If you've ever gazed upon the GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam, its form is likely to remain etched in your memory. The prominent circular design at the back not only serves as a distinctive focal point but also encapsulates the essence of power within this mobile suit. This Gundam model is truly unparalleled in its divine appearance. Embark on a journey to the farthest stars alongside the Stargazer Gundam, an experience you won't easily forget.
The GSX-401FW Stargazer stands as an innovative civilian-produced mobile suit, meticulously crafted for delving into the uncharted realms beyond Mars's orbit. This endeavor necessitates the incorporation of two groundbreaking attributes. Primarily, the magnitude of interstellar space, coupled with the constraints imposed by the speed of light and the confined cockpit space, renders the notion of human piloting for Stargazer's profound space odyssey implausible. To surmount this challenge, the Stargazer boasts a modular, dual-occupancy cockpit, strategically engineered for seamless interchangeability with an advanced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) system. This sentient A.I., an erudite learner, assimilates pilot data input to cultivate authentic piloting conduct, a repository drawn from human Stargazer pilots. To unlock its zenith potential, the A.I. necessitates assimilating pilot data of a cumulative ten-thousand-hour magnitude.
Concurrently, the Stargazer's second pivotal hallmark manifests in its pioneering Voiture Lumiere propulsion mechanism, meticulously tailored for interplanetary impulsion. Operating on the principle of ensnaring solar winds within a luminous curtain generated by the dorsal ring, this ingenious contrivance transmutes solar energy into potent luminous pressure, thereby propelling the suit. Alternatively, the system deftly harnesses external power beams, deviating from solar wind, to instigate forward momentum. Activating this system induces a spatial framework disruption within the vicinity, inadvertently yielding the unprecedented capability to deflect and harness incoming beam salvos, thus engendering a formidable field of beam cutters – an unintended outcome.
Remarkably, the ring structure gracing the suit's posterior serves a dual role, functioning as a maneuverable thruster, detachable and adaptive to the suit's exigencies, thereby conferring unparalleled agility to the Stargazer.
Augmenting this ingenuity are the luminescent seams adorning the mobile suit, an integral facet of the Voiture Lumiere subsystem. Intimately connected to the dorsal ring, these seams dynamically calibrate thrust equilibrium. Additionally, the Stargazer incorporates a cutting-edge nanomachine repair system, while intentionally forgoing weaponry in its design, earmarking its role as a pacifist entity. Notwithstanding, in instances of self-defense, the suit can wield the beam pistol synonymous with the UT-1D Civilian Astray DSSD Custom model.
