Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Perfect Strike Gundam is a configuration of the Strike Gundam equipped with the "AQM/E-YM1 Multiple Assault Striker", which integrates the characteristics of the Aile, Sword and Launcher Striker Packs. A modified Aile Striker Pack served as the central unit of the Multiple Assault Striker, its main wings are moved back slightly for mounting the "Schwert Gewehr" Anti-Ship Sword and "Agni" Hyper Impulse Cannon, and four battery packs are attached to the back to deal with the increased energy consumption.
Although the Multiple Assault Striker enabled the Perfect Strike to fight in all ranges with powerful weapons, it has two major problems. Firstly, the added weight of the Multiple Assault Striker lead to a decrease in mobility, and secondly, the large variety of weapons make it difficult to operate them efficiently. Due to these issues, the Perfect Strike was only deployed in combat once, but it was able to exhibit high operability due to the skills of its pilot, Mu La Flaga.
History
Due to the high operational performance of the Striker Packs, the OMNI Enforcer leadership greenlit the development of the experimental AQM/E-YM1 Multiple Assault Striker. This development plan was partially intended as concession to the military-industrial complex, with little consideration for the wishes of those in the field. The Multiple Assault Striker was loaded onto the LCAM-01XA Archangel alongside the FX-550 Skygraspers. However, due to the judgement of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam's original pilot, Kira Yamato, it did not see use for a long time.
The Multiple Assault Striker was finally put to use by the Strike's second pilot, Mu La Flaga, to defend Orb Union from the invading OMNI Enforcer forces during the Battle of Orb. With the Perfect Strike Gundam, Mu destroyed many GAT-01 Strike Daggers and also fought against the GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam. The Perfect Strike did not see use after this battle, proving that Kira's prior judgement on the downsides of the Multiple Assault Striker was correct.
