During the
military chaos wracking Earth in A.W. 0015, a band of Vultures
based on the land battleship Freeden
encountered a remnant of the Space Revolutionary Army in the
form of the powerful RMSN-008 Bertigo
mobile suit and its Newtype pilot, Caris Nautilus. Garrod Ran's
GX-9900 Gundam X was severely damaged
by the Bertigo's remote bit weapons,
and it had to be overhauled and rebuilt to return to combat
readiness. Its satellite cannon was damaged beyond repair and
had to be scrapped, but Kid Salsamille, the Freeden's
resourceful young mobile suit mechanic, rebuilt the GX
and gave it an extra beam sword, a salvaged, space battleship-grade
2-barrel beam machine gun, extra vernier thrusters, and a "divider"
shield which not only mounted 13 linked beam guns (also called
a "beam harmonica"), but also mounted thrusters and control
surfaces to put it back into the air. Renamed the GX-9900-DV
Gundam X Divider, this rebuilt mobile suit would prove to be
even more effective than its namesake in terms of conventional
maneuverability and firepower. Initially, the GX Divider still
required the G-controller unit for activation and operation;
however, with the absence of the satellite cannon (and the Freeden
crew's only handy G-controller being needed to operate their
newly-captured GX-9901-DX Gundam Double
X), Kid soon modified the GX Divider's cockpit panel so
that it could be activated without a G-controller. With Garrod
piloting his newly stolen Double X,
the GX Divider was passed down to Jamil and served as his personal
mobile suit throughout the rest of the military conflict in
A.W. 0015.
