A new model of amphibious mobile suit used by ZAFT special forces, whose SSO designation stands for Support/Special Operations. The ASH is designed for covert operations rather than regular combat, and its arms are equipped with lethal close-combat weapons instead of normal manipulators. It can also change into a compact mobile armor form for underwater cruising.
