ESU-S4xA2/NU-016 Archangel

- Angel Wings

- Assistive Targeting System

- Gyrotumbler Unit

The ESU-S4xA2/NU-016 Archangel is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Cecelia Palmer.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Archangel is the perceived final form of the Majestic, giving it the proper abilities of the HMT II System. Featuring a Full-Body thruster layout, as well as an enhanced Gyrotumbler Unit, the Archangel has a level of maneuverability unmatched by both its allies and enemies. Paired with the skills of Cecelia Palmer, the Archangel is a formidable force when in combat. After the Kingship was discovered untapped in an abandoned citadel, its combat data was used to design the Archangel.

Similar to its predecessor, the Archangel excels in melee combat and high-powered attacks. By replacing its Destroyer Lance (technically its halberd) with the Z-Calibur, the Archangel is capable of running its original charging attacks in combination with heavy Broadsword ones. This versatility in combat allows for a greater number of attack patterns, making the machine unpredictable in what it will do next. Compounded with its high-mobility by way of its Angel Wings, as well as its NU METACOM System, the Archangel is a high-power high-mobility unit that is perfect for Cecelia Palmer’s combat style.

## Armaments

- Z-Calibur: The same Weapon used by the Corinthian before its destruction. It is a massive, two-handed sword that is almost as large as the unit itself; due to this size it can plow through enemies just like a lance (though Cecelia would be the only one to use it like this), or be driven into the ground and act as a shield. Of course, the sword can be swung normally, and deal large ground slams when paired with the Angel Wings. Using the button situated at the top of the hilt, the Z-Calibur splits up its blade into two sections, revealing a large Gatling gun. The gun fires 30mm rounds at high speeds, fueled from a replaceable magazine loaded in from the three-port section on the side of the weapon. Pressing the button opens the blade, holding it down fires it, and pressing it again will close the blade. Stands for Zero-Calibur.

- G-Bracers: A compact shield is mounted on each of the forearms, each of which contains a slide-out segment. Similar to how they were used on the Jericho, they can be easily stored and even mounted on the Archangel’s sub arms both in and out of use. They are usually used to block attacks from the side and rear, as the Archangel’s Z-Calibur often takes time to charge up for a swing. The two shields were made after splitting them apart from their connection point. Stands for Guard-Bracers.

- 40mm Custom Assault Rifle: The same Assault Rifle used by the Castel GT, but with a resemblance more akin to a Submachine Gun. It has a drum magazine, sawed off stock, and a scope—all for quick engagements in the heat of battle.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Sub-Arms: These remote or subconsciously controlled arms are primarily used to hold the G-Bracers; they act as external shields for the Archangel when engaging multiple enemies. One sub-arm was taken from the Corinthian, and the other from the Jericho.

- Angel Wings: These high-output backpack thrusters are purposely overcharged to allow for a dramatically greater jump height. This allows the Archangel to perform leaps and slams, making it an extremely dangerous mobile threat. Of course, when paired with the other thrusters mounted on the machine’s body, they allow it to reach speeds only rivaled by that of the Diamondback. When deployed, the four sub-parts of each of the "wings" spread out and extend, allowing for each of their internal boosters to activate. When in jump mode, the boosters will all retract and the whole assembly will rotate downwards (similar to a standard HMT backpack unit, thus concealing its actual form). They were taken from the Silent Citadel housing the Dark Pegasus, in which they were developed from the Pegasus Wings.

- Classic Helm: The only thing that wasn’t repaired or replaced on the Archangel from the Majestic was its helm. After losing its face guard and part of its unicorn horn, Cecelia proposed that she wanted to keep it the way it was. This was as remembrance for all of her progress leading up to this point.

## Operational History

After being pushed back to Midnight Base by the UNI, the insurrectionist’s sudden retreat gave the LCR enough time to upgrade the Majestic Repair (along with the other remaining units) with all of the spare parts they had. Thus, the Archangel was born, and fought valiantly against hordes of Mercury Legion Garrisai. The machine even went head to head with the Onyx, supported by the Excalibre. When Dom betrayed his team and went to destroy Midnight Base, Cecelia scarified herself to buy her allies time by fighting Dom long enough for them to escape. After the battle, the remains of the Archangel were recovered and stored in Neptune Base, where they stood in honor of its fallen pilot.

## Trivia

- The Archangel is a nod to Cecelia’s original character design being an Angel.

- It also has a similar design to Broken Blade’s Delphine with its broken horn, broad shoulders and large sword. (Z-Calibur)

- The head design greatly resembles the Byarlant, or the Zephyr Factory Custom—The Majestic’s original upgrade name.

- The Angel Wings of the Archangel are inspired from the Forward Thruster Wings of the Classic Valkyrie-Athena from the early stages of Harbinger 2584, which was also piloted by Cecelia's character (who was Stella at the time, hence the homage).

- The Z-Calibur and G-Bracers were actually named after the original names of the pilots they came from: Zoey Kumar and Grace Flauron. They would eventually become the Kelly Valentine and Hannah Floyd seen in canon, and futher combined into the Character of Amy Konstantin.

- Due to the Archangel being based on the Kingship and Pegasus—the same two units its original form was developed into—the combined designs of the Unicorn and Pegasus technically makes the Archangel an Alicorn.
