The ovv-f Gafran is the first mainstay mass production mobile suit used by Vagan, and can transform into an alternate "dragon-like" flight mode for long distance travel in space. Besides having excellent mobility, its offensive and defensive power are also superior to that of the RGE-B790 Genoace. Prior to the appearance of the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal, it was thought to be invincible.
Its waist-mounted, movable, stabilizer wings utilize lightwave propulsion system. When encountering something new, the Gafran can scan and collect the object's data using a red light from its slit-like main sensor on its head. To prevent the Earth Federation military from gathering technology and information from fallen or captured units, Vagan machines are installed with a self-destruct mechanism. By A.G. 164, this function is removed from most Vagan MS.
The Gafran is armed with a pair of hand-mounted beam vulcans/beam sabers, a chest-mounted diffuse beam cannon, and a tail-mounted beam rifle. It can also carry a handheld Colony Destroyer for destroying large object such as a space colony. The commander's version of the Gafran has a purple color scheme.
