RahXephon

Height: 50m
Pilot: Ayato Kamina
Created by: MU
First Appearance: Episode 2

RahXephon possesses amazing agility and various energy weapons that Ayato can summon when necessary. It seems to be an organic machine hybrid - its exterior surface appears metallic, but it appears to have tendonlike structures between its joints. Also, it has feathers.

RahXephon's weapons range from its voice, which delivers a powerful sonic blast, to an enormous energy bow and arrow. It seems that it can generate any kind of energy weapon or attack when needed. It also possesses enormous brute strength and can easily shatter a Dorem with a single blow, or rip it to pieces.

RahXephon's most striking feature is its mobile face, which resembles a human's. It also has enormous (though apparently nonfunctional) wings sprouting from its head, which retract to cover the lower half of its face like a mask.

Although RahXephon fights on the side of TERRA, it is considered a Mulian artifact (classification: Mulian Artifact Class 5A).

RahXephon's interior. The pilot's seat appears to be an organic outgrowth from the liquid interior within RahXephon. In flight, the surroundings become transparent and allow Ayato a 360º view.

Vermilion

Height: 48m Pilot: Elvy Hadhiyat
Created by: The Barbem Foundation
First Appearance: Episode 13

Vermilion is a fully mechanical aircraft constructed by the Barbem Foundation for TERRA. It is the first in a line that is rumored to be slated for mass production.

Vermilion is not a transforming mecha - it retains its humanoid shape at all times. Its primary weapon is the Bausgazar, a combination railgun and energy weapon. Also unlike RahXephon, Vermilion has a conventional operating system that is similar to a TERRA fighter jet.

The Dorem

These are the primary machine-organic troops of the Murian forces. There are a number of Dorem models, which vary in size, shape and capability. They are piloted remotedly by Murian agents. Most of them emit sonic attacks, and do not carry additional armaments. Their main weakness appears to be their lack of maneuverability and moving parts.
