Giza

The Giza is a wanzer model that appeared in all main series installments except Front Mission 3. It was also featured in Front Mission Onlineand Front Mission Evolved. Like the Frost, it is one of the most iconic wanzer models in the series. It is produced by the Leonora Enterprise of O.C.U. Australia.

Overview
It was often seen equipped with shoulder weapons and repair backpacks. These is probably due to the fact that the Giza wanzer and its variants are characterized by very high output, rendering it capable of being equipped with shoulder weapons or repair backpacks, the two heaviest classes equipment known in the series. However, unlike most high-output models, Giza also has decent mobility and armour. This means that it is capable of supporting frontline allies, who, due to their position, are the ones who are most likely to need emergency repair. Giza seems to be widely employed by many military units, since the wanzer model was seen in Front Mission First to be used by both the O.C.U. and U.C.S. in the Huffman Island. In later installment, it was also seen to be under control of pilots from many parts of the world.

The Giza has a branch series named Bes, as seen in Front Mission 5: Scars of the War.
