Technical and Historical Notes
Following the production of the RPI-212 Vincent testbed, the Britannian Empire creates an enhanced model for commanders. This version, designated the A-type, features improved avionics and shielding against ECM and Gefjun Disturbers, but is otherwise identical to the pre-production model. Data from the commander type is later used to produce the final mass production model, the Vincent Ward. One commander unit, painted metallic white with purple accents is piloted by Gilbert G.P. Guilford when he attempts to thwart the Black Knights' plan to kidnap Area 11's new Viceroy. Other units are used by special teams assigned to Luciano Bradley, the Knight of Ten, as well as Monica Kruszewski, the Knight of Twelve.
