Jagd Arche Gundam

---

A heavily armed variant of the GNW-20000 Arche Gundam, the Jagd Arche Gundam was designed for fighting a large enemy force by itself. Some of the Jagd Arche's equipment were derived from those used by the GNW-001 ~ 003 Gundam Throne, and they have proven to be effective in actual combat. Furthermore, they also enabled the Jagd Arche to take on the separate roles of the three Gundam Thrones all by itself. The Jagd Arche's basic strategy is to first isolate and disrupt the enemy force using its GN Stealth Field, then launched pre-emptive, long-range bombardment with the GN Launcher, and finally destroy each of the confused, scattered enemy units in close combat using a pair of GN Buster Swords.

The GN Launcher and GN Buster Swords are mounted on the Jagd Arche's backpack, and they used the same type of mounts as those of the Gundam Thrones'. As for the GN Stealth Field, its generators are built into the new side-mounted GN Containers, which also stored 12 GN Fangs that could be replaced by GN Missiles. The Jagd Arche also has additional front and rear waist armor, and besides enhancing the mobile suit's defensive power, these armor have integrated large GN Condensers to cope with the increased GN Particles consumption caused by the added equipment. The main weakness of the heavily armed Jagd Arche is the reduction in mobility due to its increased weight, thus it was only used for fighting large enemy force, and not against a small elite unit, such as the Celestial Being's Gundams.

GNW-20003 Arche Gundam Drei

---

Piloted by Nena Trinity (ネーナ・トリニティ, Nēna Toriniti) is a character introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Nena is the youngest member of Team Trinity and the pilot of GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei in Season 1. In Season 2, in addition to Throne Drei, she also pilots the GNW-003/SH Liang.

Developed by the Innovators, the Arche Gundam Drei is a combat support variant of the GNW-20000 Arche Gundam and incorporated the combat support functions of Nena Trinity's GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei.Also known simply as Arche Drei, it can deploy GN Stealth Field like the Throne Drei, but all of its capabilities, including combat power, are much strong than the latter's.Although a support unit, Arche Drei has sufficient combat capabilities of its own. A member of the Innovators, Regene Regetta, had proposed the development of Arche Drei as a support machine for Arche. However, in truth, he had colluded with Nena, and Arche Drei was meant to be Nena's new mobile suit so that she could seek revenge on Arche's pilot, Ali al-Saachez, who killed her brothers four years ago.Regene suggested Arche as the base unit for Nena's new machine because it is the most advanced mobile suit in the Throne series, and she is accustomed to piloting Throne series unit.

The Arche Drei's basic body structure is almost identical to Arche's, except for changes to its head and side-mounted GN Fang Containers, as well as the removal of toe-mounted GN Beam Sabers.As a result, it inherited Arche's basic combat performance and the Core Fighter escape unit. While Arche Drei's head was based on Arche's, it is bigger and vestiges of Throne Drei can be seen in its design. The increase in size is said to be related to control mechanisms for the GN Stealth Field. The Arche's GN Fang Containers were replaced by new armor with a shape that resembled Throne Drei's GN Shield, and although this new armor still carried the wireless, remote weaponry called GN Fangs, their numbers were reduced to one per armor. The shape of Arche Drei's backpack is similar to Throne Drei's, and is likewise equipped with mechanisms for deploying the GN Stealth Field. This backpack is attached to Arche Drei using the same backpack mount as the GNW-20000/J Jagd Arche Gundam's.

As Arche Drei was developed for combat support, its armaments differed from Arche's and were meant for self-defense. Besides the aforementioned GN Fangs, its other armament is a forearm-mounted GN Handgun, which has a GN Beam Saber Mode for close combat.Despite its limited armaments, Arche Drei still has high combat capabilities due to its excellent basic performance.Nena envisioned that if Arche Drei battles Arche, the large amount of GN Particles scattered through its GN Stealth Field would disrupt Arche's communications, radar, and control of GN Fangs, and also cause beam shots to diffuse. This would leave Arche with only close combat using its GN Buster Sword and line-of-sight, while Arche Drei can easily locate Arche and use its beam weaponry without issues as it could control the scattered GN Particles. As a result, Nena deemed that her Arche Drei would have an overwhelming advantage when fighting Arche. However, there is no record of Nena piloting the Arche Drei.
