Gauntlet
To fly freely at the speed of sound, like a fighter jet! To fearlessly withstand all attacks, like a tank! To wield the weaponry of a fortress, a warship! I'm not talking about some comic book hero. What you're looking at is the next generation of soldiers who will defend world peace!
—Gauntlet Knight propaganda video
The Gauntlet is a powerful piece of military technology that can only be worn by gifted people. The power to wield the Gauntlet is exceptionally rare; Only 150,000 people across the worlds' ten billion are capable of it. Those who wield the Gauntlet can fly at 800 kph. Much of Gauntlet technology is prone to malfunctioning and improper use to its functions can severely injure its user. Any Gauntlet user is equipped with a heads-up display called a Kizuna. This function allows for easy recognition of hostiles and helps lock-on to targets. The Kizuna comes with an AI known as Keropoyo, the mascot of Selcom.
