Equipment
GN Weaponry
A special form of beam and physical weaponry created through the use of GN Particles. By using GN Particles, the cutting power of physical weapons is enhanced and beam weapons become particularly destructive. Since GN Particles do not play nice with other forms of particles, long range weapons formed from them often fail to pierce certain barriers.
Considered in the old days the epitome of technology, the GN Particle was a standard use on most machines prior to the advent of the Mobile Armours. Since they are standard equipment on several Mobile Armours, using it is considered forbidden technology.
The Exia is normally equipped with a GN Tachi, a GN Sword, two GN Beam Sabers, 4 GN Fangs, two GN Short Swords and two GN Long Swords. The GN Fangs can connect into the GN Sword to form the Raiser Sword. The GN Shield normally equipped on the right shoulder also has a GN Cannon and a 4-tube GN missile launcher within it, but the shield is currently lost.
Anti-Beam Cape
The torn remains of a cloak treated with a special beam-resistant coating to protect against directed energy weapons. Beam shots wash against the surface of the cape with minimal harm, but the beamproofing can only withstand a limited number of direct hits before being evaporated off. Furthermore, it offers no unique protections against physical assault.
GN Condenser
A series of containers on the Exia that have the purpose of containing GN Particles. On the Exia, there are five condensers located in each arm, the torso and the legs. A sixth large condenser is found in the GN Shield. As the Exia is lacking the right arm and shield, the condenser capacity is significantly lowered. On the Exia, the condensers are used to power ranged weapons and Trans-AM, due to it's relatively speaking higher output compared to other Pseudo-Generation 6 Machines.
Trans-AM System
A special system unique to GN Drive equipped machines. By rapidly expending GN Particles, the machine can perform at well beyond its normal specifications. In theory, the performance increase is three times that of the normal suit. In the Exia's case, the left arm also contains a trial system that allows for a temporary, localised Trans-AM that simulates an Iaido quickdraw, which in the past was used to great effect. Since the GN Condensers are currently damaged, Trans-AM time is limited to a bit over one minute without impacting the performance of the GN Drive.
In an emergency, Trans-AM functionality can be disabled by swapping the GN Drive to an ELS version and disengaging the original, however, ELS Drive GN Particles cannot be used for Trans-AM. Sakura seems loath to entertain the idea, implying the transformation is one way.
ELS Integration
Integration with the ELS known as 'Sakura'. The Exia is able to create new parts and imitate the abilities of other machines through technology absorption and integration. Technically speaking, Sakura can just devour other material in order to make new Exia parts and replenish supplies, but the material must be of exceptionally high grade to not lower the performance of the Exia. In Sakura's opinion, it would be better to make do without then to lower the performance of the Exia.
