Angel Frames (AKA "Emblem Frames") are spaceships from the anime, manga and dating sim game, Galaxy Angel.
Designed with Lost Technology, all Angel Frames possess more advanced technology than even the latest military starship, with equipment such as Gravity Generators, Shielding, as well as a Chrono Drive System, which allows them to travel at high speeds across the galaxy. It is said that just a single Angel Frame is equivalent to that of an entire fleet. However, it is discovered in the first game that the simulation of a single frame defeating the entire fleet happens to be just Milfeulle Sakuraba's luck. The computer system eventually controlled the fleet to fire at each other, losing to Lucky Star without almost any resistance. Each Angel Frame is controlled by both the pilot's thoughts and emotions with the H.A.L.O. (Human-Brain and Artificial-Brain Linking Organization) System, and if their emotions become unstable, the less efficient the Angel Frame becomes, to the point where it ceases to function altogether. The pilot must possess the ability to synch with the Angel Frame's system in order for the H.A.L.O. system to work, because if not, the ship won't move an inch regardless of the pilot's skills. That is why a vast search was conducted to look for special people who could pilot the Angel Frames, which is how the Angel Troupe was formed. Civilians who were not from the military such as Mint and Vanilla have been chosen due to their ability to synch with the system.
The RA series Angel Frame from Galaxy Angel II has the ability to change into two modes. The first mode is the Flight Mode, which allows faster travel. The second mode is the Battle mode, which slows down the Angel Frame a bit, but it gives them a better advantage during battle.
Famous quotes containing the words angel and/or frames:
“But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed
And prey on garbage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
