[ (Geotron Electronics - 3rd Generation Armored Mobile Master-Slave System)
ARX-7 ARBALEST ]
SPECIFICATIONS
( Specs )
A third generation AS with a fully electric drive system. It is in the possession of the secret military organization, Mithril. The pilot is Sergeant Sousuke Sagara of the SRT. Its unit design comes from an actual weapon that existed in the middle-ages - the crossbow.
The Arbalest is an experimental unit built in absolute secrecy based on the prototype M9 Gernsback. Its basic functionality and construction conform to that of Mithril’s M9s that the other SRT squad members pilot. It includes a Palladium Reactor (cold fusion reactor) as a power source with features such as the ECS (electromagnetic camouflage system) that allows for invisible mode, state-of-the-art vetronics (on-board electric apparatus), and an Al (call sign “Al”) with a voice recognition. It also shares many of the various options, equipment, and repair parts of M9.
The reason it is an experimental unit because of the special device that occupies a large portion of the unit called the Lambda Driver. The Lambda Driver is said to amplify the pilot’s offensive and defensive impulses, and to convert them into paraphysical force. In Episode 1, it protected the unit from a direct hit by rounds fired from a tank cannon and it has similarly protected Sousuke in times of danger on several other occasions. However, being born of technology called Black Technology that transcends established theories, details regarding the Lambda Driver and the principles upon which it operates are unknown. The Arbalest is the sole unit in Mithril’s possession that is equipped with the Lambda Driver.

[ M9 GERNSBACK (Arm Slave/AS) ]
Unable to provide information at this point.
[ M9 FALKE (Geotron Electronics 3rd Generation Arm Slave)
M9 D Series Prototype Falke ]
SPECIFICATIONS
( Specs )
In developing the 3rd generation ASs, Geotron considered several variations on the model. Aside from the E series, which became the basis for the mass production model, there is the one C series model that became the ARX-7 and this D series prototype, the Falke.
It seemed like the Falke would never develop beyond the plan on the drawing board, but two prototypes were manufactured at Geotron’s Dortmund plant. The additional armor on the upper body and the jet-black paint job makes it appear very different, but the basic specs are the same as the E series. However, since the Lambda Drive that was planned for it was left off, there is leeway in its payload.
The Falke is equipped with an “ITCC-5 Integrated Tactical Message Control System”, a highly advanced data link for commanding the frontline, and its pilot Belfangan Clouseau. In his hands, the falke displays capabilities that are incomparable to that of normal M9s.

[ RK-92 Savage (Arm Slave/AS) ]
A second generation AS that is widely used in the Eastern-black countries. Cheap and produced in large quantities, all sorts of modifications and variations have been developed. The old models that Gates deployed in the tunnel under Yangtze were all unmanned. The manned units that appeared in the later half were relatively newer models.
[ MH-67 PAVE MARE (Aircraft Medium Lift Assault Helicopter) ]
The two-engine medium transport helicopter that Mithril employs. Its nickname is the Pave Mare. They are commonly used to deliver ASs, combat personnel, and their weaponry. They act a s swift delivery mechanism of land troops to the theater of operation.
The craft was based on the CH-67, which was developed primarily by aircraft manufacturers like Sikorsky and Martin Marietta. This was made more compact with the use of the latest in 90s technology based on the design concepts used in the large H-53 metal helicopters. In spite of being a medium helicopter, this highly reliable and easily maintained helicopter was able to attain take-off weight, speed, and flying range comparable to that of the MH-67. The MH-67s of the Tuatha de Danaan Battle Group are equipped with next generation ECS, and for mounted armament they have one AM-11 12.7mm chain gun and two M134 miniguns. They can also fire Hellfire AGMs and Stinger Missiles.
The assault landing submarine TDD-1 has eight of these MH-67s on board. A number of them are stationed on Merida Island as well and are used for a variety of purposes, such as transporting members of Guam.
[ PLAN 1058 < CHODAR i > (3rd Generations Arm Slave) ]
SPECIFICATIONS
( Specs )
Amalgam’s pride and joy, the AS with a Lambda Driver and an ominous silhouette, Mithril’s identifying code for it is Venom, the same as for the m type. On this occasion, it appears as Gates’ personnel AS. It is also the model once used by Gauron on Berlidaobu Island. While rudimentary, it is equipped with an ECS capable of invisibility mode. Technologically speaking, their ECS particularly excels at hiding long wavelengths of light, and the entire AS is painted in red to take advantage of this characteristic. Its basic performance is the same as the M9. However, there are no ordinary means for an M9 to win against Chodar i equipped with a Lambda Driver.
The AS was picked up by the TDD-1 after the operation on Berildaobu Island. While it was only a short time, the technical officer Reming conducted an examination of it. As a result, it is known that the construction of its Lamba Driver is approximately the same as the device equipped with on the ARX-7.
