GNSS-X-1D Dash Gundam

History
The GNSS-X-1D Dash Gundam was originally intended to be a partner unit for the Rush Gundam. It was equipped with it's own GN-Drive and featured it's own set of additional equipment. The mobile suit was the second to be equipped with a GN-Drive under Star Strike. The mobile suit was to be piloted by Strafe Lendardo. Unfortunately events didn't go as planned.

During a raid by forces lead by Milliardo Consulo against Atlantis Base, important data was stolen about the GNC-EX and it's successors, the Rush Gundam and GNC-2 Agas. This data also contained the location of the newly finished Dash Gundam, which was construced and stored on an secluded island in the pacific. Milliardo personally assaulted the base and stole the Dash Gundam.

The Dash Gundam would be used during the final battle of the War Against Karith, in which Milliardo piloted it against Ransac in his Rush Gundam. The evenly matched skills and mobile suits eventually left each other nearly non operational due to extensive damages. The battle ended with the defeat of Milliardo and the Dash Gundam, but not the destruction of either. Milliardo replaced the severely damaged GN-Drive with a Tau Drive from the ESF and joined A-LAWS using it. Eventually the suit would be replaced with the Masurao Samurai, which incorporated features from the Executus, Masurao, and Dash Gundam.
