Technology & Combat Characteristics
The A-Laws' Ahead is a highly versatile mobile suit and thus used as the testbed for custom machines as well as to search for various developmental directions. Although this versatility also resulted in the Ahead having high performance, some of the custom machines derived from it had adopted an opposite approach, focusing on specialization. This is to better counter the Gundams, whose potential lies in their specializations, causing them to remain a viable threat in certain situations. As implied by its official name, the "Ahead Close Combat Type", this mobile suit is specialized for close combat, and it is commonly known by its development codename of "Sakigake".
The Sakigake was developed with A-Laws' pilot Mr. Bushido in mind and modified accordingly. Since the Sakigake was designed for close combat, its main armament is a large, high-output GN Beam Saber, while its ranged armaments are limited to the low firepower GN Vulcans and GN Short Beam Cannons that are mainly for restricting enemy movements.
