-Goal-

The goal of this project is to build the most advanced Mecha Unit capable of taking on whole enemy forces on its own. Various other technologies have been studied and will also be implemented into this unit’s design with slight modifications. The unit which will be used as a base subject for this project will be the modified version of the AC Lost Legacy Reborn which was advanced by the being H-1. After the final confrontation with H-1 the AC was seriously damaged and its passengers were not found on board, though it is still undetermined if Cronic and Alisa survived the explosion of the massive space fortress. Now, the AC will be rebuilt with the new technology and part modifications.

-Mecha Technologies Researched-

Prior to the discovery of the said to be destroyed AC Unit, Lost Legacy, other Mecha Technologies were researched. The knowledge of the Heralidic Race was very massive, which proved it was a race devoted to learning everything. The Heralidic Race had originated in Narria and used the Aether Gates to travel to other worlds in hope of expanding their knowledge. This also explains how they had data on technology such as Orbital Frames and Gears. When their home in Narria was destroyed Aldaris was the one who saved their archievs containing all of their collected knowledge. Aldaris has been an important member of this project and he has supplied the team with all the research on these technologies:

1: Orbital Frame
2: AC
3: Gear
4: Veritech
5: Goddess Ingrid
6: Gundam

-Reconstruction of Lost Legacy-

All remaining armor was completely removed and scrapped as the frame itself was also removed. Internal functions were repaired as best as possible but most were damaged beyond repair and without the original design plans of H-1 it was impossible to rebuild them. These functions have instead been replaced by “Nano-Assemblers”: Internal Systems Repair and Systems Switching

The most amazing aspects of the AC which also remained intact was the cockpit and “Pilot/Mech Interface System”. Tests have shown that the system was able to transform the emotions of the Pilot into pure energy which was actually supplied by the Pilot. However, what is unique about this is that the AC itself as gave off the same emotions as if it was also a living being, an exact copy of the Pilot’s personality and thought patterns. Even if the Pilot was not present in the cockpit the AC could still react to the thoughts of the Pilot and even act on its own. This is probably the reason for why the AC was not destroyed in the explosion even with its technology. The cockpit section was set aside from the Mech unit to continue the reconstruction. Also, upon further study of the cockpit, there was no trace of a computer which must have something to do with the Pilot/Mech Interface System. However, with the coming additions and modifications only the original Pilot would be able to make the unit work without a computer. So, we have added a “Metatron Computer” to make up for this without changing anything.

The AC’s Generator was completely destroyed due to overheating as it appears that the Radiator was shut down. The reasoning for this lies in Lost Legacy’s main weapon. The massive solid type sword it used was also a highly advanced Charged Particle Beam Cannon. However, it seems that the technology belonging to H-1 was unable to find another means for keeping the weapon from overheating before it could be fired other than routing the Cannon to the AC’s Radiator Unit. During that battle Cronic must have over used the Cannon and had blown out Lost Legacy’s Radiator. He then must have fired it again which caused the Generator to also give out due to the heat from the Cannon and the extra amount of energy being given to the right arm to compensate for the stress caused by the opposite force and recoil. Instead of replacing the Generator with another one or something else similar to it we have gotten in touch with the Heralidic Aldaris Sanctum to come in and give us aid in creating a more effective source of power. After reviewing the collected data on Gears we have created something which also allows a Mech Unit to work forever and without the risk of ever running out of energy. This new version of Mech Generator has been called “Spirit Core” which uses a Heralidic Crystal as the source of power.

With the help of Aldaris we were able to create one of the largest Heralidic Crystals known which can exert a power so great that if all the power was released at one time it would literally break down existence and reality. During our tests with a smaller Heralidic Crystal and new technologies we found out that the mineral Metatron, a mineral used in the construction of Orbital Frames, has an odd reaction to the power which is exerted from a Heralidic Crystal. The Metatron actually draws a certain amount of power from the crystal and then absorbs it, adding its power into its physical properties. We also discovered that the stored energy could also be drawn from the Metatron which changes its physical properties back to normal. The “Spirit Core” is a container designed as a perfect sphere and it is made of Metatron. Within the container is the Heralidic Crystal made for us by Aldaris Sanctum. The Metatron container absorbs the energy from the crystal which is then drawn out of the container by receptors also made of Metatron which distributes the massive power to the rest of the Mech Unit, the shape of the container ensuring not too much energy is released from the crystal all at the same time. Another interesting thing about using the Spirit Core is that the Mech Unit produces no heat which makes the unit impossible to track using heat scanners.

