ZGMF-X25T Zephyr Gundam

The ZGMF-X25T Zephyr Gundam  is mobile suit that was created in case of war by ZAFT. It is piloted by Zeo.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Based on the ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam, the Zephyr Gundam features many of the same characeristics of the Saviour. Small changes have been made though as the small wings, originally on Amfortas beam cannons, were enlarged and moved to Zephyr's shoulders. This provides the Zephyr with better mobility and agility when compared to the ZGMF-X23S Saviour.

The Zephyr can be equipped with Absorption Claws similar to the ones used by the Nebula Blitz but cannot utilize MA mode. The Mirage Colloid particles from the claws can be manipulated to reduce air resistance.

Armaments

 * CIWS
 * 2 linked MMI-GAU25A 20mm CIWS, mounted in head.


 * "Vajra" Beam Saber
 * The only close combat armament of the Saviour are two MA-M941 "Vajra" beam sabers. Originally mounted in the shoulders of the ZGMF-X23S Saviour, these "Vajra" are moved to the backpack to make room for the modified wings.
 * MA-BAR70 Beam Rifle
 * The Zephyr can be equipped with a MA-BAR70 high-energy beam rifle. It can be used in both MS and MA modes.
 * MMI-GAU2 "Picus" Machine Guns
 * 2 linked MMI-GAU2 Picus 76mm machine guns, mounted on the backpack, mostly for MA mode.
 * M106 "Amfortas" and MA-7B "Super Fortis" High Energy Beam Cannons

The secondary beam weapon of the backpack are two MA-7B "Super Fortis" beam cannons located above the "Amfortas", which can also be fired in both modes as well.
