Automatic Planet Goruba
A mobile fortress dispatched to the solar system in the year 2207 as part of the “History Revision Plan” associated with the installation of the Grand Reverse. A total of six satellites are deployed in Earth orbit. Each of the six has a different surface pattern color, and are given the names Goruba Satou (light yellow), Goruba Dua (dark blue), Goruba Tiga (reddish-purple), Goruba Umpad (pink), Goruba Lima (yellow-green), and Goruba Enam (red).
Similar to the encounter between Earth and Gamilas in the Bolzon star system, it also has a class of phase-transforming armor that can neutralize direct hits from Wave-Motion Guns. It has a huge domed space inside, and it is possible to connect this space with subspace by using a capture field.
Chapter 2 update:
Of the six Gorubas, Goruba Enam heads to Icarus Observatory to secure the “Fragment of Iscandar.”
Total height: 10km
Aircraft:
Assault Fighter Caterpillar (planetary domination specs)
Equipped with numerous Multi-Legged Annihilation Tank Garm-Biu inside.
Armament:
Ultra-large gravitational field convergence type beta cannon
Large-caliber Hyperon beta cannon x 8 (main gun)
Anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, Hyperon beta cannons, Hyperon alpha cannons, and many other defensive armaments.
Grand Reverse
The giant mobile fortress of Dezarium.
Equipped with weapons in every part, including phase-shifting armor (like Goruba’s) that can withstand concentrated fire from Wave-Motion Guns.
After entering the solar system, it broke through the Wave-Motion resonance minefields and the defense fleet’s blocking operations to land in the wilderness on the outskirts of the new capital. When it landed, it deployed the eight legs that surround its torso, and pierced the ground by super-vibrating the protrusions in the lower center, penetrating deep into the ground. The legs are also used defensively, equipped with numerous beam cannons. It also has multiple tentacle-like probes.
Since it was not affected by the Wave-Motion resonance mines that temporarily shut down the Wave-Motion Engine (Gesh-Tam engine), it is speculated that the power source of Grand Reverse is different from wave energy.
It serves as the command base for Dezarium’s Earth domination operations that landed on various parts of the world, including the new capital. In addition, the hall called the “Thalamus Room” is decorated with historical relics that escaped the “Great Loss,” and meetings with important members of the Earth government are also held here.
The dome-shaped part at the top (which becomes the tip during interstellar travel) sometimes emits a red light. The release of unknown leptons during this luminous phenomenon caused a significant decline in the brain function of the crew of the surveillance fleet, whose flagship was Alpheratz. This led Lieutenant Commander Shiro Sanada to speculate that the Grand Reverse functions as a hyperon bomb.
A hyperon bomb is a device that causes a person to lose consciousness. When activated, a neutron beam is irradiated onto heavy nucleons, creating a plasma state that releases neutral leptons. These leptons penetrate matter and react with the charge in the brain to generate positive leptons, causing electromagnetic interactions. This amount of energy is extremely close to the charge of synapses, and acts in a way that targets the brain, destroying the activity of the synaptic network and stopping the brain’s information processing. Since consciousness is formed not in a specific part of the brain but by the entire synaptic network in the brain, a hyperon bomb can cause a person to lose consciousness while retaining their memories. The luminescence itself is not due to the emission of unknown leptons, but rather is thought to be due to the energy that activates the function of a heavy nucleon bomb.
Total length: 1800m (at the time of ground landing)
Chapter 3 update:
The hall called the “Thalamus Room” is decorated with historical relics that escaped the “Great Loss.” These are works of art that escaped destruction in the Garmillas War and still exist in the “present day” of 2207; one of these is Van Gogh’s Starry Night, which is kept at the Ageha Museum of Art.
After arriving on Earth in 2207, the “Thalamus Chamber” has been used for meetings with important members of the Earth government, Skaldart’s broadcasts to the entire world, and social gatherings sponsored by Nanbu Heavy Industries with the aim of achieving a world of symbiosis with Dezarium.
Pleiades-class Assault Battleship
To support the “History Revision Plan” following the establishment of Grand Reverse, the Dezarium fleet was dispatched to the solar system in 2207, with Grand Reverse as its mobile command center and six fleets with the six autoplanet Gorubas at their core.