-Holmcross Unit: The New Mecha Type-

After looking at the design basis of an AC the Core is made first and then the rest of the unit is built around the Core section. This was in itself a bad way to design an effective Mech Unit however, after comparing the AC design to the designs of the other Mecha we found that ACs give the most protection to the Pilot. So, we decided to keep the idea of the AC design but would remake the Mech unit as a cross between an Orbital Frame and Gundam with the basis of an AC. Thus, a new Mech Type was born, “Holmcross”.

Holmcross: A new Mecha which gives a great deal of protection to the Pilot. It also has the combat capabilities of an Orbital Frame as well as the power and ability to fight in any environment as a Gundam.

-Lost Legacy Revived-

After the reconstruction of all the damaged parts of the AC was complete we started making plans to create the new parts and unit’s frame. The cockpit was returned to the unit and placed in the section where the chest would be. Instead of building it like a Core Unit, we would be building the entire body as a whole. After finishing creating the robotics for the head, body, arms, and legs we installed various equipment and other such advanced technology. We then proceeded to build the frame on it which would give the unit its appearance.

Afterwards the unit looked nothing like an AC however we did make sure to keep the theme of Lost Legacy. The frame was colored black and crimson, still making it look like a Knight only now it appeared to be wearing lighter armor. However, its appearance kept its actual endurance and capabilities hidden. The frame was made of “SSA” (Self Supporting Armor) just like an Orbital Frame. Along with this, “Phase Shift Armor” has been installed for extra protection. The now completed body of the unit makes it appear somewhat slender, a close similarity with the Jehuty Orbital Frame only with actual feet. The unit was designed to be an Aerial Mecha but it is capable of moving on the ground as well with great speed. The design is very light but is capable of far greater strength than any other Mecha Type and has a high level of defense. Thus, the body was finally complete and Lost Legacy had at last been restored to a functional state. It was odd and probably just us, but, after the body was completed we could all feel something strange as if, Lost Legacy had already come back to life without us even activating the Spirit Core.

-Outfitting-

When we first found Lost Legacy it was missing some parts. It only had one thruster attached to it and remarkably it was still in operating order. From the data gathered from it we were able to determine the max speed of Lost Legacy, which was beyond the normal speed for an AC. However, this Holmcross Unit is capable of withstanding even greater speeds so we decided to replace the thrusters rather than rebuild them. From our information on the massive space fortress the SDF-1 we decided to look further into the “Reflex Cannon” technology. Later on we started comparing the thrusters used on Orbital Frames and the famous Wing Zero Gundam. Then, we decided to put all three technologies together to create duel purpose thrusters. These hybrid thrusters were called “Ark Thrusters” and they are capable of flipping over the shoulders to become Reflex Cannons which are far more powerful than the ones used on the SDF-1 despite their smaller size. The Ark Thrusters were built into the back and connecting arms are used to extend them out to the sides for use.

The original cape was basically gone, burned by the explosion and re-entry into the planet’s atmosphere. So, we replaced it with an experimental technology. The “Fold System” is very useful especially in situations where the target is using a beam weapon (Shots are the speed of light). By using Nano technology we created a cape which resembles a normal cloth cape similar to the original one worn by Lost Legacy. It has been called the “Phase Cape” and it is made up of Nano-Assemblers which have been installed with the bits of the Fold System. The cape is large enough to wrapped around the entire unit which also gives it defensive capabilities. When the Fold System is activated the Nano-Assemblers will combine with each other to put the system together, this will also cause the white cape to become a little more solid as it takes the appearance of wings. The wings will then flap and literally fold the space around the unit to instantly move to another location in the area by using the thoughts of the Pilot to determine the new location. Just as before, the Fold System cannot be used while inside a structure and it is recommended to use it only in space.

