Background: Introduced shortly after the appearance of the dreaded Gundams, OZ's newest mobile suit, the OZ-12SMS Taurus (named after the second Zodiac sign meaning "bull") was a truly advanced unit, being designed primarily for space combat but also serving well as a transformable fighter in atmosphere. Its mobility and high speed made the Taurus one of the most respected and feared mobile suits to be developed by OZ. However, the Taurus was also designed with the new "mobile doll" system, turning the normally manned Taurus into an unmanned, highly-reactive and accurate machine controled by an AI system. Though it would eventually be supplanted by the first dedicated mobile doll unit, the OZ-02MD Virgo, the Taurus would find its way into the service of many factions, including the White Fang revolutionary army, the defense forces of the pacifist Sanc Kingdom, and even the secret Mariemaia Army the following year.

Neverwinter, just as every other faction, saw the useful design, and instead of designing it as Is, took and Redesigned it. The new Drifter mobile suit comes in two color schemes, commander's choice for his units. Also, this is the only unit that utilizes ONLY the Variable Speed versions of the Ion Discharge Rifle and the Plasma Rifle, keeping it Ideal for superiority missions and escort. This will allow the Drifter to cover a large area in an energy spray, hard to evade even for the most experienced of pilots. The Drifters's downfall is the lesser ammount of armor, however the speed makes up for this greatly.