Each fleet has an improved Pleiades-class assault battleship (Pleiades Kai) as its flagship, and is composed of Pleiades-class assault battleships and Hyades-class escort ships. One of these is the Improved Pleiades-class assault battleship Galiades, with commander-in-chief Kazan aboard and leading the entire fleet.
Although it is equipped with phase conversion armor, its defensive power is slightly inferior to that of the improved Pleiades assault battleship due to its output.
Length: 405m
Aircraft: Assault fighter Caterpillars (planetary domination specs), etc.
Armament:
Triple heavy nucleus beta turret x 2
Triple heavy nucleus alpha turret
Triple anti-aircraft turrets x 4
2 missile launchers
3 torpedo tubes
Chapter 2 update:
Aircraft are launched from the opening in the bow. Inside, it has a gliding section equivalent to that of the Improved Pleiades-class assault battleship, and aircraft are charged with energy when passing through the section. They played a part of the offensive power in the fleet led by the Grodez-class annihilation battleship Grodez, which intercepted a Bolar fleet that invaded the solar system.
At this time, the fleet was in a formation similar to that of Earth and Garmillas, unlike during the Iscandar transfer plan. This is thought to be because Dezarium had “discovered” the 23rd century fleet operations that had been lost during the battle in the Bolzon solar system.
Hyades-class escort ship
Deployed in the fleet for Earth domination operations.
Although its offensive and defensive power is inferior to that of the Pleiades-class battleship, it is operated by taking advantage of its high maneuverability and ability to make sharp turns.
Length: 210m
Armament:
Triple heavy nucleus alpha turret x 2
Two triple missile pods
Missile pod x 2
Torpedo tubes
Defensive Armament
Chapter 2 update:
The most common type in fleet organization. Deployed in the fleet for the Earth Domination Operation, and also used in the Grodez fleet, which intercepted the Bolar force that invaded the solar system.
Since its energy output is lower than that of the Pleiades-class assault battleship, its offensive and defensive power is inferior. Unlike the Pleiades-class and improved Pleiades-class, it does not have a launch port or gliding section, and does not carry aircraft because it does not have the spare capacity to recharge its energy. On the other hand, it possesses high maneuverability and is able to toy with enemy ships in the battle against the Bolar fleet.
Taygeta-class large transport ship
A large Dezarium transport ship used to transport not only weapons and supplies, but also personnel. It has one bridge at the bow of the ship’s upper hull, and two bridges in the center. The bow is equipped with a launch port for carrier-based aircraft.
The aircraft are stored in a hangar located directly under the bridge in the center of the ship’s hull, and are launched from an electromagnetic catapult divided into honeycomb shapes. From the catapult to the launch point at the bow, there is a long gliding section that takes up about 40% of the ship’s hull, and this is because the aircraft are charged with energy when passing through this section. The gliding sections of other ships that have aircraft are not this long, and it is thought that this specification was chosen because it is used to charge the energy of various weapons for ground control. The upper part of the gliding section is a residential area, where the Dezarium people who are making their first migration to Earth live.
Ground suppression weapons are stored behind the carrier-based aircraft hangar, such as the Gabalia, a sweeping tripod tank, and the Garm-Biu, a multi-legged annihilation tank. These launch from large hatches lined up at the bottom of the hull. The hatches are also used to transport supplies and personnel stored inside the transport ship.
They are capable of dimensional submersion, and several ships surfaced and appeared in the bay area during the capture of the new capital. Dezarium’s high level of technological capability can be seen in the fact that they are able to perform dimensional submersion with a massive 1000 meter long vessel, far exceeding the UX-01 dimensional submarine developed by Garmillas.
Total length: 1000m
Carrier-based aircraft: Assault fighter Caterpillars (planetary domination specs), etc.
Ship-based weapons:
Sweeping tripod tank Gabalia
Multi-legged annihilation tank Garm-Biu and others
Sweeping tripod tank Gabalia
Deployed as the ground force for Earth domination operations. Equipped with a large antenna-shaped beam cannon on top.
