The MS-08TX/N Efreet Nacht was a variation of the Principality of Zeon’s limited production ground combat MS-08TX Efreet. Customized for stealth operation, the Efreet Nacht featured a jamming system, and it also omitted air ducts on the chest and mounted a new backpack design with retractable thrusters. Additional thruster units were mounted on the legs to improve mobility. As a close combat unit, the Efreet Nacht was armed with two cold blades, four throwable cold kunai and a triple Gatling gun. The Efreet Nacht originally belonged to M’Quve but was captured by the Earth Federation Forces following Operation Odessa. Two years later, a group of Zeon remnants called the Invisible Knights recaptured the Efreet Nacht from the EFF. The Efreet Nacht then served as the personal mobile suit of Invisible Knights leader Erik Blanke during Operation Tears of Varuna.
