Throwing in a brief desc of the revamped Minerva:
Spoiler for Techbabble:
The Minerva-RE is a non-Infinite Stratos (IS) unit. It is a general-purpose powered battle-armor built by the renegade organization Praxidike for anti-terrorism scenarios. Being the first and possibly the only one of its kind, the Minerva-RE is built in a way unlike any other humanoid armor unit, including the ISes.
The Minerva-RE, unlike the IS, doesn’t sport a single central power core that manages the entirety of the unit. Instead, a network of miniature nuclear reactors are built into various parts of the unit allowing swift power supply to multiple parts of the battle-armor simultaneously. These reactors generate power in the presence of charged particles or ions, causing the unit to expel bright particles out of its exhausts and thrusters instead of flame jets.
A single limiter system is imposed on all the built-in reactors to control its power generation rate, allowing maximum possible energy generation without posing any threat of overloading or risks of breaching the unit’s armor integrity.
Being a class of its own, the Minerva-RE’s processor core and power supply are set as separate modules for better, specialized management of the unit’s various applications.
Due to technological challenges, the Minerva-RE is limited to in-built weaponry:
- Twin particle beam guns on the tip of each of its forelimbs. Boasting the efficiency of hi-speed focused particle projectors, these guns are able fire particle beams in rapid succession.
- Two beam sabers, one attached to rotating sheaths on each side of the unit’s waist. The beam sabers generate blade-shaped barriers from its hilts which are then filled with searing charged particles, propelled in a loop at very fast speeds using energy recyclers and particle accelerators.
Unlike an IS, the Minerva-RE does not have a Closed Form. Instead, its armor parts are mounted onto the pilot himself.
Other features:
- An overclock feature which disables the limiter system on the reactors. At the expense of various risks of breach and overload, the nuclear reactors intake hefty amounts of ions and generates even more power at a faster rate. When active, the reactors also generate immense levels of heat which is then expelled as trailing afterimages, confusing enemy targeting systems.
