Combat Characteristics
This unit is a variation of the Orbit Flag, which itself is a space-type version of the Union Flag. Nicknamed "Colony Guard Flag", it is based on the SVMS-01AW Union Flag Orbit Package Astro Work Type. The Colony Guard Flag is given increased firepower, and tuned for patrol missions in colony construction and asteroid field conditions. As the Astro Work type is also equipped with weapons, only a few Colony types were manufactured - for cases where the Astro Work Type's equipment proved inadequate. The unit has shown its effectiveness when it was deployed as a trump card against terrorists attacking Lagrange Point 1. Both the Astro Work and the Colony Guard are mainly used in their MA forms. In the end, the Colony Guard Type is yet another proof of the incredible versatility of the Flag series, which includes Mobile Suits for use in space, on land and over the sea
Armaments
MLR-04 Crossfire 200mm Linear Rifle
A regular version of the XLR-04 experimental rifle used in the Union Flag Graham Aker Custom. Apart from its use as a weapon, the Astro Work Type can also convert it into a mass driver for transporting cargo containers
History
One incident where the Colony Guard type was deployed against terrorists attacking Lagrange Point 1. It is assumed that the terrorists were annihilated.
The other much lesser known event where another Colony Guard was used, was when Robert Spacey and Deborah Galiena stole one such unit to escape from one of the three orbital elevators, where the GN-X was being constructed. Because the two had found out about Alejandro's plans to betray and manipulate, they felt they were a certain amount danger, as they were involved in the production of the GN-X. Unable to steal a Varanus for their escape, the duo resorted to stealing a Colony Guard Type, which was kept for maintenance purposes instead. The duo were able to escape to a Union Space Clony Base at Lagrange Point 1, while easily evading asteroids under Ms Galiena's piloting. When asked what their plans were upon reaching safety, Robert Spacey suggested that the media be contacted. His contact in the media was Kinue Crossroad, who had interviewed him about the Gundams when he had only just recently became a Mobile Suit Development historian.
