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.
