As such, even 120mm cannons are useless on them.
*:They have extremely tough armour, with hardness 15 on the Mohs scale in front. *Destroyer-class BETA Impestusis: Arma duras "Ruitare" *:The BETA's main force in battles against mechanized infantry and senjutsuki. *:Armed with two extremely tough forearms, with hardness 15 on the Mohs scale, which they use to batter enemies to death. *Grappler-class BETA Rrabidusius: Bracchium acutas "Medium" *:The interval between shots is 36 seconds. *:Fire lasers from their giant eyes, effective against targets of up to height 500 metres and range of ever 100000 metres. *:21.0 metres tall (excluding the cooling wings) *Heavy laser-class BETA Magnus Luxcius: Unioculus "Magnus Lux" *:They can start to target objects 380000 metres away. *:The interval between shots is 12 seconds. *:Fire lasers from their giant eyes, effective against targets of up to height 10000 metres and range 30000 metres. *Laser-class BETA Luxcius: Duo oculus "Lux" Ultimately, these are only what have been identified, and there are (probably many) more. Mankind has identified seven strains of BETA. They have been likened to the space monsters of Top wo Nerae! (and to a lesser extent, the Buff Clan of Ideon)- Their biggest strength is in their numbers and they are really ugly. From what the Superior says, it sounds like this refers to the number of BETA, but Takeru takes it to refer to the number of Superiors if it is indeed the latter, and each Superior has a number of BETA under it equal to that of Earth's, that would mean there are probably around 10 37+10 37x7 10 to 10 37+10 37x9 10 BETA in existence. They consider humans to be resources to be recycled.Īlso, there are apparently at least 10 37 BETA scattered throughout the universe. They do not consider humans to be life-forms because we are carbon-based- They do not consider themselves to be life-forms, as they are actually biological weapons created by a being known only as the "Creator" (創造主 "Souzoushu"), a silicon-based life-form, and so only consider silicon-based entities to be life-forms (the superior states that it is impossible for carbon-based life-forms to occur naturally). We find out more about the BETA from Takeru's conversation with the Superior (上位存在, "Jouisonzai", also referred to as "Target A"/あ号標的, "A-gou hyouteki") at the end of Alternative. All that mankind knows of them during Unlimited and at the start of Alternative is that they are (obviously) hostile, are carbon-based lifeforms (this was discovered when specimens were examined in Alternative 2), and don't consider humans to be living beings (this was found out through Soviet psychics' readings in Alternative 3). Their very existence is shrouded in mystery. They cannot fly, and so shoot down anything that does, rendering aircraft useless and making evacuation a lot more difficult. They vary greatly in size, the smallest identified strains (soldier-class) being around three metres tall, and the largest identified strains (fort-class) at over sixty metres tall. When they first arrived in Japan in 1998, 36 million people were dead within a week.
By 2001, the world population is down to 1 billion people. Muv-Luv Unlimited and Alternative take place in alternate worlds where the BETA invaded Earth in 1973 after arriving on the Moon in 1967 and being spotted on Mars in 1958. The Beings of the Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race or BETA are a fictional extraterrestrial lifeform in the Muv-Luv computer games.