From the data retrieved from Lost Legacy’s memory banks it seems that Cronic had a ship called the Blue Star which allowed him enter and exit the planet’s atmosphere. This is actually a good ability to have especially if the enemy has support weaponry of some kind in space. So, we wanted to give the Holmcross Unit the ability to do the same. After looking over our data files of technology relating to the subject we discovered a system called the “Mass Driver”. By firing the Mass Driver Beam the unit is able to accelerate up the shaft of the beam at amazing speeds, propelling it into outer space. We wasted no time and quickly got to work on installing the Mass Driver into the forearms of the unit.

In order to make better use of the new technology the “SEI” (Superior Estimation Index) program was installed into the unit’s Metatron Computer. The SEI is an index simulating personal and enemy comprehensive combat levels, including war machine data, pilot ability, and the current combat situation. This can be used in many ways and also allows the unit itself the chance to react to any sort of weapon.

Many weapons have been made for this unit to use however it is unable to carry them all. So, it has been outfitted with its own “Vector Trap” in order to store the weapons and use them whenever the Pilot wants to. When high velocity and rotation are applied to Metatron, the result is an effect such that the space above it is sucked in towards the rotating axis, and the motion of the created distortion trying to quickly restore itself is like that of a rubber band. This distorted space then snaps shut, and can be used as a type of cargo bay. This process is called a Vector Trap. The make-up of the enclosed items remain the same.

Finally, we started looking into a way of bringing up the defensive capabilities of the unit. It was already very strong against physical attacks so we decided to try and raise its energy weapon defense. To do this, we looked into the shields used by ACs, Gundams, and Orbital Frames. We built a multi type shield onto the left arm elbow which resembles the same one used by Jehuty. It is called the “Aegis Guard” and it is capable of projecting two types of fields. Now, it is a fact that most types of lasers will reflect off of a mirror so the first shield type is a field with the same properties of a mirror. The second shield type projects a field which distorts reality by routing power from the Spirit Core directly into the field. This will even cancel out Anti-Matter weapons and most other kinds of weapons. However, the shield for both modes only cover the front of the unit so caution will need to be used when facing multiple enemies.

-Armament-

X-Blade MK2: Surprisingly enough we were able to retrieve Lost Legacy’s primary weapon from the crash site. The massive solid type sword that could attach onto the right arm to become a Charged Particle Cannon. It was a great idea and design and even though it was damaged the blade was still sharp enough to cut through a Mech. We decided to modify the weapon for it to be used with the new Lost Legacy unit. The old X-Blade model was based on a Zweihander Great Sword so we used the same weapon as the basis for this new model. We made the width of the blade smaller which reduced its weight and made it more effective as a close combat weapon without bringing its defensive capabilities down. Also, because of the unit producing no heat in the first place, the Charged Particle Cannon can be fired up to six times before having to allow the systems to cool down. We also added the ability for the weapon to use a Vector Trap to contain enemy fire. For instance, a beam of any size or power can be stored within the Vector Trap and then fire it back or fire it in another direction. In addition to increasing the power output of the Charged Particle Cannon we also added another function to it which allows the weapon to draw energy directly from the Holmcross Unit. We have still been unable to calculate just how powerful the blast of the cannon will be. Also, we have no idea what else doing this may mean when the weapon draws in power from the special function of the cockpit. Not much is known about it though the original Pilot of Lost Legacy called it “Chronical Limiter”.

TITAN-SM: SM stands for Spread Missiles which is exactly what this weapon does. It is a missile launcher which fires two multi-warheads which both release three TITAN missiles. We have equipped the unit with four TITAN-SMs, one on both legs as well as on both shoulders. Also, thanks to the Metatron Computer, the missiles can be fired backwards, up, down, and to the sides as well. This is very helpful when facing a large number of enemies.

Reflex Cannons: The same weapon used on the SDF-1 (Macross Fortress). It is a Heavy Particle Cannon that has been reduced in size thanks to the Spirit Core technology. The Ark Thrusters can flip over the shoulders and turn into the Reflex Cannons within a split second and then fire almost just as fast, though the more powerful blasts take longer time to charge. When the plates rotate while firing the beams will separate into many other smaller beams that spread out in order to hit a larger number of targets. When the cannons are fully charged the multi beams will be the same size as a normal beam which results in each beam making a blast radius that can hit other nearby units. It is also very effective when used against ground forces from the air.

