Technical and Historical Notes

A reconnaissance mobile suit designed for use by officers, the Crossbone Vanguard's XM-06 Dahgi Iris was typically used in conjunction with a team of XM-03 Ebirhu-S recon units in a supervisory and escort role. Unlike most other Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits, the Dahgi Iris was not equipped with a beam shield, as its operation would have interfered with the reception of data by the highly sensitive sensor systems planted all over the mobile suit's body. In its place, the Dahgi Iris carried a standard solid shield, and it was also armed with a scattering beam gun in its torso for additional heavy firepower to complement its beam rifle and beam saber. One Dahgi Iris unit was piloted by Annamarie Bourget, who later defected to the Earth Federation Forces during the Crossbone Vanguard invasion of UC 0123. Annamarie's Dahgi Iris was then repainted into an off-yellow color to more easily distinguish it from its loyal Crossbone counterparts.
