Whilst the Aquilans make extensive use of lasers as point defense and anti-aircraft weapons, the nations of Andora have concentrated their research efforts on the civilian utilities of the technology. One of their most promising discoveries was the possibility of using special frequency lasers to slow the motion of atoms to a near standstill, resulting in a focused freezing effect. Ideally, the technology could be used as a more eco-friendly alternative to bulky cooling machinery and aggressive chemicals. A team of Midgar scientists even explored the idea of using this remarkable technology to revert the effects of global warming by restoring the Liang ice. Unfortunately, these so-called 'cryo lasers' also presented a considerable destructive potential which was exploited during the final phase of the Voshkod-Andoran War (or Andoran Crisis): Named after a monstrous wolf from Norse mythology, the Fenris Cryo-Tank is an elaborate modification of a conventional Lynx APC which has been outfitted with a freezing laser that proved extremely lethal against enemy infantry and even vehicles which not only take damage but also end up immobilized due to deformed machinery and severely reduced crew performance after prolonged cooling. The Fenris can also fire a high-energy shot that freezes the vehicle to the point where parts of its armor become so brittle that even its own idle engine vibrations or weapon recoil are enough to shatter it open, thus directly exposing the crew to the freezing ray, killing them instantly and leaving the vehicle empty for recovery. Unlike the dreaded Pandora cannon or the combat adaptive Blizzard Tank, the Fenris can be deployed in numbers upon choosing the eponymous protocol, but commanders are advised to treat their expensive and fragile technology with utmost care.
