Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Javelin Project

Elemental Javelins, abbreviated as EJ or simply Javelin, are powerful exo-suits created by a combination of magic and data stolen from the infamous IS lab accident, where Serpent infiltrators were stealing IS data only to be caught when Encantadia and Syndicate forces attack the facility to similarly steal the data. While capable of flight like the IS their mauverablilty is low, not even the Interceptor Javelins can outmaneuver an IS, but compensates by having heavy armor alongside the IS forcefield, or in the case of the Colossus even more armor, and the ability to carry heavier ordinances means that they can keep up with the IS in firepower and durability. With elite forces of each clan being recognizable by their Javelin suits, including the generals/commando of each Clan who pilot their own custom Javelin.

Features
Javelins do not function by using chemical fuel. They are made using a mixture of stolen IS technology and Mender magic. Not much is known about how they are crafted because the Engineers and Menders try to keep their secrets. Often Mender patterns and magic seals are embedded into a javelin to make it more powerful.

Javelins also contain watertight seals to allow them to swim, the internal wiring is kept safe through external armor. Javelins are equipped with a cushioning gambeson to keep the pilot comfortable. There are servos that control the movement of arms and legs. The armor of a javelin is tough, especially when combined with its forcefield.

Each javelin is made to the specification of one person. No two lancers can successfully pilot each other’s javelins as their own javelins are linked to them mentally through the Crown and Signet system—they insert the signet into the crown of the javelin. As a matter of fact, trying to use a javelin designed for a different pilot could lead to difficult and unsatisfactory consequences. However, a skilled pilot can still equip a javelin not linked to them with caution and a clear mind, even though it is not recommended.

Pilots are connected to each other and their commanders through a communication device called the Link. These are almost always equipped by the pilot on their hand. Each javelin has its own history and narrative, even if they are successors to an original kind or made completely anew. Each javelin is crafted specifically to its pilot, and the link can record the pilot’s adventures, like how a tapestry is woven to depict history.
