E.S.

Ein Sof, typically shortened to E.S., are humanoid mobile weapons from the Xenosaga series that have been loaded with a Vessel of Anima.
==Technology and Usage==
While E.S. are not of a significant size difference from A.M.W.S. units, they have significantly more fighting ability. Depending on the weaponry equipped and the pilot using them, they have the power to take on an entire division of A.M.W.S. units. The main difference for the difference in power is how the units acquire their energy. A.M.W.S. units derive pulse energy from a mother ship, meaning the condition of the mother ship and their U.M.N. connection have a significant impact on how much power they can use. If an A.M.W.S.'s mother ship is destroyed, it can only operate on its own internal condenser and co-generator and the pilot would be unable to use the full specs of the unit. E.S. units derive their energy from the via their Vessel of Anima. As such they are not reliant on a mother ship or the U.M.N. and could utilize a limitless amount of energy.
E.S. can be loaded with either a single seat or two-seat cockpit. As such they carry the ability for them to be piloted by multiple individuals, typically with one using the fire controls and one handling the mobility. Those units with two-seat cockpits tend to be those with a large amount of weaponry. All E.S. units operated by Ormus contain a single seat cockpit. An E.S. can only be piloted by an individual who is able to link with the Vessel of Anima and Zohar. The unit would not start up for any individual who is unqualified.

He uses it to destroy a random amount of Gnosis and Federation ships during the battle of the Kukai Foundation. Albedo later uses Simeon to fight the party within the Song of Nephilim. E.S. Napthali later appears with its pilot, the Blue Testament observing Proto Merkabah.

==Gameplay==
===Episode II===
===Episode III===
E.S. combat have improved from its predecessor; it is much more fast-paced than in Episode II. The Boost gauge has been removed entirely and no E.S. can use Ether. With the return of G and stores, the play can now buy E.S. related items, such as Nanorepairs for healing, armor and weapons.
====Anima Awakening====
Whenever an E.S. deals damage, the Anima gauge fills up. Once its full, the player can activate Anima Awakening, granting them the use of a Special Attack. Additionally, the energy requirement for initating attacks are cut by 15%. Anima Awakenings last for two turns. Initially, the player can only use Level I Anima Awakening, but as the story progresses, the player will gain the use to up at least Level III Anima Awakening.
