Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Ball Type F has strengthened armor as well as a booster pack with propellant tanks on its rear. In order to reduce the high attrition rate of Ball units participating in combat, Federation leaders requested the development of a reinforced armor type. Also referred to as the Armor Type Ball, armor plates were added throughout the unit, including the cockpit. Improved performance was achieved through a rear booster pack equipped with additional thrusters and propellant tanks.
