Frame Gears

Frame Gears (フレームギア) are single-piloted giant mobile robot which were designed by Regina Babylon and constructed by High Rosetta and Fred Monica to combat the Fraze. Currently, all development is centered at Brunhild Dukedom under supervision of Touya Mochizuki.

Overview
Frame Gears were designed by Regina Babylon after she saw the downfall of her period of civilization due to Fraze invasion. However, because of the sudden disappearance of the Fraze from the world, the war was discontinued and the plan to mass-produce Frame Gear never achieved. After the war, all Frame Gears were stored in the Hangar while the blueprint of the new and more advance design were stored in the Warehouse.

The older model required special fuel called ether liquid. The liquid is extracted from ether ore, which actually an older term of magic stone. The liquid can be manufactured in the Laboratory and the Alchemy Building but the Alchemy Building's ether liquid quality is lower than the Laboratory's. The liquid will act as the Gear nerve system which will synchronizing the pilot's magic power with the robot's body. A 500 mL ether liquid is enough to fuel the Frame Gear for 1 month.

The Frame Gears are controlled from the cockpit on the chest of the robot. The cockpit is protected with several protection magic which mitigate external physical damage from the cockpit. The foot movement, such as walking, must be controlled using foot-levers under the pilot's feet on the cockpit while upper-body movement is controlled using the control stick but other minutiae movement -such as finger movement, neck movement, and waist movement- can be controlled by thought only.

The production and development of Frame Gear is continued by Touya Mochizuki. High Rosetta and Fred Monica work as the contractor and manufacturer of the Frame Gear. Through Strand Trading Company, Touya manages to get metal material such as iron, copper, silver, mithril, orichalcum, and hihiirokane for every profit he get from his product royalty.

Because of the arduous system for controlling and maneuvering the Frame Gear, High Rosetta created a training pod for the Frame Gear. The first installment was 8 unit of training pod in the playroom of Brunhild Dukedom.

Earlier, because there is no communication system built in the Frame Gear, communication was established using the summoned divine beasts and their familiar. Later, after Regina Babylon mass-produces the smartphone, they uses smartphone as their communication line between each other Frame Gear and also the command center.

Types of Frame Gears
The Frame Gear are divided based on their specialty, such as land combat type, assault type, and high mobility type.

The first Frame Gear to be mass-produced was FG-09 or Chevalier (シュバリエ). It is a grey colored Frame Gear. Yae Kokonoe was the test-pilot for the Frame Gear.
