Fafner Types

• Fafner Mark Dreizehn (XIII) - Nothung-model Fafner. Seen in the movie. It is piloted by Canon Hazama (old surname: Memphis).
• Fafner Mark Zwölf (XII) - Nothung-model Fafner. Seen in the movie. It is piloted by Seri Tatekami.
• Fafner Mark Elf (XI) - Nothung-model Fafner. Kazuki's boarding machine. Capable of atmospheric flight to a certain extent. Its core later implanted into Mark Sein when it was captured by the Neo UN. It doesn't appear in the movie.
• Fafner Mark Zehn (X) - Nothung model-Fafner. Seen in the movie. It is piloted by Akira Nishio.
• Fafner Mark Neun (IX) - Nothung-model Fafner. Seen in the movie. It is piloted by Rina Nishio.
• Fafner Mark Acht (VIII) - Nothung-model Fafner. Relatively basic Fafner used by Kenji Kondō.
• Fafner Mark Sieben (VII) - Nothung-model Fafner. Flight-capable Fafner based around the Mark Sechs. It is equipped with Dragon Tooth to fire enemies at distant range. It is piloted by Maya Tōmi.
• Fafner Mark Sechs (VI) - Nothung-model Fafner. Flight-capable in atmosphere. Used very briefly by Shōko in Episode 6 when she used it to destroy a Festum by activating self-destruct system. It doesn't appear in the movie.
• Fafner Mark Fünf (V) - Nothung-model Fafner. Defense-use Fafner equipped with the Aegis Shield. Used by Mamoru Kodate in the TV-series and later piloted by Hiroto Douma in the movie.
• Fafner Mark Vier (IV) - Nothung-model Fafner. Heavy assault unit briefly used by Kōyō Kasugai. Its core later implanted into Mark Nicht. In the movie, it is repiloted by Kōyō Kasugai (in Mir form).
• Fafner Mark Drei (III) - Nothung-model Fafner. Specialized Fafner used by Sakura Kaname. Can charge energy into its right hand to use the "Energy Knuckle" attack. Later piloted by Canon Memphis/Hazama and repiloted by Sakura Kaname in the movie.
• Fafner Megatherion model - Michio's Fafner, which is very different from the Nothung models made by Tatsumiya. This model is made by the Neo UN. Later destroyed after the battle with Festum.
• Fafner Babylon model - Canon's Fafner, which is very different from the Nothung models made by Tatsumiya. This model is made by the Neo UN. Later destroyed after the battle with Festum.
• Fafner Gnosis model - The mass-production Fafner models made by the Neo UN. Their reliability is questionable. Their armaments consist of a right-arm Machine gun and a left-arm beam cannon, which, as seen in the anime, are mostly useless against even the most common Sphinx-type Festums. It is briefly used by Kazuki Makabe when he was trying to escape from the Neo UN base after Festum's attack in the TV-series.
• Fafner ? model - A second mass-production Fafner of the Neo UN seen during Operation Heaven's Door which is capable of flight. Might be Megatherion units.
• Fafner Mark Sein ('Existence') - A Salvator-model Fafner created the Neo UN. Initially supposed to be piloted by Michio Hino, it became Kazuki's second boarding machine, delivered to him by a Festum in Master Form (Festums that take on human appearance) after Mark Elf was captured by the Neo UN and its core implanted into Mark Sein. The Festum in question is called Mjolnir and is the Festum his mother Akane Makabe merged with, thus having her looks. This unit changed form and abilities drastically after 'melting' inside a Festum, which among other things made it pilotable only by Kazuki.
• Fafner Mark Nicht ('Nothingness') - A Salvator-model Fafner created by the Neo UN. It is a black version of the Mark Sein's original form using the core of the sunken remnants of the Mark Vier. It was intended to be piloted by Yukie Kariya during Operation Heaven's Door, but it was stolen by the master festum Idun. It shares abilities from both Mark Sein and the festum. Later piloted by Misao Kurusu, as seen in the movie. The form of Mark Nicht appearing in the movie is more organic in appearance than it was originally, similar to Mark Sein's transformation in the series. It also appears more demonic and sinister in appearance.
• Fafner Titan Model (TSX) - Seen in Right of Left piloted by Ryō, Yumi, and their classmates, it appears to be a pre-production model Fafner. At least four were produced. The Assimilation Phenomenon also appears to be accelerated when using the Titan models. Armaments seems to consist of Arm Machineguns, a prototype version of the Ruga Lance simply called Naginata, and a multi-tube Missile launcher.
• Fafner Mark Zwei (II) - Also seen in Right of Left. It appears to have been built at the same time as the Mark I as their piloting tests were at the same time and they seem to have virtually identical configurations. This was Karin Kuramae's unit which she tried to board in the first episode. Most of it was used to repair/rebuild Mark Elf after Kazuki's first battle. It doesn't appear in the movie.
• Fafner Mark Eins (I) - This appears to be the first Nothung Model made by Tatsumiya island. It was supposed to be piloted by Sōshi Minashiro (as seen in Right of Left), but apparently he cannot use it because of his scarred eye. It is a basic unit that became Michio's after the destruction of the Megatherion. It doesn't appear in the movie.
• Zero Fafner - The prototype Fafner model, later referred as Agile-model Fafner in the movie, only mentioned in official background information. After its initial test phase some high-ranking members of Alvis defected to the Neo UN. Zero Fafner is piloted by Rina Nishio and Akira Nishio as seen in the movie.

Mark I-III+XI apparently share the same body design, as do Mk.VI & VII and IV & VIII, respectively, according to the Memorial Book.
