The VA-1SS Metal Siren Replica was an unarmed, single-mode trial production version of U.N. Spacy’s latest variable fighter, the VA-1SS Metal Siren. Compared to the standard Metal Siren, the Replica had a shorter nose because it lacked the plasma spear that docked underneath it. The Replica was unveiled in 2092 during the Moon Festival, where ace pilot Sylvie Geena flew it with idol singer Wendy Ryder as a passenger. However, the festivities ended when the alien Mardook confused Wendy for one of their Emulators and attempt to capture her. Sylvie responded by switching places with Fairy Squad teammate Nastasha and using her VF-2SS Valkyrie II.