Power Sword: Similar to the sword equipped on the Orbital Frame Jehuty, this weapon is also attached onto the right arm elbow. When it is going to be used the blade flips down along the forearm for slashing or stabbing an enemy. However, unlike the original version of the sword, energy can be charged into the blade which allows it to strike even beams. Using this sword is faster than going for the X-Blade MK2.

MG2000/Rail: The most advanced solid shell Machine Gun ever made. Its design is based on a Rail Gun which allows the gun to fire a hundred a second while on burst mode. This MG has perfect accuracy and can hit targets that are at long range.

SNIPER200-MK6: A powerful beam rifle. It has a range of 100 kilometers with a precision and accuracy able to shoot at a person looking through a small window on a space ship with the aid of the Metatron Computer working the aim with the thoughts of the Pilot giving it a target. This weapon is very deadly when used against other Mecha as it can hit a cockpit very easily as beams travel at the speed of light.

Metatron Blaster: The idea for this came from the weapon used by the VF-Metal Siren. The frame releases Matatron particles and then exerts the energy from the Spirit Core out of the body. The surging unstable energy then shoots off in the paths created by the Metatron particles. The unstable energy causes abnoralities in the atoms of whatever it touches causing an explosion somewhat similar to an Atom Bomb. The energy then continues to run through the structure until everything is destroyed. This can only be used when the unit is inside a structure. It is the ultimate weapon for destroying Fortresses and Battle Ships.

-Special Functions-

Decimator System: This basically turns the entire unit into a weapon. The energy from the Spirit Core is released directly into the frame. Anything that touches or effects the frame is literally removed. This can only be used for a few moments though or else the unit will cease to function due to lack of power. It will then need to have its systems rebooted.

?????: This is the secret function that can be accessed when the Chronical Limiter system is triggered. There is no data on this or what it allows the unit to be capable of.

-Unit Activation-

We had finally finished building the unit and were now ready to activate it. After switching on the Spirit Core the entire unit became active. All systems were in full working order and there were no errors or problems. The eyes of the unit though, turned dark blue after a few minutes. This interested us however, when we tried to figure out what had caused it, the unit was not allowing us to enter the cockpit. It was as if the Holmcross Unit was actually living.

Because of this, we have not been able to test the unit or even run it through simulations. We believe that these actions have something to do with the Pilot/Mech Interface System. If this is true, then that means the unit will only respond to its original Pilot. It probably believes that Cronic is indeed dead so the change in its eye color could be referring to the emotion of sadness. Because it is obviously still Lost Legacy we have decided to name the unit “Final Legacy”. We will be sending the Holmcross Unit to the Fenril Knights for their Head Tech Officer, the famous Kjeldor, to look over and try to figure out an answer to this as well as make any additions he may find useful.

-Reference-

Narria: A world that exists on its own without any other different realities. It is seen as a hub for the many different threads of dimensions, each thread having its own many different realities, Plains of Existence, Deities, names, space and time. Narria is world comprised of thoughts as well since whenever a being from Narria enters a thread that which belongs in that world soon comes into existence within Narria (Technology, ideas, elements, magics, and races). That which holds Narria in existence is Aether. Aether is what binds other threads to Narria and it is also what allows beings of Narria to pass into other threads by using rifts called Aether Gates.

Aether Gate: A gap in the text of reality. This is created when random thoughts come together relating to the texts and then remove the writings. This then forms an empty space that can lead to an endless amount of different things which could be put there instead but may already be written in another place. When a person steps through an Aether Gate they are turned into pure thought which is then randomly taken to a place that has the same text in relation to their own.

Metatron: Considered one of the two greatest discoveries in space development, along with the LEV, this mineral ore was found on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter, in the early 21st century. Widely researched and applied in a number of different fields. In the case of Orbital Frames, Metatron has metamorphic properties and can form new weapons and repair it's own armor because of the Metatron. Because it's circuits are also made of Metatron, when programs are "downloaded" it actually physically changes the circuits. Metatron also has somewhat of a resemblance to organic properties.

