  • ◆機体解説◆

    1989年オラーシャ掃討戦の最中、次々と出現するネウロイ群の巨大兵器に対する決定打となるため、カールスラント海軍技術将校フランツィスカ・ハルトマン中尉(当時)の指揮下、空・海軍共用の「可変式打撃戦術機003号」の名称で開発がスタートし、メッサーシャルフ社が製造に当たった。ウィッチの一般的なストライカーを拡大したものであり、搭乗するウィッチの魔法力を動力源にする事は変わりない。 設計思想は大戦中ブリタニアで極秘裏に開発されていた「ウォーロック」の流れを汲み、機体各部には接収したネウロイのコアを加工したものを組み込んでいるが、暴走及びネウロイ化のリスクは克服されている。機体は大型化しているが、搭乗者の思考または魔力により各部の加工コアを制御することで機体動作の反応速度は更に向上しており、コア自体が発するエネルギーにより搭乗者の体力、魔力負担も軽減される。また、魔導エンジンの出力も従来のストライカーを凌いでいる。 完成した試作初号機はオラーシャ掃討戦末期に実戦投入され、「ツォウベラー(魔術師)」の名称が与えられた。テストパイロットとしてフランツィスカ自らが搭乗し、白海に展開していた空母「フォン・ブラウン」から発艦した。機体に数カ所のクラックが見られたが、初出撃で大小含む10機の飛行型ネウロイを撃墜した。次世代機の装備として期待される異次元空間ウェポンベイの上、同じくフランツィスカが開発に関わった新兵器であるエーテルレーザーキャノンを搭載し、大型兵器すら一撃で撃墜する攻撃力を有していた。 これに各国軍の関心を集め、新たな開発費を受領する。1990年、湾岸ネウロイ戦争が勃発すると、空母「プリンツェシン・ウィトゲンシュタイン」航空隊に試作2号機が配備され、フランツィスカの実妹であるグレーティア・ハルトマン少尉がパイロットに抜擢される。実戦テストにより期待以上の戦果をもたらしたが、もともと稀少な接収コアを使用し、製造コストが高いことと、奇特な機体制御システムの為か度重なる搭乗でウィッチの精神に影響を及ぼすことが発覚し、フランツィスカは責任感からプロジェクトを脱退。以降開発は難航した。

    ◆Unit Explanation◆

    In order to strike a decisive blow against the giant Neuroi units that appeared one after the other during the mop-up operations in Orussia in 1989, the Karlsland military began development of the "variable combat unit mk. 3" for navy and air force use under the command of then-Kapitänleutnant/Lieutenant Franzisca Hartmann, technical officer in the Karlsland Navy. The Messerscharf company was granted manufacturing rights. As it's essentially a larger version of the Strikers used by most Witches, it still uses the Witch pilot's magical energy as its power source.

    The basic design followed the path of the top-secret Warlock project developed by Britannia during WWII; all of its systems include parts manufactured from captured Neuroi cores, but the risk of it going out of control or turning into a Neuroi has been eliminated. The fighter is larger than usual, but since all of the cores are controlled by the thoughts and magic of the pilot its command response time is greatly enhanced, and the energy released by the cores themselves serve to reduce the physical and magical burden on the pilot. The magical engine's output also surpasses that of traditional Strikers.

    The finished trial prototype saw action in the end of the Orussian operation and was given the codename "Zauberer" (Magician). Franziska herself flew it as a test pilot, launching from the aircraft carrier "Von Braun" in the White Sea. Cracks appeared at a number of points on the machine, but in its initial sortie it scored 10 kills against Neuroi of various sizes. Thanks to the long-awaited other-dimensional weapons bay and the newly developed (also in part by Franziska) ether cannons, it carried a massive amount of firepower that could take down even a large Neuroi in one attack.

    This drew the attention of several other militaries, which resulted in additional development funds being available. In 1990, when the Gulf Neuroi War broke out, prototype mk 2 was loaded aboard the carrier "Prinzessin Wittgenstein", and Franziska's sister Lt zS Greita Hartmann was selected to be its pilot. The live combat tests produced results much greater than expected, but the development costs were very high due to the use of rare captured cores, and either the unique control system or repeated piloting was found to have a psychological effect on the piloting Witch; Franziska resigned from the project out of a sense of responsibility for these troubles. Development did not progress as well after her resignation.
