Technology & Combat Characteristics
A GN Drive Tau-equipped mobile suit stored at the top of the huge mobile armor GNMA-XCVII Alvatore, the GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron is actually the main body, with the mobile armor being merely its enhancement parts. The Alvaaron is in a seated position when stored on the Alvatore, with its four limbs pointing forward and a GN Beam Rifle held in each hand. In this state, the Alvaaron's lower body is surrounded by the Alvatore's parts, while its upper body is mostly covered by its back-mounted wings, except for its head and part of its GN Beam Rifles' barrels, integrating the mobile suit with the rest of the mobile armor. It was also thought to have incorporated feedback from the Gundam Thrones' and the GNX-603T GN-X's data, but aside from having the same GN Drive Tau, the Alvaaron's design had little in common with these machines. The Alvaaron shares the same gold color scheme as the Alvatore, which is due to a special coating that is capable of diffusing certain beam shots, and the mobile suit's GN Drive Tau emits the same gold-colored GN Particles as the mobile armor's, though this color is believed to have no special effect and is merely for cosmetic purposes.
The Alvaaron's cockpit also serves as the Alvatore's cockpit and has two sets of controllers, one for each machine. The Alvatore's controllers are on the sides of a central independent console located in front of the pilot seat, while the Alvaaron's controllers are on the sides of the seat.
History
The GNMA-XCVII Alvatore was defeated after an intense battle, however the fight was not over – the GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron stored on the top of the mobile armor was untouched. From the wreckage of the mobile armor, the Alvaaron fired one of its GN Beam Rifles and caught GN-001 Gundam Exia's attention. The Alvaaron then revealed itself to Exia, discarded the GN Beam Rifle in its right hand in favor of the GN Beam Saber, and charged towards the Gundam. After a brief clash of blades, the Alvaaron kicked the Exia away. It then dodged a few beam shots from the Gundam before deploying its GN Field to block further attacks. The Alvaaron subsequently counterattacked with multiple shots from its remaining GN Beam Rifle and when the Exia evaded them, Alvaaron fired its Beam Cannon at the Gundam to finish it off.
Unexpectedly, Exia dodged the powerful shot using Trans-Am and Alvaaron was forced to deploy its GN Field to protect itself from the Gundam's surprise attack. The two exchanged a number of beam shots, with Alvaaron using a mix of evasive maneuvers and its GN Field to avoid a direct hit. The GN Field was eventually penetrated when Exia switched to the GN Short Blade, and Alvaaron was stabbed in its left arm. The Alvaaron tried to retaliate with its GN Beam Saber, but before it could bring the weapon down, Exia sliced into its right arm and wing with the GN Long Blade. This attack also shut down Alvaaron's GN Field, and the mobile suit was further stabbed in its chests and arms by the Exia's GN Beam Sabers and GN Beam Daggers respectively. The Alvaaron then received the fatal blow, a slash across its torso from Exia's GN Sword, cutting into its cockpit. The mobile suit then blew up a few seconds later.
