Zecht Arms (ゼクトアームズ) is a weapons technology developer and manufacturer operating in Calvard.

Background

They are a weapons manufacturer who are said to have opened 5 years prior to the events of Trails through Daybreak, and gained footholds in certain markets during the Great War. The Marduk Company are competitors with them in certain markets, but concierges such as Risette Twinings only have basic information about them. In recent times, they have been branching out into the field of security consignment but have not achieved major results in this area yet. It is rumoured they favour an approach using traditional weapons and security devices.

Zecht Arms maintains their own heavily armed security force. They also deploy agents to secure technology from leading developers through illicit means and industrial espionage. They deploy Archaisms. They also do illegal experimentation and use their weapons to stir conflicts up in other regions.

Zecht Arms also develop custom weaponry for individuals and the black market that are not products listed in their official line-up or catalogue. Viola's needle gun and Alexandre's mechanized gauntlets are two such weapons.

One year into their operations, they were developing an experimental weapon in the domain of Bergard Zeman. He intervened and stopped them due to the potential the weapon could have had on locals in the area.

Trails through Daybreak

In a sidequest, Van Arkride apprehends a Zecht Arms spy who has stolen technology- a special alloy) from the Verne Company using a honey pot scheme. She uses a special orbal gun in combat. Although they apprehend her, the data has already been obtained by Zecht Arms. She is handed over to either the police or the CID. She does not make much of the former, but the second option results in the CID negotiating with Zecht Arms.

Zecht Arms send a contingent of forces to take part in the Carnival in Oración by Almata. The team is able to make it all the way to Phase 3 before being eliminated by an unknown party. Their ultimate purpose is unknown, but after discoveries of devices branded 'ZF' they are suspected of developing weapons that can control monsters and they them deploy shard skills. Should Ouroboros be present, Ellroy Harwood will make a note to inform the Professor, F. Novartis. The Arkride Solutions Office takes this opportunity to speculate on their purpose. They suggest that Zecht Arms wanted to spread their name, but were mainly focused on experimentation and field testing.

Van and Bergard Zeman foil a group of Zecht Arms' forces when they operate in the vicinity of Edith. They confront Bergard, seeking payback for the incident four years ago. They blame him for stopping their advancements and try to take advantage of his de powering, but are ultimately stopped.

Trails through Daybreak II

The old Almata headquarters in Messeldam was bought out by Zecht Arms. Van and the party infiltrate it in hopes of finding the 'Legacy of Almata'. During the infiltration, they confront Rosalie, their chief developer who tries to fill the room with toxic gas when defeated, only to fail when Celis Ortesia and Leon Balthazar intervene. Quatre Salision crashes her software and erases all her work from the last six years, after handing everything incriminating over to the police.

Zecht Arms reappear in Nemeth Island, cooperating with Heiyue. Rosalie is leading their security force and is seeking the fragment of the Oct-Geneses. They are once again defeated.

Trails beyond the Horizon

Zecht Arms is revealed to have become part of the Thirteen Factories to make up for the loss of the Rosenberg Studio and the Black Workshop.
