No military deployment for OFFENSIVE purpose, Military I.S. is allowed for self-defense against invading forces that use I.S. themselves. (so it's like Cold War once again...)

Why should she? She's a projection

[demino_hellsin]

first time I read rule 2 and 4 I was like OwO??? wtf? It made no sense to me. To be honest, to some extent right now it still doesn't.

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - Eh? She's a real person in Daydreams.

[ZeroXSEED]

That's why Personal I.S. is given to noobies Cadet Rep than a senior/professional one. The longer they keep the research a secret, the better.

@Eras
The more reason she doesn't need robotic parts. Maybe for Life Arc if you do it then, allow tragic, dramatic robot reveal.

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - What robotic parts? Headphones for ears?

[ZeroXSEED]

Eh..... wait..... headphones? Vocaloid allusion FTW!

(In Macross Plus there's an AI Idol Singer that is Yandere for Main Character Isamu, maybe we can have some shoutout without Yandere part )

[demino_hellsin]

can we still consider personal machines military grade or not? Considering that silver gospel is an experimental military type, it still took 6 of them to take it down. (5 while it was only in first shift)

Spoiler for New idea/Premises:

Ironically the most Idealistic and fantasy scenario.

The event take place in an alternate universe....

Harbinger decide to execute their final plan, unleashing their secret weapon against the world. They assassinated all the world leaders overnight, leaving the nations in chaos. Their weapons destroyed part of the world, and causing the "ending" to earth's ice-age.

As water level rises and people panicking with no leaders, one unit stand against them, the legendary White Knight which destroy their reign of terror.

With renewed hope, people continue to live on and three nations emerged: Kingdom of Eden, Axis Era, New World Alliance.


Since there is technically not much land left, "lands" are technically very large ship. A country is just a fleet of these Land-ship joined together.


Kingdom of Eden has a Monarchy system and is the big good of the three kingdom.....The shiny goodness. Unfortunately there is a rumor that the king is not human. Although it is the best place to live in but.... this is a nation that practice necessary evil, something WILL definitely just feels off...

Especially if people who came from the other two country... somehow they became nicer people. This is more apparent when the said person is a psychopath

Axis Era is militaristic and wanted to unite the world under one flag. Run by a council which determine the law and since it is a militaristic nation, Law is absolute. Punishment is swift and painful.

New World Alliance, at the very worst, corrupted, if you have the money, you can get away Scot free for everything, rape,murder...etc. But compare to other two, this is the only nation that offer both freedom and free will.....

The Three nations although hated each other but is on a truce against a bigger enemy which sent swarms of drones to attack the land-ship from time to time.

Recently a Fourth Faction appear, the objective is unknown though it appear to be "friendly" but never an ally to any of the three nations. An interdependent faction. Most normal citizen consider it as an urban legend.

======more information in this universe======
Women in the military are IS pilots while men, are either battleship crews or captains. The reason why there is no woman working in a battleship and captain is simple: they need all the forces they can gather against the Drones.

Canon Characters:

--Kingdom of Eden---
Ichika: Due to his ability to pilot IS, Ichika is conscripted into Eden's IS force, undergo training in ISA. Later assigned to 125th Task Force.
Rank: Cadet, 2nd Lieutenant.

Chifuyu: A Legendary Pilot, currently gone MIA. Rumored to have joined the Fourth Faction.
Rank: Major

Charlotte: Join Eden's IS force in hope to gain her father's respect.
Rank: Cadet, 2nd Lieutenant.

----Axis Era---
Laura: (duh!), Enter ISA to show off Axis Era
Rank: 1st Lieutenant.

Rin: Joined on the excuse of trying to steal data from Ichika but the truth is, she wanted to meet him again.
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant.

---New World Alliance---
Cecilia: Enter ISA to polish her skill.
Rank: Novice. In NWA, there is no rank!


---Fourth Faction---
Houki: Belongs to the mysterious fourth Faction. Undergoing training in ISA under the guise that she is a Eden's cadet.
Rank: Little Sister?

