Wings of Dawn Tech Room Description
Designed in NC0139 to be the successor to the VX-02. The VX-153 deals more damage and packs enough punch to knock a enemy fighter off course. Unfortunatly the XV-153 has yet to gain the popularity that the VX-02 enjoys. The reasons for that being that the VX-153 is more prone to breaking down after extensive use, requires more maintenance and the weapon puts more strain on the fighter's generator. Regardless the VX-153 is a potent weapon that will surely see upgrades and improvements in the nearby future.

Even after acquiring this weapon, I continued to use the VX-02a simply because you can kill stuff faster with it. The kinetic effect of this weapon allows the AIs to turn around and start shooting at you. Hardly a weapon I would want to use.
