Technical
and Historical Notes
The Crossbone
Vanguard's XM-07G Vigna Zirah mobile suit was the weapons-upgraded
version of the XM-07 Vigna Ghina,
which itself was designed to replace the Berga series. The Vigna
Zirah mounted two VSBRs - or Variable Speed Beam Rifles - similar
to those used on the Earth Federation Forces' Gundam
F91 prototype. However, these VSBRs were mounted on the
backpack in place of the standard Vigna
Ghina's fin nozzles. To compensate for this setback, the
Vigna Zirah's remaining rocket thruster power and AMBAC (Active
Mass Balance AutoControl) abilities were increased. In addition,
the Vigna Zirah mounted additional sensors to overcome visual
distortion and assist in aiming its VSBRs, and special Gundam-style
ornaments could be added to the head. At least one Vigna Zirah
unit is known to have existed, operated by the Crossbone Vanguard's
Dark Tiger force in early UC 0123.
