Obviously, she has some connection to the Vajra. ZOMG
I was reading around and I saw that Kawamori said in an interview that he didn't want to make the VF-19 the standard fighter in the Frontier timeline because he couldn't stomach the thought of turning it into cannon-fodder.
Hence, we have the VF-171.
Oh, and he also said that though the VF-25 exceeds the VF-19 and VF-22 in terms of speed, its combat performance is actually only about the same to those two. And as we've seen up to this point, the VF-25 doesn't seem to have any internal missile bays (battroid mode was designed to be really thin to allow transformation even with armor equipped), pin-point barriers, and active stealth. Obviously, the VF-25 is being developed as a cheaper, mass-production advanced variable fighter.
So basically, the only really good points about the 25 are its speed, faster transformation, customizability, and the ability to equip a wider variety of booster packs.
Sure the 19 and the 22 were truly awesome. But their greatest flaw was that they were too expensive to produce. No wonder they didn't become mainstream fighters.
