GN-009A Seraph Diver

The GN-009A Seraph Diver is a prototype amphibious mobile suit. It is a successor of the GN-009D Seraph Marine that served in the Battle of Eden with E-Carbon armor to reduce costs.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Seraph Diver is a fully customized GN-009D Seraph Marine used by KME Solutions. Although the unit is built from the same basic frame of the Seraph Marine, it was adapted with more advanced technologies during its development to improve its adaptability in amphibious combat.

The machine body was tuned for use by the ace pilots of the Sengoku Squad. It also incorporated design data from the Seraph Local Type, and because its head was designed to resemble that of the Local Type, it too became commonly known as a "Gundam".

History
In 2320 A.D., mid-October, on a day of foggy darkness, there had been an overwhelming difference in the number of Old Human Faction and ESF troops. It would only be a matter of time before Old Human Faction troops would break through the Bosphorus Strait, the entrance to the Black Sea. Until Sengoku Squad intervened from beneath the waves with "Gundam" type mobile suits.

After ESF troops defended The Bosphorus, a recording of the Seraph Diver was discovered by Old Human Faction forces.