Tabane?: Rumored to be the head of the Fourth Faction though.... nobody can confirm this fact....

What do you think?

[Eratas123]

@ Demi - No, the Military grade one's are kept in the home country. They're using the test units.

@ Senpai - Any other parts?

[demino_hellsin]

...so...that means they're weak?

[Eratas123]

@ Treme - How many fics are you planning?

@ Demi - More like new. They're the same strength as the regular, but they don't have the advantage of constant maintenance.

Personal is usually better than older generation MP unit... in CERTAIN aspect, and full of flaws.

Silver gospel was a perfected next gen military unit and put it simply has better stat than everyone else and no flaw, no wonder you need a lot of specialist unit using combined battle tactic.

(Though if Houki is at the level of Tatenashi in skill, with Akatsubaki, I expect she could solo it herself )

[demino_hellsin]

this is confusing @_@ That means Ichika and his ladies are holding state of the art military weaponry. But it still took 6 of them to take down a similar grade, though experimental, AI. Granted they were merely students but it shouldn't have been on a level they couldn't handle. They had a super soldier for crying out loud!(indulge me for a bit)

Another confusing issue I just realized. Silver Gospel is a confidential court-martialable top military secret. But research was not conducted in ISA. Shouldn't the researchers be court-martialed for breaking Alaskan Treaty?

[Eratas123]

Skill does not equate sync level. It just means she has an easier time accessing her unit's capabilities. Laura could still beat her though sheer training alone.

[ZeroXSEED]

Yeah I wonder that, topping the icing of the cake, a new HANDHELD version of the wing-like weapon is developed secretly after Gospel is taken down. Damn it America.

We really have to fix that issues...

[demino_hellsin]

Gentlemen... canon is breaking itself in half. I believe we have just succeeded in dividing by z- *implodes*

EDIT: Another thing. Does the silver gospel also suffer the 800 shield point limit? Because when I read Ichika's comments, it seemed that military IS were... less restricted in the IS basic capabilities.(which may explain the hard time they had but Ichika only mentioned that the military IS may have a longer running time than they did.)

[ZeroXSEED]

Yeah, breaking in half.

For example, the H4X-ness of Silent Zephyr can be attributed to the fact that it's Blue Tears... without it's weakness. 1. It has defensive Bit 2. Has projectile weapon 3. has decent CQC weapon. That's because most of the technology is TRANSFERED from the data provided by Blue Tears.

Gospel's entrance really makes me wonder however, especially the fact that Chifuyu said it's top secret...

EDIT: Yes it has (shown in anime anyway), but since even Uchigane has 800.. my assumption that some I.S. are more efficient at using their Shield Point than other.

[Eratas123]

Don't forget that this is a harem novel. The military stuff comes second. Why do you think there's no completely serious story apart from Jak's?

[demino_hellsin]

Well it was mentioned that Blue Tears isn't a lone unit but the bit units themselves. It was also mentioned that the Blue Tears and Schwarzer Regen were competing for mass production as Europe's main stay IS unit after moving on from the Rafael. We can probably treat Silent Zephyr not as a true military version of Blue Tears, but rather something akin to Char Aznable custom or something. Thus would it be safe for me to assume that the personal units ARE military grade, just... not combat ready?

Other than that... Seriously! Silver Gospel!

Thus far only Blue Tears seems to show a proper unit that's being customized at the homebase with data from the IS rep. Has anyone tried to make their own 'suped up version of the rep candidates' machines?

EDIT: @era-era: Hence I asked you to please indulge me. =)) Plus I'm killing 3 birds with 1 stone. Add to pages, cure my boredom and gain writing material.

[ZeroXSEED]

Nope, there's Clarissa's Schwarzer Zweig, but the name can give implication that's it's actually Second Gen instead.

@Eras
Yeah we knew, it's just that when you establish a rule, you have to obey it.
