Technology & Combat Characteristics
Like the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam, the Another Trial Launcher Strike E is a long range bombardment mobile suit, however, it is superior in terms of power efficiency and operating time due to the use of VPS armor and the power extender. It is the GAT-X105E Strike E equipped with the Another Trial Launcher Striker, which is a modified version of the Launcher Strike's Launcher Striker Pack. Unlike the original in which the Combo Weapons Pod is mounted on the right shoulder, this new striker pack mounts the pod on a modified backpack as Strike E's right shoulder cannot mount it. When equipped with this striker pack, majority of Strike E's VPS armor turns green.
History
After their defeat at the end of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Δ Astray, Phantom Pain pilots Dana Snip and Emilio Bloderick were captured by Jess Rabble and his friends. Dana and Emilio subsequently led them to a secret research lab, where they managed to escape and took control of two Strike E units stored within the lab, using them to launch an attack. However during the battle, Emilio had a change of heart; he attacked and destroyed Dana's Launcher Strike E using his Sword Strike E, saving Jess and friends.
