BACKGROUND

With the outbreak of war, the Earth Alliance's Atlantic Federation began a secret project to develop mobile suits to counter ZAFT's mass-produced ZGMF-1017 GINN as well as operate free of interference from the N-Jammers. One of the first five prototype mobile suits was the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam. As the first prototype, the Duel Gundam served as a testbed for the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam and GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam. As a basic mobile suit, the Duel Gundam was designed for close combat. The armament consisted of two beam sabers, 'Igelstellung' Vulcan guns and a combination high-energy beam rifle/grenade launcher. Like the other prototype Gundams, the Duel Gundam was equipped with the new Phase Shift (PS) armor system. When in phase shift mode, the Duel Gundam was nearly impervious to attacks from shell-firing artillery or melee weapons. However, use of phase shift for extended periods of time was a massive drain on the battery-powered reactor.

In January CE 71, the Duel Gundam was stolen by ZAFT pilot Yzak Joule during ZAFT's assault on the neutral colony Heliopolis. Following the escape of the Earth Alliance battleship Archangel, Yzak and his Duel Gundam would continue to harass the Archangel's crew during the later period of the war. During one battle with Kira Yamato's Strike Gundam, the Duel Gundam was heavily damaged and Yzak's face was scarred. Afterwards, ZAFT upgraded the Duel Gundam to the "Assault Shroud" mode. With this upgrade, extra armor plates were fitted over the main body, along with several new weapons. These weapons included a 5-barrel missile pod launcher on the left shoulder, as well as a 115mm "Shiva" railgun on the right shoulder. With his upgraded mobile suit, Yzak vowed to get revenge on Kira for the scar he received. However, at the war's end in November CE 71, Yzak assisted the Clyne Faction in defending the PLANTs and was able to destroy both the GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam and GAT-X370 Raider Gundam.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE GAT-X102 DUEL GUNDAM:

• COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The GAT-X102 is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. Data readouts and stats can be displayed either on the cockpit's HUD display or on the dashboard monitors of the aircraft. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 1,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 75 targets simultaneously.
• EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
• LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
• OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: The GAT-X102 features a radio system that allows visual communication at close range through Minovsky Particles.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All EA MS’s come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The GAT-X102’s cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The EA flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot blacking out in combat.
• SHIELD: The Duel Gundam carries a heavy shield with anti-beam coating (DR 40 against beam weapons, DR 20 against conventional weapons).
• PHASE SHIFT ARMOR: The Duel Gundam is armored with Phase Shift Armor. When powered, it makes the Gundam immune to shell-firing and conventional melee weaponry (DR40). This takes 4 power per round.
• OPERATING SYSTEM (OS): The Duel Gundam’s initial OS was not complete when it was fielded. Until it is upgraded, the pilot takes a -6 on all pilot checks. The OS can be upgraded with a Use Computer check (DC 20). The check takes 20 minutes, -1 minute for each number beyond the check.
