Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Arana Abijo is a technological cross between the EMS-VSX2 Abijo and EMS-12 Arana and could be considered a variant of either. It should be noted that the Arana Abijo possesses the body of the Arana mobile suit and the head of the Abijo mobile suit.
Key features of the Arana Abijo includes the backpack fin-nozzles from the EMS-12 Arana which are designed for increased agility. The flexible thrusters are capable of moving in all directions to increase mobility. Another key feature is its small size and mass which aids in more efficient thruster operation, granting the Arana Abijo further agility, but in exchange it has very weak armor and a relatively small reactor.
A key difference from its predecessors is that the Arana Abijo's main weapons are two beam cannons attached to its side armor. They are more powerful than any weapon used by either the Abijo or the Arana. The mass of the cannons is offset by additional vernier thrusters placed on the rear of each cannon.
History
The Arana Abijo is piloted by Rosemary Raspberry and she joins the Crossbone Vanguard to fight against the Jupiter Empire.
