Mecha and Monsters from GeneShaft

The following is a list of the many mecha and monsters that appeared in the 2001 anime series *GeneShaft*.

## Integration Earth Organization

The Integration Earth Organization, usually shortened to IEO, was created after mankind was nearly destroyed during the twenty first century due to global warming. Over the next two hundred years a counsel of elders, formed from remaining survivors, guided humanity through genetic manipulation, resulting in mankind being led under an authoritative government that mandated lifespans stopped at the age of 45 and where men only made up ten percent of the population to prevent aggression. By the time the story takes place in the twenty third century the Solar System was being colonized and space travel became common.

### S Mission Mecha

* **Maracana**: A command station made by the IEO in Earth's orbit that appeared in episodes 1 and 2. The space station was used to assemble the crew for the S Mission. It was capable of self destruct sequence and evacuation storage.
* **Shaft**: A 500 meter tall black robot defined as assault weapon and a device unit. Notably it had tubes surrounding its body, razors on both manipulator hands, could be remotely controlled, had a wheel-like cockpit, and could fire an orange micro black hole beam fired from the back.
* **Bilkis**: A black skate-like ship that carried the Shaft on the rear. It was armed with a 4-tube missile pod in each side of the front, a green energy field, and orange energy blasts from under the bridge capable of destroying rings.
* **Gold Shaft**: A gold colored replica of the first Shaft built by Sergei for Mir to use that appeared in episodes 8, 12, and 13.

### Main Fleet

* **Space Shuttles**: A series of gray shuttles used for exploration although in episode 1 were used by terrorists.
* **SACC Ships**: A series of white cigar shaped ships that first appeared in episode 4. They were armed with three torpedo launchers on the bow.
	+ **SACC-0264 Ekaterina**: A red flagship used by fleet commander Nanalie in episode 9 that was accidentally destroyed by the Ageria.
	+ **SECT-032 Yoki**: A blue capital used by Jean Gadot that appeared in episodes 9, 10, and 11. It could transmit viruses to other ships and used energy bolts rather than torpedoes.
* **Ageria**: A giant laser cannon ship that uses proton shells and appeared in episode 9. It was hijacked by the Yoki which destroyed most of the IEO fleet including Ekaterina because of Jupiter's magnetic field disrupting the aim.

## Oberus Program

The Oberus Program was a weaponry system created by an ancient race of aliens simply called the Giants that disappeared around the time of the Big Bang. The giants were believed to be the originators of life throughout the universe with the Oberus Program used as a fail safe if any life went rogue. Their technology was copied by the IEO to create the Bilkis and both Shaft device units. The remains of the Giants' homeworld became the Asteroid Belt although one of their temples was found on Ganymede by the IEO, a base called Niven Base being set up shortly afterward. During the events of the series Sergei manipulated terrorists to attack an Oberus ring in Earth's orbit to trigger a genocide against humanity and tricked the Bilkis to lure the rings and fleet into deep space. In episode 12 it was discovered that the Oberus Program and the rings were located beneath the surface of Europa.

### Ring Types

* **Standard Rings**: Appear throughout the series. These rings were 500 kilometers in diameter. Powers include firing orange lasers by altering quantum density, an energy shield, teleportation, and green scanner.
* **Miniature Rings**: Appear in episodes 5 and 12. These rings were human sized with a diameter less than 2 meters. Powers include teleportation, draining blood to imitate organisms, infecting computer systems with a virus, and firing orange lasers by altering quantum density.
* **Triple Rings**: Appear in episode 11. They were capable of a faster firing rate and higher accuracy at the cost of doing less damage as their standard counterparts.
* **Giant Rings**: Appear in episodes 12 and 13. These black rings were large enough to cover the sun and only deactivated after Shaft caused damage to the Oberus program on Europa.
