The STH-16/tc Shiden Custom was a variation of Teiwaz’s STH-16 Shiden. Developed at the request of pilot Norba Shino, the unit added thrusters to the shoulders and equipped a new short shield. The Alaya-Vijnana System was transferred from Shino’s previous EB-06/tc2 Ryusei-Go II, which made it the only Shiden to utilize that system. Painted in Shino’s preferred garish magenta, he nicknamed the suit Ryusei-Go III. The suit’s armaments included a partizan and rifle. After Shino upgraded to the ASW-G-64 Gundam Flauros, the Shiden Custom was repainted and reassigned to Ride Mass, who nicknamed it Riden-Go.
