The OZ-13MSX2 Mercurius and its sibling unit, the OZ-13MSX1 Vayeate, were a pair of space-use mobile suits developed for OZ by the five captured Gundam Scientists using the OZ-12SMS Taurus as a reference.[1][2] The Mercurius was designed with defensive strategy in mind and was meant to operate alongside the offensive-based Vayeate, with one covering the other when in battle. Its signature armament is a set of ten planet defensors, which are small disc-shaped objects that generate a defensive electromagnetic field to protect the Mercurius or an allied mobile suit from enemy's attack. It is also armed with a small beam gun, and a large shield with integrated Beam Saber called "Crash Shield". Like the Vayeate, the Mercurius has a cover that defends its head sensors but limits vision. The Mercurius' planet defensors are later used in the OZ's mass production mobile doll, the OZ-02MD Virgo and its upgraded version, the WF-02MD Virgo II. A second Mercurius controlled by Mobile Doll AI System was later built by White Fang.
