- Blade Liger

A New Generation Of Zoid That Holds The Fate Of The Republic


- Blade Liger Military History

Type: Lion

 Originally, the Empire had more time to analyze the Organoid System. The Republican Army in contrast didn't have the time to develop a dedicated OS machine like the Geno Saurer. For that reason, the Republican Army researched OS-equipped machines based on Shield Ligers. Eventually, the Blade Liger was born.


It's equipped with an E Shield and Laser Blades. The Republican Army, which centered mostly around live-ammunition weaponry, also equipped various experimental weapons to it.
 At the start of the war, most of the Zoids being introduced by both armies were units that had been developed more than 40 years ago. Though, the fight was making a big leap forward in technological advancement. Ironically, the Western Continent War produced many new Zoids. One of those new generation Zoids was said to be the symbol of this development. That Zoid was the Blade Liger.

 The greatest feature of this unit was that it incorporated the Organoid System (a program that abnormally activates the Zoid Core). As a result, its motor skills and the regenerative power of its metal cells were greatly improved. It gained speed, fighting power, and vitality that far exceeded common sense. However, the OS was a super technology from an ancient civilization. There are still many parts of it that haven't been able to be analyzed yet, so its become a unit that puts extreme stress on the pilot. Therefore, it has not yet become a full-fledged mass production machine.

- Storm Sworder

The Strongest Fighter Type Zoid In History Is Born!


- Storm Sworder Military History

Type: Pteranodon

 The Republican Army had read that the key to an invasion was their air force. The gap in army strength wasn't easy to fill. However, they could put up a fight if they could take control of the skies. In fact, it was the Storm Sworder's air supremacy that led to their victory on the Western Continent.

The Storm Sworder that incorporates imperial technology. The Empire's influence can be seen in terms of design, like a fully covered cockpit.

 During the period of ZAC 2099 to the beginning of ZAC 2100, the Republican Command had major concerns over the unfavorable war conditions. Their military spending just wasn't sufficient, because they'd placed top priority on reconstruction efforts following the catastrophe that had occurred 40 years ago. It would take a while longer for them to switch gears to a wartime regime. During this period, the Republic Intelligence Bureau seized confidential documents from the Empire.

 It was a blueprint for a new flight-type Zoid. An aircraft that had been postponed due to them prioritizing the Geno Saurer. The Republic completed it by adding in their own technology. This became the birth of the strongest air combat Zoid, the Storm Sworder. Due to the technology of both armies and a limited OS, the systems couldn't all fit on the fuselage, so an external engine pod was attached. On the other hand, it made the aircraft easy to modify. It became possible for them to create various different models according to current pressures from the war.

- Gun Sniper

A Small Scale Zoid With An Organoid System


- Gun Sniper Military History

Type: Velociraptor

 We tend to focus on huge Zoids, but what's more important in actual warfare is a small machine that can be mass-produced. This is the mass-production of OS-equipped Zoids. That was the Gun Sniper's development concept.


The rear part of the missile pod is a booster. The instantaneous power of it is superior to the Rev Raptor.
 The all-purpose small-scale Zoid, the Gun Sniper, was developed as a support unit for the Blade Liger. By installing an Organoid System like the Blade had, it gained agility and vitality that conventional small units couldn't compete with. However, compared to the Blade, its use of the OS is very limited, and even medium level pilots can sufficiently handle it.

 Coincidentally, it was based on the same velociraptor-type wild Zoid as the OS-equipped small-scale Zoid, the Rev Raptor, which was being developed by the Imperial Army around the same time, but unlike the Rev Raptor which was built for melee combat, this one's an all-rounder type. It's good at shoot outs, but forcibly jettisons its weapons during melee combat. By becoming more lightweight, it can demonstrate a high fighting performance.

- Hammer Head

The Super Powerful Air-Sea Dual Purpose Naval Zoid


- Hammer Head Military History

Type: Hammer Head Shark

 It surpasses the Sinker's abilities in every way. That's the position held by the Hammer Head. Although its goal has been achieved in its entirety, its high performance makes it a costly unit.


On the seas, under water, or in the sky. The Hammer Head surpassed the Sinker's abilities in every way.
 Ever since the days of the former Central Continent War with the Zenebas Empire, the Republic's Navy has endeavored to carry out surprise attacks on their amphibious air-sea type Sinkers.

"Building an amphibious air-sea combat Zoid that surpasses the Sinker is the only way to control the sea."

 The Republican Headquarters had been giving those orders to the Engineering Department for a long time, and the Hammer Head was the result of that.

 It's equipped with an Ion Engine that operates efficiently both in the sea and in the air, and variable wings that are used as its main flight wings. With high maneuverability, achieved by streamlining its internal space to the greatest extreme, it has realized a heavy armament status that's unprecedented for medium-scale Zoids. However, since its production cost is too high, a mass-production type with simplified armaments is currently under consideration.

- Dibison

The Heavyweight Zoid With Ultra-Hard Horns and 17 Gun Barrels!!


- Dibison Military History

Type: Buffalo

 At the time of its rollout in ZAC 2046, it was one of the few Republican Zoids who could challenge the invincible Death Saurer to a battle. It's a masterpiece that always stands at the forefront of the Republic's troops, and jumps head on into dangerous tasks.


