The 55th Viking Shield Team is stationed in the high-altitude snow mountains of Agurts. Many members of this unit are former refugees who had survived the cold wilderness of the north, giving this unit great advantages in prolonged, cold weather combat. The 55th Viking Shield Team were often deployed together with the 101st Phoenix Pinion Team to carry out missions in the colder areas. As the frequency of excursions and the size of the unit increased, their weaponry and armaments were enhanced as well. The 55th Vikings and 88th Sand Team were often sent on missions beyond the borders.
