Although these mechs could easily handle regular dominion legionaries, the only hope they had of defeating the cadets was to outnumber them. Moreover, victory against the dominion's Eidolons was simply not possible, so MA pilots had no choice but to flee until the summoning had expired. Hoping to remedy their pernicious predicament, imperial scientists devised the heavily armored Colossus and the airborne Helldiver MA models, which in turn helped spur the development of other models which would aid the anti-dominion offensive.[-1_2][-1_2]One of these was the Dâinsleif, deployed in the invasion of Akademeia. This MA was equipped with a crystal jammer, a device that nullifies the power of enemy Crystals, allowing the empire to effectively paralyze all troops in Orience reliant upon their Crystal for strength. At the time of the invasion, however, the crystal jammer used was nothing more than a prototype. Furthermore, only a l'Cie could operate the jammer-mounted Dâinsleif, and it would require a considerable amount of time and further testing before the machine could be put into practical use.[-1_2][-1_2]The other new model was the prototype Gabriel, equipped with a magic shield capable of neutralizing the dominion's spells and piloted by Brigadier General Qator Bashtar at the Battle of Togoreth. Unlike the crystal jammer, this magic shield function was simple enough for mortals to control. Unfortunately, the Gabriel was also very unstable and prone to overheating, and it would be some time until this mech was truly ready for battle.[-1_2][-1_2]Both of these MAs were designed to disable the dominion's spells and Eidolons, as the empire was keenly aware of the fact that heavy-plated armor and high mobility alone would not be enough to counter the magic of the Vermilion Bird Crystal.<#>
