GAT-01A2R+AQM/E-X4F Slaughter Dagger Exus

The GAT-01A2R+AQM/E-X4F Slaughter Dagger Exus, more commonly referred to simply as the Slaughter Dagger Exus or X Dagger is a specialized variant of the GAT-01A2R Slaughter Dagger utilized by the renegade Phantom Pain unit following the conclusion of the Second Bloody Valentine War. It's only known pilot was the biological CPU, Connor Algrade. This suit appears in the series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Belief.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
Developed as a successor unit to the GAT-01A1+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Dagger, though using the TS-MA4F Exus as its basis. While the plans for the unit were completed by CE 73, Phantom Pain's resources were instead directed elsewhere and the equipment wasn't completed until after the Second Bloody Valentine War.

Similar to its predecessor unit, this is unit is capable of using the mounted Striker Pack's wire-guided Gunbarrel pods (though these could only be truly utilized by a pilot possessing higher spatial awareness) to perform multi-directional attacks. This, combined with the Slaughter Dagger's standard armaments, creates a highly effective space-combat mobile suit (though the Gunbarrels can also be utilized as linear beam guns while within gravity).

Two units were built, the first being the only one that saw combat at any stage. A second, more refined, unit was created with an improved on-board computer system to allow any pilot to use the Gunbarrels in combat though it was never deployed, instead being seized by combined ZAFT and Terminal Forces during the Clyne Liberation Incident.
