The Vanadis Institute developed it at Ochs Earth alongside the XGF-02 Gundam Lfrith, before GUND Format hardware had settled into a form that protected the pilot. Suletta Mercury takes it into the final episodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most of the story the Calibarn is sealed. It lost the development competition, every record of it was erased, and the Space Assembly League seized it during the Vanadis Incident, where it was called a monster. Suletta brings it out to face her sister Ericht and Prospera Mercury as Quiet Zero comes online. With the Aerial Rebuild crippled, she borrows its GUND Bits and raises a data storm large enough to shut the Interplanetary Laser Transmission System down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot protection was traded away.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Lfrith could be flown within a certain Permet score with limited harm to the pilot. The Calibarn chased raw GUND-ARM performance instead and adopted measures that did not guarantee the pilot's survival, which is why it lost and why it was sealed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts shield is a swarm.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Escutcheon is a platform of 11 Bit Staves, the same remote units that had been fitted to the Aerial. It works as a shield, as a GUND-BIT weapon system, and as a set of turrets, since each stave carries a beam cannon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe rifle is also a thruster.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Variable Rod Rifle, the main firearm, carries four Quadra Thrusters in its rear end. They push the suit as well as the weapon, so the rifle doubles as extra propulsion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bits plug back into the frame.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nDocking the Bit Staves to hardpoints around the body is the Bit on Form, which tops up their power and propellant and improves the suit's own mobility and defence.