Aldaris Sanctum: A Heralidic who is the Headmaster at the University of the Arts in the Kingdom of Ditreland. He was one of the most well respected warriors in Narria and was known for his high level of magic and mental focus. When the Heralidic Capital, Ancientcian, in Narria was destroyed by the “Quadric Cannon” during the “Death War” Aldaris managed to save the archives of knowledge collected by the Heralidic Race and then left Narria. He now lives in Ditreland as the Keeper of the Arts who guards the boundless knowledge gathered by the Heralidic Race for eons.

Heralidic: A magical being that can use Life Energy instead of Mana. It is believed that when a Heralidic is born their spirit is fully awakened. This allows them to use their thoughts to work with reality and the makings of existence. Also, a Heralidic is capable of understanding concepts of other Plains as well as comprehend that which Humans cannot for a Human’s awareness is normally focused only within the Material Plain of Existence (In terms of computers. The Material Plain of Existence, the world we live in, is like Windows and the other Plains of Existence are DOS. For one, even if you don’t believe in religion or spirits you would believe that something exists only if you think it exists, which is actually the Absolute Plain of Existence, Plain of Thought. The basis of all creation).

Heralidic Crystal: A crystal with unlimited energy. When a Spirit that is without a link to a physical body is killed (It loses its free will and awareness) it will lose all defining properties of itself and simply remain as its truest form, pure spirit energy. Spirit Energy, or Kai, is what makes up the positive realm of the Spiritual Plain of Existence. It is like still water. Each spirit is like a stone which is tossed into the water. This creates waves which travel outward. All the waves effect each other just as every spirit effects another. A dead spirit makes no waves. Because of this, it can be controlled by the waves of another spirit by directly acting upon it. Only a Heralidic can do this for they mentally exist in both Plains at the same time. When a Heralidic acts upon a dead spirit they can add a physical definition of the Material Plain to it. Normally, this wouldn’t do anything because without thought or an awareness of its own the dead spirit would simply be something close to what we call a Ghost. However, a Heralidic also uses their own link between their body and soul as a means to support the existence of the spirit within the Material Plain as an actual physical object. The object the Heralidic chooses to make it into is a crystal as it is the most effective form to suit the purposes.

Kai: Spiritual Energy. Souls and the Spiritual Plain of Existence are all made up of Kai. Kai is the opposite of physical yet it is what allows the Material Plain to exist with life in it.

Mana: A planet’s Life Force. Every action a person makes exerts Kai (Which is invisible to us as it has no physical definition in our world). The exerted Kai flows into the planet where it is gathered at the focal point of the life flow. The Kai is then touched by the flow of life energy and turned into Mana. The Mana is then exerted back to all other life forms. Mana is also the life force found within the Material Plain so when it is exerted back to those who exert Kai it creates another energy called Ken.

Ken: Physical Energy. The exact opposite of Kai, it is created when Mana touches the body. Ken is stored within every living cell and can be triggered by strong emotions. Unlike Kai, Ken can have a direct effect on physical objects when the person makes contact with it. When Kai and Ken are combined they join to create a new hybrid energy that is both spiritual and physical.

Aether: The structure of existence. Aether is used along with definitions and thought to create things in both reality and existence. In other terms it is the paper used to write our lives on.

Absolute Powers: The ultimate power that surpasses all else is derived from Human emotion. The emotions of people have a strong influence on their Kai and Ken. A strong emotion that is felt can give a person the ability to go beyond their limits and go to any level in order to attain their goal. The three most powerful emotions are Love, Courage, and Hope.

Spirit Core: It was discovered that due to Metatron resembling the cell structure of an organism it actually has Ken stored within it. The Kai from a Heralidic Crystal is drawn by the Ken and then absorbed directly into the Metatron’s physical properties like a sponge. This is the same process performed by Mana. By placing a Heralidic Crystal within a container made of Metatron, the Kai will be exerted from the crystal and absorbed by the Metatron. The Ken in the Metatron then converts the Kai into a raw form of energy which can be used to power things based in the Material Plain. Just like Mana, the energy from the crystal will continue to supply the power for eternity. As long as the Kai remains in the Metatron it won’t become unstable.

