Costumes

Added new costumes for ARN-01D and Gat

ARN-01D - K-0 Wars

Before they were reprogrammed as civil peace keepers, the ARN Units were created for the frontline of the K-0 Wars. Following the withdrawal of the Galactic Agency from Punch Planet, any surviving ARN Units were repurposed.

Gat - Vizier

Before Gat became the custodian of Punch Planet, it's believed he appeared throughout history to reap from times of chaos. There is much debate as to whether he is truly immortal or using some form of space wizardry to keep himself alive.
