NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago

The NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago is a Gundam-type Mobile Suit in the series After War Gundam X.

Combat Abilities
Armed with a wide variety of armaments, the most powerful weapon of the NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago is undoubtedly its chest-mounted mega-sonic gun. By using its Strike Claws to anchor itself to the ground, it can deploy this weapon to devastating effect, firing from it a single shot or using a spread cannon mode to take out multiple targets at once. All these abilities make the mega-sonic gun one of the most powerful mobile suit weapons of the After War era. Another important weapon are its two strike claws, which are mounted in the Virsago's arms. These claws are mounted on lengthened arms and are powerful enough to crush the head of a mobile suit. Each claw also mounts a beam cannon. Besides these weapons, the Gundam Virsago is also armed with a beam saber for close combat, two head-mounted vulcan guns and can use a pair of optional 2-barrel Strike Shooter beam guns.

Although capable of flying on its own, Shagia Frost often stood upon or held onto its brother's NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron in its Mobile Armor mode, allowing the Gundam Virsago to traverse areas quickly without the use of its own flight pack.

History
Developed by the New United Nations Earth, the Virsago serves as the personal mobile suit of Shagia Frost. Used extensively in North America to gather information prior to the invasion of the New United Nations Earth forces, Shagia also uses the Virsago in a pursuit of the Freeden and its Gundams. After repeated defeats, and suffering damage from the upgraded Gundams of the Freeden, the Virsago itself is upgraded into the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break.

Variants

 * NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break
 * Virsago Assassin

Trivia
The Virsago's head is quite similar to the head of the titular mecha from the 1997 Sunrise anime, "Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar" ("King of Braves GaoGaiGar").

The Virsago's arms use a system similar to that on the Shenlong and Altron from Gundam Wing.
