Following the development of new offensive and defensive mobile suit systems at OZ’s lunar base in AC 195, Romefeller Foundation lead engineer Tubarov traveled to Luna to take charge of the design and construction of OZ’s new mobile doll units, which were remotely-commanded, unmanned mobile suits operated by an artificial intelligence system. Incorporating the destructive self-powering beam cannon design from the OZ-13MSX1 Vayeate and the planet defenser system from the OZ-13MSX2 Mercurius, Tubarov built his new OZ-02MD Virgo mobile dolls. The Virgo was named after the sixth sign of the Zodiac, meaning “virgin” (perhaps an appropriate name considering that it didn’t need a human inside it to function). Scores of these soulless mechanical troops were dispatched to Earth, wiping out armed resistance opposing the rule of the Romefeller Foundation. Romefeller’s new ideal was centered around the mobile doll, in their vain attempt to bring peace and order to Earth without a high cost in human lives. With tremendous firepower as well as the ability to shrug it off, the Virgos became the unstoppable new symbol of Romefeller’s power.
