The XMS-005 Thielva was an X-Rounder use variant of the Earth Federation Forces’ WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer. The Thielva followed after an earlier X-Rounder variant, the G-Bouncer Deos. The Thielva’s armaments were similar to the original G-Bouncer, although the thruster binders were replaced with a pair of remotely controlled T bits. When G-Bouncer Deos test pilot Girard Fornell was killed during a test flight, Reina Spriggan took on her dead lover’s name and developed enmity for the Earth Federation Forces. In AG 164, Spriggan joined Luna Base commander Aaron Simmons in defecting to the Vagans. When the Earth Federation Forces launched an operation to recapture the base, Spriggan’s unstable X-Rounder powers overloaded, leading to her death at the hands of Flit Asuno’s AGE-1G Gundam AGE-1 Gransa.
