History

While the exact number of produced Gundvölvas remains unknown, six of them first appeared in the Rumble Ring. Along with the Lfrith Ur and the Lfrith Thorn, they were used to wreck havoc on the campus of Asticassia School of Technology, serving as a distraction for a primary objective: the kidnapping of Sarius Zenneli. Two were subsequently destroyed by Elan Ceres and Chuatury Panlunch respectively, while another two, directly controlled by Sophie Pulone and the Lfrith Ur, fought against Suletta Mercury and the XVX-016RN Gundam Aerial Rebuild. They would later fall victim to a Score 6 Override by the Aerial and were subsequently destroyed.

Three units remained and were stored with the two Lfriths in a hangar underneath the school. The remaining Gundvölvas would eventually be controlled by Norea Du Noc for a second attack on Asticassia. Two units would be very briefly controlled by Elan Ceres via the Lfrith Ur, after witnessing Norea's death at the hands of a Dominicus pilot.
