The Strike Noir was the GAT-X105E Strike E equipped with the AQM/E-X09S Noir Striker. Based on the AQM/E-M1 Integrated Weapons Striker Pack (I.W.S.P.), the Noir Striker retained the design philosophy of being able to handle every combat situation, and was equipped with a variety of weapons for long range, medium range, and close range engagements. However, it was specialized for close combat. As a result, the Strike Noir was rarely deployed alone and often fought as a group with the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel Gundam and the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster Gundam, with the former excelling at close range and the latter excelling at long range.
Due to the development of high-capacity power packs, the Noir Striker was also protected by Phase Shift armor. However, since the productivity of Phase Shift armor material was still low, it was estimated that the number of fully completed Noir Strikers was less than two digits. In addition, since the Noir Striker, like its predcessor, required a skillful pilot to master, there was no record of it being supplied to regular units. It was speculated that an unknown number may have been supplied to Extended pilots, though details were unclear.
