Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Gundam Virsago was developed by the Government Reconstruction Committee. The most distinctive weapon of the Virsago is its abdomen-mounted mega sonic cannon, which can fire a concentrated, destructive beam or diffused beams to take out multiple targets at once. Another characteristic weapon is its two "Strike Claws", which are mounted on the Virsago's extendable arms. These claws can tear through a mobile suit's armor and also mounts a beam cannon each. Besides these weapons, the Virsago is also armed with a beam saber and can use a pair of optional Strike Shooters. Although capable of flying on its own, Shagia Frost often stood or held onto his brother's NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron in its Mobile Armor mode, allowing Virsago to traverse areas quickly without using any of its propellant. Despite being based on the GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor, the Virsago is not equipped with a Flash System.

History

The Virsago served as the personal mobile suit of Shagia Frost, and was used extensively in North America to gather information prior to the invasion by the New United Nations Earth forces. Shagia also used the Virsago in a pursuit of the Freeden and its Gundams. After repeated defeats, the Virsago was upgraded into the NRX-0013-CB Gundam Virsago Chest Break.
