Aion Type-γ (アイオーンTYPE‐γ) is the singular final prototype of the Gordias-class tactical archaism. It was developed by Ouroboros' Thirteen Factories under supervision of the Sixth Anguis, Dr. F. Novartis. It was bought by Dieter Crois.
Development[]
The Aion series was developed by Doctor Novartis as successors to Pater-Mater. Joerg Rosenberg objected to their creation much as he had to the development of Pater-Mater after Novartis took control of the project from him.
Capabilities[]
The Type-γ is designated as a Superdreadnought-class machine designed for anti-fortress and regional-defense operations.
Among the Aions, it is the most similar to Pater-Mater and is intended to be its successor unit. Its high power output enables it to engage and destroy large numbers of enemies simultaneously. It also has a special system enabling it to accept power from an external source, specifically Azure Demiourgos.
For defenisve purposes, the machine is equipped with a forward-facing electromagnetic barrier capable of blocking both ranged and melee attacks, rendering it virtually impervious to a head-on attack. Offensively, the Type-γ carries powerful claw hands equipped with integrated beam guns, rapid-fire missile launchers and a set of pilebankers capable of destroying tanks with a single blow.
However, the centerpiece of its weaponry is an enhanced version of Pater-Mater's Double Buster Cannon. The Aion adopts a shooting configuration in order to use this weapons, much like Pater-Mater.
History[]
The Type-α along with its brother units were deployed in Crossbell on October 24, S.1204 pursuant to a deal between Dieter Crois and Ouroboros.
The Type-γ was dispatched to destroy the 32nd Armored Division sent by Erebonia to occupy the city and completely annihilated the attacking tanks with its powerful arsenal. The Type-γ remained active and continued to protect Crossbell's borders over the following month.
During the liberation of Crossbell City, it deployed to attack a CGF unit supporting the resistance, where it was then met by Estelle and Joshua Bright and Renne along with Pater-Mater. The two Gordias machines engaged in a fierce battle but the newer Type-γ with its infinite power supply proved unbeatable. Pater-Mater was forced to grapple the Type-γ and activate its self-destruct system in order to protect Renne, resulting in the destruction of both machines.
