Siren (model kit)

A model kit of Siren was released by Kotobukiya in November 2018.
==Lore==
The model kit includes a full page of background information for not only Siren itself, but the First Low Orbit Station, the Conduit, and the Trinity Processor. It is provided as a slab of text found by that he cannot read.
===Intro===
It Muimui. 	
Muimui is ordinary, respectable Nopon with deep interest in robotics and much desire to learn. 	
So much desire, in fact, that sometimes end up with wings on weird items. 	
Just other day, I was tricked by salvager who claim he dove far, far below Cloud Sea of Alrest, to place called Land of Morytha! 	
What was scam, friend ask? Muimui was sold document full of gibberish scribbles for insane price! 	
Salvager told Muimui that if could decipher text, would lead to secrets of Aegis and further robotic developments, and Muimui just believed him! 	
...But I can't read this gibberish, no one can, no matter what I try. Maybe legendary could? But all that matter is that Muimui can't. Should've spent money on year supply of pollen orbs instead...	
Anyway, Muimui will publish said expensive documents. If anypon can read, please tell Muimui in secret. Then, using secrets of Aegis, can create Artificial Blade even greater than Rosa...!

Sirens are a type of Artifice (a class of terminal interface weaponsTranslating "機動端末兵器群" as "terminal interface weapon" is based on the same term from Xenogears.) constructed on an orbital ring in low Earth orbit. One of the most important properties of the Artifices is that they were not designed by humans. They were instead designed by the Trinity Processor, a collective of artificial intelligences, to be weapons surrounding the Conduit. Essentially, they are like cells of a larger, autonomous system. As a result, they are wholly different in philosophy than any weapons developed by humans. 	
Within the orbital ring is a large academic institution called Aoidos. Previously, it had simply been a university lab. But at the turn of the 21st century, one of its scientists discovered magnetic abnormal matterTranslating "磁気異常物質" as "magnetic abnormal matter" is based on the same term from Xenogears. in Africa. Later named the Conduit, the object initially only drew interest for being advanced technology found in an ancient context. As research progressed, it turned out to be a perpetual motion machine that flouts the law of conservation of energy, which causes its magnetic abnormalness. The Coalition governmentTranslating "統合政府" as "Coalition government" is based on the same term from Xenoblade Chronicles X. established a dedicated research institute, requiring massive amounts of resources and personnel, forming Aoidos. 	
According to a report filed ten years after Aoidos's founding, the Conduit is a gateway.The Japanese name for the Conduit is the English word "Gate", so the original text says "the Gate is a literal gate". In other words, it could be used as a door connecting the multiple universes of a many-worlds reality. It was not difficult to imagine that if such a "meta-universe manifold" were placed on Earth, an accident could cause incredible damage to the planet. 	
During this time, the Coalition government was working on three equatorial orbital towers called "Beanstalks" (called Rhadamanthus, Aeacus, and Minos), and would connect their low-orbit sections to form an orbital ring. The project was driven by Aoidos in order to move research on the Conduit away from Earth, into the orbital ring. 	
Within the research center, the artificial intelligence collective of the Trinity Processor was established to manage the Conduit. Using bio-computer elements, the processors were "raised" in varying virtual realities so they would develop distinct personalities, and jointly manage the Conduit. 	
The Trinity Processor expanded the system for managing and operating the Conduit without human oversight. The development of weapons to protect the ring and Conduit was a necessary part of this process. At the time, there were many calls to have the Coalition government shut down the Conduit. As a result, the Artifices created were very different from human-based weaponry. For example, they do not have any internal engine. They instead have a Slave Generator, which receives energy transferred from the Conduit. A green Conduit-shaped crystal on the Artifice receives the transferred energy. 	
The Siren-type Artifice is equipped with a charged particle cannon directly connected to a Slave Generator, allowing for high-energy beam bombardment. It could almost be called just a Slave Generator-based particle cannon, with some support equipment attached. 	
A beautiful and simple Artifice, designed by the Trinity Processor to strike its enemies with light. That is the Siren - a depiction of a non-human intelligence.
