DGG-XAM3 Raioh (雷凰 )
The Dynamic General Guardian series were originally constructed by the Directory in response to the threat of the spaceborne Valsion type Super Robots. Fearing a return of the dreaded Ultimate Robot and recognizing the power of a symbolic weapon, the DGG were built with little in mind in regards to cost. When the Valsion failed to rematerialize however, the project was eventually shelved and the third unit - the Jinrai - was never constructed. The plans for it were acquired by Terra Sentinel early in its formation, and the third "Double G" was completed as one of their lynchpins - swift, powerful, and able to operated either remotely or autonomously, it served as the strong right hand of the enigmatic leader of Terra Sentinel, Hyperion, up until its destruction.
Considerable changes have been made to its armament, which now primarily focuses on physical strikes: specifically kicks. To aid with this, Raioh is equipped with a pair of high-power thrusters on either leg, as well as a quartet of Plasma Convertors on its limbs that allow it to seize and hold distant foes. Its agility and strength remains top class even for its size and weight thanks to a Terra-Sentinel developed ABMD System (Artificial Bone Muscle Drive), able to replicate the movements of a "ninja" nigh flawlessly.
Eliza apparently styled its movements and motion patterns after the combat style of the pilot of the Gespenst powered suit, Ana.
System LIOH
A system that was developed by the Directory during the Colonial Civil War, LIOH was intended to allow the earth-borne superpower to more quickly field and train their soldiers, who were otherwise at a disadvantage against the more battle-hardened Colonial forces. A cockpit-equipped Man-Machine Interface, LIOH scans the pilot's physical abilities, recommends a battle style, and after that supports the pilot. However the system wasn't completed by the end of the war, and it was eventually uncovered that LIOH was based on technology harvested from Colonial forces, notably the infamous and reviled GEIM System. As such, the project was forcibly terminated, and all traces of its existence intended to be erased, but a copy of the associated plans was recovered by Terra Sentinel operatives from a secure server in Vietnam, proving that it had been quietly filed away for further research.
Skeptical of outsiders, Hyperion mandated the inclusion of the LIOH System during Jinrai's reconstruction as an "insurance policy" to keep Eliza Kruger, who had recently joined their ranks, in line. On the Raioh in particular, LIOH supports the Direct Motion Link System and resists feedback from the five installed plasma drives, which would make the machine almost impossible to operate if it were removed. For a pilot such as Eliza, who has moved from standard controls to DML, its aid is nothing short of essential - even if she is unaware of its true nature.
