Technical and Historical Notes |
During the great war a thousand years ago that nearly destroyed Earth, one of the warring factions created a prototype maneuver slave, the Original Garland. The Original Garland's data becomes the basis for several Garland iterations over the next thousand years, most recently the E=X Garland. The Original Garland is housed at Eden City's E=X Tower, but its technicians have been unable to completely determine its abilities. Unlike other machine soldiers that use motorcycle controls in their cockpits, the Original Garland uses a trackball control system. The Original Garland's armaments include a pair of shoulder-mounted missile launchers, a beam gun and a powerful chest-mounted beam cannon that can wipe out several machine soldiers with one blast. During Orange's rebellion, E=X bureau director Yacob Halm uses the Original Garland to single handedly fight off Orange's Hargan units. At the battle's end, Yacob and the Original Garland are destroyed by Eiji Takanaka's E=X Garland.
