The BMS-005SS G-Xiphos [Snake Sword Equipment Type] was a variant of the BMS-005 G-Xiphos that the Madorna Workshop developed for the Bisidian space pirates. Like other Bisidian units, the G-Xiphos was painted black to lower its detectability. The snake sword equipment was difficult to master and could confuse an opponent in close combat, allowing the G-Xiphos to gain the initiative. The shield’s skull emblem, as well as its beam gun and large claws, provided this weapon with both defensive and offensive power.
