The VGMM-Sc02 Gastima was a mobile suit developed by Venus Globe’s G-IT Laboratory. The Gastima was equipped with a high performance photon battery and featured a photon balancer on its back to release excess output. The Gastima’s primary weapons were a pair of super-large beam sabers connected by cables directly into the photon battery. Its other armaments included a head beam cannon, a beam rifle, three shoulder-mounted diffuse beam cannons, a shoulder-mounted beam barrier and multiple funnel missiles. During the final stage of Operation Reconguista in RC 1014, the Gastima was used in combat by G-IT Corps pilot Chickara Dual.
