Technical
and Historical Notes
Presumably the first Gundam mobile suit built after the devastating 7th Space War, the New UNE's NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago was also presumably built with the same type of lunar titanium alloy materials used on previous Gundam units (although this theory has yet to be proven). The Gundam Virsago's main armament was its extremely powerful megasonic gun, giving this MS a destructive firepower second only to the GX-9900 Gundam X - and not requiring the use of a Newtype pilot or a flash system/satellite system. Piloted by telepathic Newtype-wannabe Shagia Frost, this rather spooky-looking Gundam's visage fit his dark and conniving personality, and the Virsago was often referred to as the "Ghost Gundam." The Virsago was later upgraded to the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break.
