Technical and Historical Notes: Late during the war between the Alliance and ZAFT, a new faction emerges consisting of supporters of Lacus Clyne, the remaining Orb forces and the rebel Alliance battleship Archangel. To fight both armies, this new faction needs as many mobile suits as it can get. One such unit is the MBF-02 Strike Rouge, which is built completely from spare parts for the original GAT-X105 Strike Gundam stored on the battleship Kusanagi. The Strike Rouge is nearly identical to the original Strike Gundam. The Strike Rouge features a battery extender to extend its use of Phase Shift armor, and this extender shifts the unit's colors to a pink scheme. It also features the Natural use OS developed by Kira Yamato, along with a pilot-assisting computer AI system. The Strike Rouge is deployed near the war's end in September C.E. 71 and is used by former FX-550 Sky Grasper pilot Cagalli Yula Athha. Although Cagalli uses the Strike Rouge for a very limited time, she rescues Athrun Zala when he plans to self-detonate his ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam to destroy the doomsday laser GENESIS. Following the destruction of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, Kira uses the Strike Rouge to travel to space and defend the Eternal from a ZAFT attack. The Strike Rouge's color scheme is shifted back to that of the original Strike Gundam, and its specs are changed back to Kira's custom settings. Although Kira reaches the Eternal in time, the aging Strike Rouge is no match for ZAFT's newest suits and is heavily damaged in battle.
