Twin Chain Guns: This weapon is attached onto the right arm, both the hand and forearm fitting into the port slot. On the side is medium sized titanium shield with Anti-Beam Coating on it, the shield used for guarding the arm, the unit’s torso, and the connector locks on the arm. There are two large chain barrel bundles which fire standard AT (Anti-Tank) shells. The ammo is kept within the shield part and is relayed using a rail system to the barrels for firing. Max ammo is 1000 rounds and rate of fire is 50 shots per second for each barrel.

Dragon MK2 (Custom): Head in the left hand, this is a very powerful Ast Rifle which fires AT shells. A Grenade Launcher is also attached to the bottom of it for extra fire power. Rifle ammo is 300 and Grenade ammo is 4. Two extra clips for the rifle are attached on the weapon’s sides for easy access giving it a Rifle ammo total of 900 shots.

Hybrid Flux Cannon: The newest Energy Weapon produced by Sanctum Ind. and made by Aldaris Sanctum (Me) himself especially for this “Soreru” Custom Unit. The “HFC” weapon is a Mega Particle Cannon based off of the VSBR. Equipped on the top left port of the EEWD Unit, the weapon is moved onto Soreru’s shoulder and becomes mounted on both, the Mecha and the EEWD. The individual parts of the weapon, which are all attached to the main barrel, are then sorted into place automatically by its built-in “MAGI” computer using “Magnetic Shifters” and “Hidden Hands”. After the weapon is finished being assembled (Whole process up to this point taking 6 seconds), it will then begin to charge the particles fed via the energy port from the EEWD Unit instead of using E-CAPs. Then, the plates equipped to the other ports of the EEWD Unit are released, the MAGI computer moving them into posistion in front of the main barrel using their built-in verniers. Once in place, the plates will begin to spin around in a circle (The MAGI computer using a electrical current to do so) while the weapon slowly releases the charging particles into the space between them (Same concept used for the X-Blade for Lost Legacy Reborn). The high speed rotation will increase the velocity of the particles as they fuse into Mega Particles within the weapon’s generator. Then, the cannon will fire, fusing both forces together to launch a high velocity mega particle beam capable of piercing any energy shield and blasting through a heavily armored Flag Ship, all in a single shot (Whole process in total takes 13 seconds). Also, the plates can be spread out farther away from each other in order to fire a slower, yet more powerful beam which can, if wanted, be used to plow through an entire group of Mecha or ships close together.

Beam Swords (Custom): The Soreru is equipped with a total of 4 Beam Swords (2 in the wrists and 2 in each side of the waist). Each one can be connected to another at the bottom of the hilt to make a twin blade energy swords. Both sets can do this, giving the Soreru undeniable superiority in close range combat. The possibilities for this setup are only limited to the Pilot’s imagination.

MG/800: Standard MG used by ACs. It has been altered to for Hard Point used though, and is fitted onto the side of the right leg.

Heat Blades: Heat is relayed to the blades from the Mecha and then they are extended out from both ends of the feet. This increases damage done with kicks, as the blades pierce a target’s armor.

-Cockpit-

Trinity System: The new cockpit system developed by Sanctum Ind. It uses a series of hologram programs instead of the standard control system. Light is used to track the movement of the body, turning the pilot himself into a control system. A grid is also formed along the insides of the cockpit to depict the computer’s zone layout. Each sector in the grid is carefully edited so as not to show any sign of the Mecha itself, allowing for a complete 360 degree view with nothing obstructing it.

Scanners: The machines which grasp the brainwaves of the Pilot, allowing him to connect directly to the unit. They function almost as another brain, recording the physical reactions and emotional responses of the Pilot. They hover mainly at about 2 cm between the Pilot's ears and temples, and function even if there is an obstacle blocking them. They can turn and move freely around the head.

-Frame-

Movable Frame: Rather than merely serving as a structural framework, the movable frame incorporates all the unit's vital mechanisms, including the actuators and control systems required for movement. In short, the movable frame includes everything except the weapons, armor, and propellant tanks. This approach dramatically improves the mobile suit's responsiveness, reliability, and energy efficiency, as well as making it far more agile than traditional designs.

Multiple Construction Armor: A new design concept used in the construction of the Z-1. In this approach, a variety of functions are incorporated into the unit’s armor layers. In addition to providing protection, the armor also incorporates circuitry and cooling systems, allowing this highly compact unit to make more efficient used of its limited internal space.

EEWD (Custom): The EEWD Unit uses four powerful magnetic connectors to grip onto the shoulders, back, and also part of the sides of a Mecha’s torso. To make up for the extra weight of equipment, four external Vernier Thrusters have been added to it (Two large thrusters on both sides below the wing binders and two smaller thrusters below it, all connected to the unit by linear arms). The shape of the EEWD is similar to a large backpack with two wings extending out to the sides from the top. The wings serve as the main binders with built in vernier jets for perfect maneuverability. On the ends of both wings are magnetic grips also used for holding equipment and weapons. Hidden under the EEWD Unit is an E-Port used to directly connect Energy Weaponry to the pack for greater power output. Located on the back of the unit are two manipulators which are used to hold equipment and weapons. This allows for two things. One) the manipulators can move the equipment/weapon to the arm of the Mecha, and Two) because of the EEWD Unit’s operating system being connected to the cockpit command drive, the manipulators can aim and fire the weapons they are holding. The EEWD is powered by its own Thermonuclear Reactor which allows for many applications. The unit is also installed with a self-destruct system just in case the situation requires it. Instead of sacrificing the Mecha, the EEWD Unit can be used instead or both, the Mecha and the EEWD, can self-destruct to generate an explosion of unbelievable magnitude. This custom unit allows for more space between the Soreru’s back and the unit itself for the folded up LT MK2s.

Linear Thrusters MK2: The prototype thrusters currently being tested by Sanctum Ind. The Soreru offers the perfect opportunity to test these new units. The LT MK2 are fusion based thrusters which use “Linear Arms” to move and change direction without the unit itself actually having to move (The same type of thrusters used on Lost Legacy Reborn). The two thrusters are folded up directly behind the torso of Soreru. When, at any time, the EEWD Unit is dropped, the two Linear Thrusters will unfold and move into posistion behind Soreru (Think Wing Zero and Tallgeese from G Wing, since its late and I don’t feel like trying to explain exactly how it looks).

Binders: Independently movable parts which resemble the wings of an aircraft. Each binder has a built-in jet unit and fuel tanks. The Soreru is equipped with these binders on its forelegs which work in relation to the Wing Binders on the EEWD Unit attached to its back. These binders can be ejected from the legs at any time, usually done so for when the EEWD is dropped so as not to cause moving issues while flying.

Thermonuclear Rockets: Propulsion units powered via the Darius Core. These boosters have been installed in the calfs of both legs and in the bottom of the feet to allow for hovering over land and increased acceleration while in the air and space.

-Internal-

Magnet Coating: A special membrane treatment applied to the unit’s joints to improve their response speed as well as reduce the friction within them. This has been applied to all of the joints in Soreru.

Bakelite: A red liquid solution that solidifies immediately upon application. Bakelite is typically used in electric cords for insulation and to prevent heating of the wires. This has been applied to all of the wires within Soreru.
