The fact that Abasis Armor was actually an armor system developed with ace mechs in mind explained so much.
It explained why it took more than 10 kilograms of phasewater to equip a single high-ranking mech with this transphasic armor system.
It explained why its various properties were so strong and useful.
It also explained why it came paired with a so-called Transphasic Attack System that allowed ace pilots to generate strange attacks and effects that were usually associated with the phase whale race!
The incredible cost and even more incredible capabilities of Abasis Armor were already out of the scope of ordinary expert mechs.
In fact, even high-tier expert mechs weren't supposed to have anything to do Abasis Armor either!
The foremost reason why the Mars Project came into contact with it anyway was because the Cross Clan was willing to squander an excessive amount of resources to develop the strongest possible expert mech!
