Following the theft of the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X and the development of new mobile suits, Shagia Frost’s NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago became outclassed by the newer models. Thus, it was upgraded to the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break. The back wings were upgraded for use with the satellite system collectors, which were used in conjunction with his brother Olba’s NRX-0015-HC Gundam Ashtaron Hermit Crab. The chest was upgraded with two opening doors and a powerful 3-barrel mega sonic cannon. With its combined firepower the Gundam Virsago Chest Break proved to be a greater challenge for Garrod Ran and the Vultures. The upgraded Virsago was severely damaged in the last battle of the 8th Space War, and Shagia himself was left paralyzed.
