| One of the first mass-produced, general pupose mobile suits built by the New Earth Federation military, the NRX-009 Valient was designed as a multi-role unit capable of both ground and aerial combat. Intended as a replacement for the aging DT-6800 Daughtress series, the Valient's design soon proved its worth, and its model number was changed to NR-001 as production of the Valient went into full swing. The Valient was outfitted with a good balance of weaponry for its multi-role duties, particularly in aerial combat, as both of its arms were free to act and use weapons while in flight. |