Total height: 54m (top height)
Multi-Legged Annihilation Tank Garm-Biu
Deployed as the ground force for Earth domination operations, it is primarily used for anti-personnel suppression. Equipped with a small antenna-shaped beam cannon on top.
Total height: 6.5m
Assault Fighter Caterpillar (planetary domination specs)
This aircraft was modified for the current operation from the attack fighter Caterpillar, which was operated by the Meldars fleet, dispatched to transport Iscandar.
It is newly equipped with an antenna-like beam cannon, similar to the Gabalia and Garm-Biu, that will be used to conquer Earth.
Length: 20m
Armament:
Torpedoes x 2
Machine guns x 6
Small beam cannon x 1 [Antenna]
Modified Pleiades-class Assault Battleship Galiades
The modified Pleiades-class Assault Battleship Galiades was dispatched to the solar system in the year 2207 as the flagship of the fleet supporting the “History Revision Plan” associated with the installation of the Grand Reverse.
The luminous lines seen on the Modified Pleiades-class Assault Battleship Great Pleiades, used in the Iscandar Transfer Plan, extend around the bridge and to the base. Commander-in-chief Kazan is aboard. Since it was built as the second Modified Pleiades-class Assault Battleship, its design is older than the Grodez-class Annihilation Battleship, and it was commissioned as part of the conventional fleet operation system.
Total length: 410m
Aircraft: Assault Fighter Caterpillar (planetary domination specs) and others
Armament:
Triple heavy nucleus beta turrets x 2
Triple heavy nucleus alpha turret
Triple Anti-Aircraft Turret x 4
Missile Launcher x 6
Torpedo Tubes x 10
Torpedo Tubes x 4
(personal note: some of the specs are in conflict with those of the Great Pleiades but this is how they are listed at the official page. Including the torpedo tubes being listed twice and with different quantities. And yes, both say exactly the same, “魚雷発射管”. I left it as presented.)
Grodez-class Annihilation Battleship Grodez
Grodez is a state-of-the-art ship of the Dezarium military developed by Mother Dezarium, based on the battle data of the Earth-Gamilas fleets encountered in 2205 during the “Iscandar Transfer Plan”.
The shape of the hull is significantly different from conventional Dezarium battleships and is closer to Earth and Garmillan ships. In addition, an Infinite Beta Cannon is installed at the bow as an energy launcher directly connected to a transfer device. These were based on the ships encountered during the transfer plan, especially the Space Battleship Yamato, in 2205.
According to the history of the birth of Dezarium as told by Skaldart, several centuries have passed since the abandonment of wave energy, and the Great Loss caused much of the information from this era to be lost, so it can be said that Dezarium rediscovered the “space fleet” of the old era by encountering the Yamato fleet during the Iscandar transfer plan. This not only led to the development of the Grodez-class Annihilation Battleship, but also extended to fleet operations. The fleet, with the Grodez-class as its flagship, has the experimental aspect of a newly-drawn up operational plan.
Until the “Iscandar Transfer Plan,” the Dezarium fleet was organized with the Autoplanet Goruba as its mobile headquarters, with the Pleiades-class Assault Battleship and the modified Pleiades-class as flagships of each fleet. In contrast, the newly-drawn up operational plan was to have the Grodez-class as the flagship, and to play the role that the Goruba had played in the fleet. For this reason, the Grodez-class was incorporated with functions that could be called a miniature Goruba.
It does not have a dimensional diving function, but is equipped with a capture field that allows it to dive into subspace. The capture field is smaller than Goruba’s, but its functions and performance are comparable, and it is also capable of floating in normal space.
The phase conversion armor is said to be of a level equivalent to that of a Goruba. It is capable of withstanding direct hits from a Wave-Motion Gun, and can make the ship stealthy by canceling out electromagnetic waves including visible light. The main generator of the phase conversion armor is located around the bridge, and there are phase energy radiating antennas on the left and right.
