Weapons wise, X1 could arm an entire platoon of mobile suits. It carries one oversized beamsaber called a beam zanber which has a distinctive cutlass shape for the blade, as well as two additional regular beam sabers. It has four daggers with physical blades, two stored in each leg, that can be shot out from the bottom of the feet, and two small shields, one on each arm, that can activate to turn into beam punching daggers. They CAN be used as proper shields, but rarely are, as this takes a lot of power and the Crossbone Vanguard has a lot of supply issues. It has a pair of grappling claws ("Scissor anchors")that can be fired from the waist to grab onto things. It does have SOME ranged weapons: a small beam cannon that can actually combine with the beam zanber to create a somewhat decent ranged weapon called the zanbuster AND can equip specialty shells for more powerful attacks. And finally: four of the ubiquitous gundam vulcan cannons, two mounted in the head and two mounted in the chest. The Crossbone series of gundams also make use of the core fighter system, allowing part of the chest unit to detatch, creating a light fighter armed only with the vulcans. While docked, the engines of the fighter provide the gundam with verniers. It is equipped with a Bio-Computer system, which is similar to the ZERO System from Gundam Wing, only with less insanity.

Suggested Event List:
Mission 1 - Space Pirates! - The Crossbone Vanguard attacks a ship carrying students to Jupiter. During the attack, it is revealed that the ship also contained a shipment of poison gas that was going to be sent back to Earth. Tobia Arronax cautiously joins the crew.
Mission 2 - The Name of the Darkness that is Jupiter - The Crossbone Vanguard attacks a supposed unarmed supply base, which turns out to be full of war materiel for the Jupiter Empire. A pitched battle ensues ending when the heroes narrowly avoid getting nuked. The sinister nature of the Jupiter Empire is revealed.
Mission 3 - Ambush Trap - The Jupiter Empire tries to catch the Crossbone Vanguard by hiding forces inside a supplies cruiser and sneak attacking with a mobile armor. Due to shenanigans, X1 deploys with Tobia as the pilot instead of Kincaid. Part way through Tobia and Kincaid use the core fighter system to switch pilots.
Log - Kincaid and Tobia sneak into a Jupiter Empire military base to find the location of their president, Crux Dogatie. They barely escape with their lives, but are successful.
Mission 4 - Storm of Io - The Crossbone Vanguard attack Crux Dogatie's home base on Jupiter's Moon Io. They find out that Dogatie has uploaded his memories and personality into a super advanced Bio-Computer, and that even though they have caught him, seven copies of him have just activated and sent an attack fleet to Earth
Mission 5 - Death Gale - While chasing Dogaties back to earth, Kincaid's Ally/Rival Zabine decides to sell out the Vanguard to Jupiter. He takes over the ship. During the following Battle, Kincaid fights against Death Gale, a unit of suits specifically designed to counter and hunt down Gundams. Eventually, the Jupiter forces have to retreat because they are in danger of being unable to catch up with the main Jupiter ship, but not before capturing Tobia.
Log - Tobia, on foot, defeats Gundam X2 in an arena battle, steals it, then escapes in the core fighter back to the Mother Vanguard.
