MBF-02+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Rouge

The MBF-02+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Rouge is a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, piloted by Cagalli Yula Athha. It is a variant of the original Strike Rouge, built by the Orb Union, incorporating the AQM/E-X01 Aile Striker Pack for improved flight and combat capabilities. The Aile Striker enhances the Strike Rouge’s mobility, allowing it to perform atmospheric flight and engage in high-speed maneuvers, which are critical in the battle against the Z.A.F.T. forces.

In terms of armament, the Aile Strike Rouge is equipped with a 57mm high-energy beam rifle, a pair of beam sabers, Armor Schneider combat knives, and an anti-beam shield, making it effective in both ranged and close-quarters combat. The mobile suit’s versatility is further enhanced by its ability to adapt to different Striker Packs, allowing it to adjust to various mission requirements.

The Aile Strike Rouge plays a significant role in the series, notably appearing in key battles such as the Second Battle of Jachin Due and the Battle of Berlin, where Cagalli uses it to protect Orb’s sovereignty and fight for peace. Its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny further cements its place as a symbol of resistance and strength. The Aile Strike Rouge remains a fan-favorite due to its dynamic combat capabilities and its importance in Cagalli’s character development throughout the series.
