black knight squad shi-ve.a
A Mobile Suit introduced in the movie Gundam SEED Freedom, it is a close combat machine piloted by Shura Serpentine.
An advanced high-performance mobile suit developed by the Kingdom of Foundation using ZAFT technology.
It utilizes many advanced technologies, such as the new Femto Technology Armor to defend against beam weaponry.
Unlike the Black Knight Squad Rud-ro.A the Shi-ve.A is fitted more for close combat with 3 beam sabers, a Close-in Anti-Armor Blade "Dis Pater" Katar heat sword, beam blades installed in the feet and ROC Shield "Svarog", a shield with claw meant for crushing opponents.
It's last weapon is the Close-in Needle Projection System, which is designed to overwhelm Phase Shift Armor by rapid firing hundreds of needles at the target, however the weapon can only be used once per engagement due to limited ammo capacity.
