The Arms Astray PMC Custom is a Mobile Suit in the manga series Gundam SEED Frame Astray.

Combat Abilities

Intended as a non-combat suit, the Astray DSSD Custom only mounts a single shield on its left arm. When used in combat, the suit is equipped with a single KMS71/J beam pistol, the same model which can also be used by the GSX-401FW Stargazer. Being heavily customized by the DSSD for their needs, the Civilian Astray incorporates special technology to fulfill its purposes. One such change is the head, which mounts and upgraded sensor suit, which is protected by a visor designed to stop impacts with space debris. The most unusual change however are the suit's thrusters, which utilize an electromagnetic propulsion system. This system serves as a predecessor to the Stargazer's more advanced "Voiture Lumiere" propulsion system.

Armaments

• KMS71/J beam pistol

The same beam pistol used by the Stargazer, while low powered it does have a reasonable level of accuracy.

• Shield

A simple defensive armament mounted on the left arm meant to block attacks or objects the pilot cannot dodge. After enough damage it will break as it does not have any form of Phase Shift Armor.

System Features

• Upgraded sensor unit

An enahanced sensor unit in the head which is protected with a visor.

• Electromagnetic propulsion system

The predecessor to Stargazer's "Voiture Lumiere".

History
