CSF-S3cB2/NU/LP01-012 Phoenix

Technology and Combat Characteristics
With its heavy external shell removed, the Phoenix can move much faster, allowing for the complete freedom of the HMT II Thrusters. This somewhat negates the chance of damaging its fragile armor, since it could move at much higher speeds. Now being a sniper unit, the Phoenix is benefited by this increased speed.

Armaments
- Laser Rifle: The Large Handheld Laser Cannon used by the Firestorm had detached its spreading barrel attachment, allowing the rifle to now fire precision shots instead of large blasts. The ammunition remains the same, in the form of compact energy cartridges. The rifle is stored on the backpack when not in use. (Goes from a turret-style use to a rifle-style use.)

- SMPs: A 30mm SMP is mounted on each side skirt armor, which was originally un-accessible in its previous form. Each gun has a 30 round magazine, with spare magazines being located on the rear skirt armor. The Pistols can be stored in their holsters when not in use.

- 300mm Enhanced HPNC: Even after its armor was purged, the Phoenix can still use its 300mm HPNCs as a shoulder-fired "Bazooka." While the weapon itself cannot be reattached onto the unit, it does feature a built-in trigger, allowing it to be used nonetheless.

Special Equipment and Features
- Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Sensor: As per usual, the Phoenix is equipped with a long-range targeting sensor to assist in long-range engagement.

- Cloaking Drive MKII: After the fight with the Blacklight, the LCR was able to remove the cloaking drive from its back, allowing for the them to construct their own version of the system. This system was then built into the frame of the Phoenix. It allows for near complete invisibility for a short duration as long as the Garrisai is standing still. If the Garrisai is in motion, the cloak becomes distorted, allowing for partial visibility of the Phoenix. Just like the Blacklight, the Cloaking drive is located on the back of the Garrisai, and can only be used when the LAND STRIKE System is Removed.

Trivia
- The Phoenix’s style and loadout pays a refrence to Miia's original role as a sniper in the concept of the first Harbinger book. It represents her fiery personality and her turn to a protagonist during the course of the story. It also resembles the Gundam Virtue's transformation into the Gundam Nadleeh from Gundam 00.

- Much of Blacklight’s technology and equipment was integrated into the Phoenix during its creation.

- [The Crimson Eclipse Diver got its nickname “Artemis” from its hunter-like loadout and homage to the Hunter Vendetta.]

- It’s also known as the Final Firestorm.

- From the ashes, I shall rise.