SSA: Stands of “Self Supporting Armor”. It is made of Metatron and is used to build Orbital Frames. A multi-layered, highly molecular armor that is flexible enough to be pushed in just by touching its surface while at the same time able to withstand impact with a level of durability exceeding even that of ceramics. It also replenishes itself when destroyed by rerouting sufficient amounts of energy and Metatron minerals from other sections.

Phase Shift Armor: Phase Shift Armor is used on next generation mobile suits to give them invulnerability to physical attacks. Invulnerability is defined as attacks from conventional explosives and mostly any 'beating'. Extremely intense explosions such as the self destruction of another mobile suit in the immediate vicinity is terms for some heavy damage, as well as a continued barrage of projectiles with high impact. When beam energy impacts with the armor, destruction occurs. Phase Shift does not protect from beam weapons at all.

Vector Trap: When high velocity and rotation are applied to Metatron, the result is an effect such that the space above it is sucked in towards the rotating axis, and the motion of the created distortion trying to quickly restore itself is like that of a rubber band. This distorted space then snaps shut, and can be used as a type of cargo bay. This process is called a Vector Trap. The make-up of the enclosed item remains the same.

Mass Driver: A Mass Driver is a complex new way to launch an object into space. In an example from Gundam SEED, the Archangel fires the Mass Driver 'beam', and it is then able to accelerate up the shaft of the beam at amazing speeds, propelling it into outer space. The method is primarily used to transport things to colonies for repairs, or things to the moon, but can certainly be used by things like ships and cruisers if properly equipped.

Metatron Computer: An enormous improvement to the previously popular Von Neuman digital computer. This quantum computer, which incorporates metatron-based integrated circuits, is both compact and exceedingly quick. Memory and programs are managed on a single, yet constantly changing set of circuits, so that both of these operations take place simultaneously and constantly. In terms of quantum physics, it operates in a different dimension.

SEI: Stands for “Superior Estimation Index”. An index simulating personal and enemy comprehensive combat levels, including war machine data, pilot ability, and the current combat situation.

H-1: An A.I. program that was originally created for the purpose of taking care of Humanity. However, its programming went wrong and instead tried to destroy all Human life. The technology H-1 created was very advanced and it was also responsible for the creation of the AC Technology. During the war between Global Cortex and the newly revived Raven’s Nest, a skilled AC Pilot named Cronic was talked into joining the Raven’s Nest. Cronic’s AC, Lost Legacy, was modified using highly advanced technology created by H-1 which included the powerful X-Blade weapon.

Nano-Assemblers: Micro sized robots which can be used for a variety of things.

Soul Interface System: This is a very complex system that increases the performance of both the Pilot and the Mech. Over time, this system will make the Mech into a sort of living person with emotions and free will. It will also have generally the same persona of the Pilot as well.

Holmcross: It is the name given to the new Mecha Type (Living metal, human soul). A Holmcross is a unit that resembles a living being in many ways. Its main aspect is the Spirit Core which allows it to run forever. A combination of the best Mecha technologies come together to make this powerful unit.

Ark Thrusters: A cross between Arkjet Boosters and Reflex Cannons. These thrusters are capable of charging the energy from the Spirit Core with Kenetic Energy to create a moving force. They don’t use fuel of any kind which makes them very efficient.

SDF-1: Otherwise known as the Macross Fortress. This massive ship fell to Earth one day and was studied by scientist. After realizing that the technology of the ship was far greater than any on Earth it was rebuilt and called the SDF-1.

Phase Cape: This cape looks normal but is far from it. It is made up of many Nano-Assemblers which are made of Metatron. The Nano-Assemblers can form together to build a Fold Generator which allows for instant movement.

Fold Generator: A highly advanced technology. It is capable of folding space which can allow something to move from point A to point B instantly. The process is done by mixing anti-matter and matter together which results in folding space.

Aegis Shield: It is capable of projecting two types of fields. Now, it is a fact that most types of lasers will reflect off of a mirror so the first shield type is a field with the same properties of a mirror. The second shield type projects a field which distorts reality by routing power from the Spirit Core directly into the field. This will even cancel out Anti-Matter weapons and most other kinds of weapons.

