The GN-006/SA Cherudim Gundam SAGA (Special Assault Gundam Arms), also known simply as Cherudim SAGA, is a special equipment version of the GN-006 Cherudim Gundam designed for infiltrating enemy facilities. For effective combat within the narrow confines of these facilities, the mobile suit mainly uses short-barreled guns, and carries a total of seven such guns throughout its body. Ian Vashti, designer of Cherudim SAGA, gave it seven guns as he was conscious of GN-001 Gundam Exia's development code of "Seven Swords", and this also led to the mobile suit having the development code of "Seven Guns". While the original Cherudim specialized in long-range shooting, Cherudim SAGA was designed for mid-to-close range combat and its forehead sensor was modified accordingly. In Sniper mode, this sensor would slide down diagonally to around the eye level. Despite these changes, Cherudim SAGA retained the original Cherudim's long-range capabilities. Thus, it maintains the basic strategy of the Cherudim, which is to target and shoot enemies from a distance.
