Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Full Armor [Kestrel] is the result of the Gundam [Kestrel] being equipped with both the Maneuver Exterior and Armor Exterior parts. The Break Binders compensate for the reduced mobility caused by the Armor Exterior parts, but its propulsion was still judged to be insufficient, so the backpack is equipped with the Kestrel's standard laser rockets rather than the Maneuver Exterior's thermonuclear rocket engine. The missile launcher normally mounted on the left arm of the Armor Exterior has been replaced with two beam sabers.
History
It was launched shortly after the end of the Gryps Conflict to prevent a nuclear attack by the Titans fleet.
