The BMS-005 G-Xiphos was a commander class suit of the Bisidian space pirates, based on the Earth Federation Forces’ WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer. The G-Xiphos exchanged general purpose capability for heightened combat power. It was implied that heavy usage of DODS buster H would cause it to overheat, disabling it for some time. The G-Xiphos’ heat sword was inherited from Capt. Angrazzo and was enhanced using the latest technology. The blade was made of a rare metal that was worth as much as a small country’s GDP. Modification of the manipulator component into an attachment point was devised by the technicians from the Madorna Workshop. This allowed the suit to be equipped with a variety of equipment depending on the situation (which also applied for the BMS-003 Shaldoll Rogue and BMS-004 G-Exes Jackedge). All of Bisidian’s mobile suits were painted black to lower detectability.
