RX-160S BYARLANT CUSTOM

The Byarlant Custom is an atmospheric flight-type (non-transforming) mobile suit. A mish-mash of recycled prototypes and salvaged production suits, the Byarlant has become known as a "Chimera" by the techs who work on it. Enemy pilots just refer to it as the 'Sky Demon'.

 

Designed to dominate the one area most mobile suits are ineffective in, Byarlant pilots must rely on their mobility in a three-dimensional battlefield to maintain superiority, as the Byarlant has a rather limited weapons package. Two built-in Mega Particle Beam Cannons are it's only armament, although with output modes ranging from rapid fire to beam saber, they have a bit of flexibility in engagement style.

 

Due to the unorthodox design and flight rating requirement, the Byarlant never became very popular with mobile suit pilots. However, the few pilots that are willing to pull the G-force necessary to engage in the acrobatic combat the Byarlant excels at are more than satisfied with it's performance.