On the other hand, as a battleship, its mobility surpasseses that of the Modified Pleiades-class. This is achieved by four auxiliary propulsion units. The stacked attitude control units installed on the mobile wings on both sides of the Modified Pleiades-class have been improved and made smaller, and have three straightening fins, which are placed on the back of the paddle-shaped protrusions at the bottom center of the hull. This protrusion has a high range of motion, allowing for flexible attitude control. It generates powerful thrust, which is used in conjunction with the large thrusters installed in various places on the hull during high maneuverability.
In addition, the bridge was designed to enhance its command functions, since it is used as the fleet’s headquarters. For example, the command screen, which covers almost the entire floor, not only displays various information, but also allows the captain/fleet commander to give direct instructions to all ships in the fleet.
Total length: 444m
Aircraft: Assault Fighter Caterpillar (planetary domination specs), Heavy combat fighter Alctea, etc.
Armament:
Dual Infinite Beta Cannon x 1
Triple heavy nucleus beta turrets x 3

and other internal armaments
Chapter 3 update:
Infinite Beta Cannon
The Infinite Beta Cannon releases the dimensional boundary surface by quantum field manipulation and gravity modulation, generating a dimensional fault. At this time, the energy gradient generated between normal space and subspace through the dimensional fault causes a sudden energy outflow, but the self-repairing action of the dimensional boundary surface closes the fault, and the energy returning to normal space induces a state on the verge of vacuum collapse.
This is because the phase of the energy dispersed in subspace aligns all at once when it returns to normal space, causing a localized energy runaway (a phenomenon similar to the “collapse of Cooper pairs” when returning from a superconducting state to a normal state).
Furthermore, the closure of the dimensional fault causes a vacuum energy fluctuation, so the energy density of the space on the firing axis rises sharply, and an energy explosion is induced from a special energy state just before vacuum collapse.
The Infinite Beta Cannon has the word “infinite” in its name because it opens the dimensional boundary surface between normal space (α space) and subspace (β space) in a chain reaction, generating an energy explosion comparable to a Wave-Motion Gun.
Saucer Fighter Alctea
The combined military power of Earth and Garmillas encountered during the Iscandar transfer plan was a great inspiration to Dezarium’s weapon and tactical system. Having witnessed the technological accumulation of the past lost in the “Great Loss,” Dezarium actively tried to incorporate technologies that were not based on wave energy. The result was the Grodez-class annihilation battleship Grodez in battleships and the Alctea in fighter planes.
Due to its size as a fighter plane, the energy output of the Caterpillar raider fighter was low, and the level of phase conversion armor that could be used was by no means high. On the other hand, even though they did not have phase conversion armor, the fighters of both the Earth and Garmillas armies were able to fight on equal terms with the Caterpillars due to their high aerial combat performance. This led Dezarium to develop a new type of fighter plane that incorporated the characteristics of these fighters.
For example, a dog tooth (leading-edge extension) was installed in the center of the wings that spread out to the left and right in a disk shape, in anticipation of atmospheric air combat. Dog tooth improves stability during high-speed maneuvers and sudden maneuvers, but Dezarium, which was primarily accustomed to space battles and on their home planet where the environment had changed dramatically, considered this technology a relic of the past until it engaged in combat with a 23rd century spacecraft during the “Iscandar Transfer Plan.”
The cockpit is equipped with control devices on both sides of the seat. The aircraft’s movement is pressure-sensitive, controlled by the pilot’s hands, and the use of the onboard weapons is done with operation switches located around the device. The aircraft’s high maneuverability imposes complex G forces on the pilot, just like the Caterpillars, but it is a tolerable burden for Alphon and others who are Homo Dezarium.
The main weapon is an antenna-shaped small beam turret, just like the Caterpillars. It is an assault fighter designed for planetary domination. This aircraft is a two-seater, with a gunner inside the small beam turret. However, only Alphon’s command aircraft is a single-seater, with the small beam cannon operated from the cockpit. This is because Alphon has superior piloting abilities compared to ordinary soldiers, and it was determined that operating alone would produce better results.
Length: 17.0m (20.5m when pod is deployed)
Crew: 2 ordinary pilots, 1 Alphon pilot
Armament:
Small beam cannon x 1
12.7mm machine guns x 4
