Original Archetype Mare Crisium

The Original Archetype Mare Crisium is a powerful mech piloted by veteran ace Luna-Terra.

Nature
Despite being over two decades old, Mare Crisium is a very sturdy and strong mech. It is noted as being "the archetypal prototype for all other ship-selves" and is "furiously untouchable." Unlike the other ship-selves, it is operated completely manually.

Physical Appearance
Mare Crisium is a "regal and stiff" mech dressed in cold metallics that have been weathered and refurbished. Its head resembles a horse's, and it is always followed by a thin trail from a bleeding wound Luna-Terra could never completely repair. Designers meant for Mare Crisium to appear like a "neutral, idealized body, representing all of humanity."

Abilities
The mech carries a spear, with which it rammed String of Pearls while in combat. It also put a "stake of solid light/solid light bullet" through String of Pearl's leg. To stabilize its movement, Mare Crisium is fitted with balance gyros.

Trivia

 * Mare Crisium has a still-bleeding wound across its upper body that Luna-Terra has never been able to fully repair, much like the scar on Luna-Terra's own face.
 * Saturn refers to the wound she left on Mare Crisium's leg as a "love bite" and tells Luna-Terra to pay her back for it.
 * It was manufactured in 1969 (on the moon).
 * It was the first machine built to exert gravitational control externally.
 * The name "Mare Crisium" likely refers to the lunar mare 'Mare Crisium' in the Moon's Crisium Basin. A lunar mare is a 'large, dark, basaltic' plane on the Moon's surface. The Mare Crisium is also referred to as the Sea of Crises, the same name of the achievement you get for beating the game as Luna-Terra.
