Technical and Historical Notes
Developed to battle the Crossbone Gundams, the EMS-VSX2 Abijo was built as a
fast attack and stealth mobile suit. Made much smaller than most mobile
suits, the Abijo focused on speed and maneuverability to the extreme.
However, because of its small size, it also mounted a smaller generator
and subsequently was incapable of equipping beam weapons, though this
had the beneficial side effect of reducing thermal emissions. The
Abijo's only weapon was a double-barreled needle gun, which it used in
conjunction with its high speed to perform rapid strikes against the
enemy. Assigned to the Death Gale Team, the Abijo used its speed to
harass the enemy and keep it busy while the heavy-hitting EMS-VSX1 Quavarze and
EMS-VSX3 Totuga dealt out the real damage. Piloted by Jupiter Empire ace
Rosemarie, the Abijo fought in many battles, including going to Earth
to track down Tobia Arronax. However, Tobia managed to thwart the
Abijo's speed by grabbing it, then fired the XM-X3 (F97) Crossbone Gundam X-3's vulcans, mega
machine cannons and mega machineguns, shredding the thinly-armored
mobile suit.
