Techinical Notes:
Aurora Gundam was a machine built to exclusively utilize Neo-Iceland’s recently pioneered "Aurora drive" that had been developed by Dr. Kari Arnason. Using a form of complex energy fission, the Aurora drives mounted on the mobile suit's forearms emit an explosive form of energy, which lowers the temperature of an object to the point where ice is actually formed at the point of contact. Through the use of powerful, yet unstable magnetic fields, the energy can be directed into an attack known as the Aurora beam. The same technology is also implemented in the Aurora Gundam's "Thin Ice" aurora saber, which in addition to functioning as an ordinary beam saber, instantly freezes anything it doesn't actually cut.

The directors of the Aurora Gundam project soon realized that while effective for a short period of time, the ice would not maintain it's shape and integrity at the various outside temperatures of the Gundam fight arenas. Therefore, the Aurora Gundam was equipped with two Arnason particle emmiters. When these devices are launched into the air, they disperse the Arnason particles, which will drastically lower the air temperature of the surrounding area to below 0 degrees Celsius as long as the emitters remain active.

When designing the Aurora Gundam, little attention was given to defense, as to match Tomas' style of fighting. Instead, the machine's primary focus is offense and power. These attributes are further augmented through the activation of the Barrage mode, boosting the offensive power of the mobile suit to nearly 150%. Once this mode is activated however, it weakens the mobile suit's structural integrity, lowering it's already weak defenses even further.


Ultimate attacks:
Sub-Zero Fist
The Aurora drivers gather a large amount of energy, then release it once Tomas lands a punch, resulting in an explosion of energy that would likely freeze and destroy anything it comes into contact with. Using this technique will leave the Aurora drivers drained for a short period of time afterward.

Glacier Shield
Aurora Gundam slams its fist into the ground and fires the Aurora beam, creating a wall of ice that can be used as a temporary defense. Using this technique will leave the Aurora drivers drained for a short period of time afterward.

Aurora Torrent (Barrage Mode Only)
Using the extra power gained from activating the Barrage mode, the Aurora Gundam gathers an immense ammount of energy into the Aurora Drivers and then unleashes it in an enourmous blast of energy.

Aurora Flayer (Barrage Mode Only)
Aurora Gundam channels all power from both Aurora Drives into the Thin-Ice blade, which allows it to produce an energy blade twice the length and twice as powerful as the normal blade.
