A prototype
mobile suit,
or Main Battle Figure, developed by the
Orb Union
for its own national defense forces. Three Astray units were secretly produced at
Heliopolis,
using data and technology borrowed from the
Earth Alliance's
GAT-X series,
but since its developers were unable to duplicate the Alliance's
Phase Shift Armor
they instead designed the Astray for light weight and high maneuverability. When Heliopolis is attacked by
ZAFT
forces, the Astray factory is destroyed to prevent detection, but this second prototype is salvaged by Lowe Guele of the Junk Guild. Due to the high energy consumption of the Astray's beam weapons, Lowe's preferred weapon is a huge samurai sword known as the Gerbera Straight.
The Red Frame's OS allows it to be operated by
Naturals.
