Technology & Combat Characteristics
Developed by the Illuminati, the G-Saviour Space Mode is specialized for zero gravity conditions and is equipped with a skirt booster module that allows it to make sharp turns and a back-mounted booster pack with six fin thrusters. The shoulder armor houses propellant tanks and three thrusters, which along with the front skirt thrusters, are used for attitude control. However, to ensure its high mobility, the unit has thinner armor, although it makes up for it with quick attacks.
The modules of the G-Saviour are made to be easily interchangeable in a specialized hangar. This gives the unit a multitude of combat options. However, this adaptability is hindered if the unit can't access such a hangar. Compact versions of these hangars can be found on ships such as the Lightning.
The G-Saviour's EFX-8 Type cockpit also has a life support system capable of sustaining a pilot for up to 72 hours.
History
The G-Saviour Space Mode was in development by the Illuminati's Saviour team for an unspecified amount of time before the events of G-Saviour, where Philippe San Simeone gave it to Mark Curran for his personal use. Mark first piloted it to clear space debris out from the path of the transport ship Nimbus. He then later piloted it during the latter stages of the Battle of Gaea when the Freedoms used by Gaea proved to be no match against the new MW-Rai units fielded by the Congressional Armed Forces.
During the battle, he would come to the aid of Franz Dieter, whose Freedom had become incapacitated on Gaea's solar panels. There, he was attacked by Jack Halle, who was piloting a MS-Rai. After the G-Saviour's beam rifle is destroyed, the two engage in a beam saber battle, with Mark winning by detaching a part of the G-Saviour's armor. After being saved by the Illuminati from a follow up ambush of CAMW-13 MW-Rais, Mark took the G-Saviour to a hangar where it was converted into its Terrain Mode to sweep up the remaining CCMS-03 Bugus inside the colony.
After the Battle of Gaea, the G-Saviour was handed down to a Illuminati ace pilot named Reed Fox of the Lightning Squad. Due to a system error, Reed was forced to pilot the G-Saviour in this configuration while on Earth, as he could not switch modules in the hangar. He would continue to pilot the G-Saviour in its Space Mode until it was heavily damaged in battle against the CAMS-15 Raven. Following these events, the G-Saviour was given a complete overhaul and repaired as the G3-Saviour.
A CPU-piloted Gunpla version of the G-Saviour appears briefly during a demonstration by Nils Nielsen to one of his colleagues, where he promptly defeats it with a custom MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki.