It has a 17-Barrelled Assault Gun and an 8-Shot Missile Pod salvo. Few Zoids of this class can withstand this kind of bombardment.
 The Dibison is a heavily armored and heavily armed assault combat Zoid developed to stop the advance of the infamous Death Saurer, which boasted invincibility during the Central Continent War.

 The 105mm 17-Barrelled Assault Gun concentrated at the front and the two simultaneously firing 8-Shot Missile Pods can crush any obstacles. The Super-Hard Horns (Twin Crusher Horns) are made of a super copper titanium alloy and have the power to penetrate even the super heavy armor of the Death Saurer. In addition, despite being a very gentle and easy to use machine, it also possesses the courage to never withdraw during battle.

 The Dibison has an extremely biased armament arrangement. However, because the Zoid has such a heroic look when they come charging around the corner, it's extremely popular among soldiers on the battlefield.

- Ultra Saurus

The Huge Mothership That Leads The Entire Republican Army!


- Ultra Saurus Military History

Type: Ultra Saurus

 Rolled out in ZAC 2037. As the first super-giant Zoid that appeared on Planet Zi, its had various influences on the development of subsequent Zoids. It was a flagship of the Republican Army throughout the Old War, which led to the early days of the Dark Continent War.

Originally a flagship that commanded an entire unit, it boasts overwhelming strength and firepower, and stands alone as the strongest combat class.

 Ultra Saurus, an amphibious super-giant Zoid that was developed as the flagship of the Helic Republic during the Central Continent War. At the time, when skirmishes between small-scale Zoids were the norm, such giants were so strange to the opposing Zenebas Empire, which had no means of countering it for a full seven years, until the development of the Death Saurer.

 Its main weapons are the 360 mm Linear Cannons and various missiles. It's suitable for serving as a Mobile Command, and has a high-performance long-range radar and a vehicle catapult. It's also possible to install a huge gun turret called the 1200 mm Ultra Cannon.

 Even today, the Ultra Saurus boasts unprecedented strength and super equipment, but the number of individuals has decreased dramatically as a result of the cataclysm that occurred 40 years ago, which resulted in the death of most of the huge Zoids. Currently, there's only a single presidential unit deployed.

- Shield Liger DCS-J

The Jet-Black Lion For The Leomasters!!


- Shield Liger DCS-J Military History

Type: Lion

 The Shield Liger couldn't be used in artillery battles and the DCS had poor melee capabilities. By mobilizing these two units simultaneously, they could compensate for each other's weakness, and became stronger. However, as the war situation grew more intense, the number of available units became less and less, and it became necessary to have a Zoid that could meet both of these requirements in a single machine. As a result, the DCS-J was born, but it had become a machine that could only be used by the Leomasters.

The DCS-J that violently bombards Empire Zoids. Due to the modifications of the power engine, the power of the Beam Cannon exceeds that of the normal DCS.

 The Shield Liger was developed as a high-speed melee combat Zoid, and had no medium or long-range combat weapons. To resolve this, the Shield Liger DCS was created by adding two beam cannons, but naturally, its mobility sharply fell. In order to compensate for this as well, its power system was given substantial modifications. And so the jet-black Shield Liger DCS-J was born.

 Simultaneous enhancement in firepower and melee abilities. This contradictory remodelling destroyed the machine's balance.The DCS-J was too hard to handle. In the end, production stopped at a mere 7 units. But there were pilots who could control these picky machines. They were high-speed Zoid specialists with the title of Leomaster.

- Gojulas The Ogre

The Strongest Zoid That Became A Monstrous Demon!!


- Gojulas The Ogre Military History

Type: Dinosaur Type

 The Republican Army, which was far inferior to the Imperial Army in terms of Zoid count, were trying to close the gap with unit performance. For that reason, installing a Gojulas with the OS was a very important experiment, but...


Without encountering the mercenary Irvine, the Ogre would never have been able to exert its trancendental power.
 The Republican Development Department succeeded in developing the Blade Liger by incorporating an Organoid System into the Shield Liger. Their next move was to equip a Gojulas, the strongest combat Zoid of the Republic, with an Organoid System. That Gojulas would become even more powerful.

 The expectations of the Republican Headquarters, which had been dealing with a difficult battle, were high. Since there was already the Blade Liger as an example of success, there shouldn't be any technical problems. They didn't know at that time. How Zoids equipped with OS would change.

 Eventually, the modified Gojulas gained a prestige that couldn't be compared to normal units. Various weapons, such as the two Long Range Buster Cannons for long range, two 8-Shot Missile Pods for medium range, and a 4-Shot Shock Cannon for short range were added. Combined with all of this heavy equipment, according to their calculations they should have gained 5 to 10 times the combat power of a normal Gojulas.

 However, during the startup experiment, the Command and Development departments came to realize the sweetness of their misgivings. It was so ferocious that nobody could control it. The modified Gojulas wouldn't accept any pilots.

 As a result, Headquarters abandoned the Gojulas OS. The experimental aircraft was named "Ogre", and after it was converted into an autopilot, it was sent to the Continent of Europa as a support artillery machine.

 No one expected much of the Ogre anymore. At least, until the day this beast met with its destined pilot, Irvine...
