XM-05 Berga Giros

The XM-05 Berga Giros is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam F91 movie.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
Designed and produced in 123 UC the XM-05 Berga Giros is an upgraded version of the XM-04 Berga Dalas. In terms of specs the Berga Giros is 0.1 meters shorter and 0.2 metric tons lighter than the Berga Dalas. Also the output of the ultracompact fusion reactor has been increased to 4790 kW, which is 540 kW greater than even the Federation's advanced F91 Gundam Formula 91. The backpack, which is based on the model used on the Berga Dalas, has been redesigned with a greater number of shelf nozzles allowing for greater speed and maneuverability. Finally it has greater offensive power as two additional machine guns were added to the Berga Giros's shot lancer, giving it a total of four machine gun barrels.

History
Introduced in 123 UC the XM-05 Berga Giros was designed as the successor to the command model mobile suit the XM-04 Berga Dalas for the Crossbone Vanguard. Though there were a few commanders who preferred the older Berga Dalas the Berga Giros was the mobile suit of choice for Crossbone Vanguard ace pilot Zabine Chareux whose unit was painted in the elite Black Vanguard colors. The Berga Giros would be used by Crossbone Vanguard commanders in the invasion of the Frontier IV colony where they proved deadly effective against the Federation's older mobile suits.

When Zabine Chareux was assigned as Berah Ronah's mobile suit operations instructor he would often accompany her practice flights in his Berga Giros.

During the Crossbone Vanguard's attempt to invade Frontier I Zabine Chareux's Berga Giros would do battle with Seabook Arno's Gundam F91 which ended in defeat of Zabine and the destruction of his Berga Giros which was one of the most recognizable units for this model of mobile suit.
