The Rosso Aegis is a Mobile Suit in the Cosmic Era timeline.
Combat Abilities
Since it is a variant of the original GAT-X303 Aegis, the Rosso Aegis is very similar to the original, in that it retains the same three modes of transformation and has nearly identical armament. However, it has very significant advantages. The suit features wing binders on its back, which increase mobility of MA mode in atmosphere (which is shown through its model number, with the "AA" standing for "Advanced Acceleration"). Rosso Aegis can also transform into a flight mode by arranging the wing binders to mimic the Jet Striker equipment, which allows it to fly in MS mode.
The Rosso Aegis can fire its "Scylla" multi-phase beam cannon while in either Mobile Armor Attack Mode or in a "Mobile Suit Attack Mode". In MS attack mode the upper body is transformed, removing the torso component which covers the barrel. The MS atack mode looks similar to GAT-X252 Forbidden's close combat mode and shares its ability to bend Scylla's beam.
History
Fielded in Cosmic Era 74, the Rosso Aegis is dispatched by the Eurasian Federation and piloted by Emilio Broderick, whose loyality however belongs to the Phantom Pain special forces.
Dispatched against the Martian MMF-JG73L Turn Δ, the Rosso Aegis and the GAT-X207SR Nero Blitz were defeating their opponent, until repeated provocation by Turn-Delta pilot Ergnes Brahe caused Emilio to go berserk.
