The ESP-010 Valiant (aka Valiant) is a mass produced general-purpose mobile suit used by the Earth Sphere Peacekeeping Force.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Valiant is the main mobile suit used by the ESPF pre-dating the development of the Storm Drives, while not the most powerful, its design was easy to mass manufacture and compatible with almost every weapon available at the time. As it is a widely used suit the Valiant was designed to equipped with a variety of different weapons and equipment, allowing it to be used effectively in any combat situation. If certain pieces of equipment could not be used by the base model, a unit could be refitted into a custom variant with very little difficulty. As such, many of the Valiant's specialised variants may have originally been regular Valiants before refitting, instead of models built to specification from the ground up.
While lacking in power compared to machines such as the ESP-025 Striker or Gundams, the Valiant provided a reliable and relatively simpler mobile suit which formed the basis of a mass-produced and widely used design. Thanks to the Valiant's less complex design and lower output less skilled pilots can control the suit without much difficulty. The Valiant was also used as a design platform for later machines using the Storm Drive, mobile suits such as the ESP-010AD/SEP Advanced Valiant Storm Drive Type and EGM-210/V Gallant are direct descendants of the original Valiant and provided a familiar machine for pilots.
