Technical and Historical Notes

An upgraded version of the XM-04 Berga Dalas, the XM-05 Berga Giros was very identical to its predecessor. Improvements were made to its sensor systems, additional "shelf nozzles" were added to its backpack for more speed and maneuverability, and two additional machine guns were mounted on its shot lancer. Zabine Chareux, assistant to Crossbone Vanguard figurehead Berah Ronah, was the leader of the elite Black Vanguard Squadron, and led his troops in a customized black Berga Giros while escorting Vera's XM-07 Vigna Ghina.
