- Fuselage Explanation
Because of the collapse of the Republic, the "Weapons Development Department", which was directed to develop Zoids until then, was terminated. Now the engineers were divided into a few teams, each competing with each other to advance development. For example, the engineer team that developed Gojulas, the "Strategic Technologies Department," constructed the Gairyuki. What's special about this fuselage is that even if the body gets disconnected vital functions are preserved, and as a Blox it can combine with other Zoids as armoring. This technology is called B-CAS.But, a separate "Weapons Development Department" team planned and developed a similar idea. They had an eye on a new CAS using the Blox technology for the Republic's strongest mass-produced Liger Zero. Even if the idea was the same, with different developers the completed appearance was changed a lot. The B-CAS of the Liger Zero, called the Phoenix System, was completely different from the Gairyuki.
The Gairyuki links the Blox core with the installed Zoid core, and changes into various shapes according to the state of the war. It specializes in being flexible; it has an additional fuselage, so to speak. On the other hand, the Zero Phoenix uses its Blox as an additional generator, and with the multiplicative fuselage the Zero's original abilities are doubled. The Blox core of the Phoenix resonates with the Zero's core, amplifying the energy originating from the Zoid's core and improving its mobility dramatically. Above all else, the rotation ability and grappling abilities rivaled that of the current base body of the Gairyuki, and its jumping power and flight duration were intensified to be roughly equal to an assault type flying Zoid. Moreover, the surplus amplified energy from the Phoenix System was stored in the Charge Missiles on its back by introducing the energy CAP technology. The power matched that of a canon of the Gojulas Giga when fully charged for 360 seconds.
The effectiveness of the Phoenix System was highly evaluated by the upper echelon of the Republic. But the Republic, where the national power was limited, gave priority to deploying Gairyuki. In the battle with the Chimera fortified city, there were only 29 Zero Phoenixes in the sortie.
- Instruction Manual Story
The Gojulasgiga began the first issue of Official Fan Book EX, a series of small pamphlets/booklets released with the end of the NJR kits, detailing the battle story at that point. The issues contain some beautiful pencil artwork, model kit images, and more! Since they're rather long, we've put them on a separate page. Click the image to your left to read! While this issue isn't technically part of the Fan Book EX, the story segments do fit into the middle of the story.
This issue follows the Helic Republic's invasion of the fortified city of Chimera, using a unit of Liger Zero Phoenix. This unit is composed of former members of the Ray Force, now reduced to the Disciplinary Force. They must make the most of their Phoenix units, which totals only 29 units in all, to overcome and take control of this mighty fortress. It won't be an easy fight, though. They're up against countless AI-controlled Chimera BLOX, who have no need to fear for their lives.
