The xvm-gz Defurse is a Vagan mobile suit introduced in the first generation of the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE anime. It is piloted by Geera Zoi.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Defurse was a machine developed by Vagan for their conquest to conquer the Earth Sphere.[1] Designed for use under Earth's gravity, this prototype mobile suit was a radical departure from typical Vagan mobile suits, possessing a massive frame that dwarfs conventional mobile suits.[2][3] The Defurse is armed with two hand-mounted beam vulcans/beam sabers, a beam cannon built into its tail, and a larger beam cannon in its lower torso which has a variable output and can destroy multiple mobile suits in one shot. For defense, the Defurse is equipped with Electromagnetic Armor. While the Defurse was the newest and strongest Vagan mobile suit at that point of time, it was abandoned midway through development due to maneuverability problems in space, but Geera Zoi managed to complete it by himself.[2][3] The completed Defurse did not display any problem moving in the space fortress Ambat.
Armament[]
- Beam Vulcan/Beam Saber
- Mounted in both hands, the beam vulcans are the standard ranged weapon for most Vagan mobile suits. These beam weapons have a high rate of fire and are moderately powerful, capable of destroying small vehicles, buildings, and even mobile suits. However, they were not powerful enough to damage the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal. The beam vulcans can also generate a beam saber each for close range combat, allowing Vagan mobile suits to switch quickly from ranged combat to close range combat. The beam sabers can easily cut through most mobile suits.
- Defurse Cannon
- Mounted on the lower torso. It has a variable output and can take down multiple mobile suits in one shot.
- Beam Cannon
- A beam cannon built into the tail of Defurse, it possesses the power to destroy most mobile suits in one shot.

History[]
Geera Zoi piloted the Defurse during the final battle against Flit Asuno and the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal to defend the space fortress Ambat's reactor.[3] The Defurse is destroyed by the combined efforts of Flit's AGE-1 Normal and Woolf Enneacle's WMS-GEX1 G-Exes, but Geera managed to escape just as the mobile suit exploded.[4]
