Mercurius Suivant

The Mercurius Suivant is the upgraded version of the Mercurius developed by Vitrianis and operated by the assassins, Celia and Lettie.

Combat Characteristics
Like the Mercurius, The Mercurius Suivant was designed with defensive strategy in mind, and was armed with a small beam spray gun and a large shield, called a "Assault Shield Defensor," which had a powerful beam saber integrated into it. It was also equipped with a set of twenty planet defensers, which were small disc-shaped objects which projected an energy shield to protect the Mercurius or another mobile suit(s) from virtually any attack. The shield is powerful enough that it could even block a shot from XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero buster rifles, but a subsequent shot would would prove too much for it. They were stored in a rack on the back of the Mercurius, where they were charged by the suit's reactor. Both the Mercurius Suivant and Vayeate Shuivan were used as testbeds for the OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese III. As the Mercurius and Vayeate were painted red and blue respectively, Mercurius Suivant was painted in all white while Vayeate Suivant was painted in black with red accents.

Trivia
Mercurius Suivant's motif is derived from the Raijin, a mythical demon in Japanese Mythology.
