An upgraded version of the XM-04 Berga-Dalas, the XM-05 Berga-Giros was nearly identical to its predecessor. Improvements are made to its sensor systems, additional shelf nozzles were added to its backpack for more speed and maneuverability, and two additional machine guns were mounted on its shot lancer. Zabine Chareux, assistant to Crossbone Vanguard figurehead Berah Ronah, was the leader of the elite Black Vanguard Squadron, and led his troops in a customized black Berga-Giros while escorting Berah Ronah’s XM-07 Vigna-Ghina.
