Light paired well with the Jupiter Project.
This was rather strange as most command-oriented mech pilots usually wanted to attract as little attention as possible.
They spent much of their time on managing their units and polishing their command abilities, so they weren't able to spend as much time on refining their combat skills.
Commander Casella Ingvar was the typical example of such a pilot. She invested a lot of attention on her subordinates. By bonding with them, she was able to channel her power onto them more effectively on the battlefield.
The stronger she became, the more she could uplift the strength of the mechs under her command!
General Ark Larkinson followed a different combat approach. While it was still important for him to take charge of his troops and build up a close superior-subordinate relationship with them, he was not the sort of expert pilot who could directly boost the combat power of his troops.