Data Cube: On odd device personally built by Aldaris. It is capable of attaching itself to any computer system and physically changing the internal circuits to literally make itself apart of the computer. The cube contains all the data known about Mecha technology. It is used to make a Mecha unit before actually building it. The data from the cube is never wrong and always gives calculations and results in terms of actuality.

Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC): A system which allows mobile suits to maneuver more efficiently in zero gravity. Conventional spacecraft employ vernier thrusters to change their direction, but using verniers to turn and perform evasive maneuvers in combat consumes a lot of propellant. When the first mobile suits were developed, the engineers of the Zeonic company devised an alternative maneuvering method based on active mass movement.
When one part of a mobile suit is moved, it produces a counter-movement in the opposite direction, as per Newton's Third Law of Motion. For example, when a mobile suit swings its arm to the right, its body turns to the left in response. The AMBAC system uses this effect to adjust the mobile suit's direction without expending propellant. Thus, in zero gravity the mobile suit's arms and legs are not dead weight, but a vital component of its maneuvering system.

Anti-beam coating: While armor materials like Luna Titanium and Gundarium alloy are highly effective against projectiles, they offer virtually no defense against beam weapons. However, some protection can be provided by anti-beam coating, an ablative material which partially absorbs the kinetic energy of mega particle beams. This coating evaporates due to the extreme heat, so it can only be used a few times before losing its effectiveness.

Binder: The mobile suits of the One Year War era use an orthodox humanoid design, with movable arms and legs which can be employed for zero-gravity maneuvering thanks to the AMBAC system. Postwar designs develop this concept further, equipping the mobile suit with independently movable parts called binders in addition to the standard four limbs. These devices can likewise be used for AMBAC maneuvering, and their movability makes it easy to change the direction of any weapons or thrusters housed within the binder itself. The simple construction of these binders also provides ample space for propellant storage.

I-field: When Minovsky particles are released into the air or into open space, the positive and negative particles spontaneously align themselves into a three-dimensional cubic lattice. Due to the repulsive and electrostatic forces between the Minovsky particles, this lattice functions as a kind of a force field, which is referred to as an I-field. This field has difficulty permeating conductive materials like metal, water, and plasma, and it exerts a repulsive force against mega particles.
This phenomenon has numerous applications. I-fields are used to confine plasma inside thermonuclear reactors, to create lift via the Minovsky craft system, and to focus and accelerate mega particle beams. The protective device known as the I-field generator, meanwhile, uses a powerful I-field as a barrier to deflect enemy beam attacks.

I-field generator: A protective device which uses a powerful I-field to deflect enemy mega particle beams. Due to its high power requirements, the I-field generator can only be installed in large mobile weapons like the MA-08 Big Zam, RX-78GP03 Dendrobium and AMA-X2 Neue Ziel. When the generator is activated, the I-field forms an invisible barrier around the mobile weapon, protecting it from incoming beam attacks. However, this barrier has no effect against solid objects like missiles and projectiles, and beam weapons can still be used at point blank range within the barrier's boundary. [Gundam, Gundam 0083]

magnet coating: A special membrane treatment applied to mobile suit joints to improve their response speed. The mobile suits developed by the Earth Federation Forces use special actuators called field motors, whose efficiency is increased by the magnet coating process. The treatment also reduces friction resistance in the mobile suit's joints.

mega launcher: The most powerful class of beam weapon used by mobile suits. The mega launcher is a large mega particle cannon with firepower exceeding that of a warship's guns, which draws its power from a built-in thermonuclear reactor. Though mega launchers are equipped with maneuvering verniers, their sheer bulk reduces the mobility of the mobile suits that carry them, and due to their high power requirements they must spend a considerable amount of time charging up prior to each shot. To speed up this recharging process, additional mobile suits can be connected to a mega launcher to serve as energy tanks.

Metal Peel-off Effect: This special feature of the F91 Gundam is a byproduct of the Multiple Construction Armor concept. In addition to its radiators and cooling ducts, the F91 can also dissipate excess heat by shedding the outer layers of its armor. This process creates afterimages of the mobile suit made up of metallic particles, which can deceive not only the eyes of enemy pilots, but also radar and other sensors.
