Mobile Suit Gundam Eight
- Gundam Zirius
-
Model Number: EES-001
A state-of-the-art mobile suit developed for extravehicular activity (EVA) by East End Co. for the Outer Space Exploration Project, launched by the international organization Solar System Alliance.
Recent research reveals that the remains of Mother Swan, an unknown life-form discovered among the rings of Saturn two hundred years ago, originated from outside the Solar System.
Believing that research into life-forms capable of traversing the stars could accelerate human advancement and expansion, the world committed vast budgetary and personnel resources to the Outer Space Exploration Project.
Since outer space represents a new frontier for humanity, mobile suits designed for EVA require high versatility in order to respond to any kind of contingency. The EES series was selected following a lengthy trial process held across numerous bidding companies.
The development concept includes the phrase "A next-generation, all-purpose machine to fulfill humanity's dreams." It is instantly recognizable by the Feather Extension mounted on its back.
