TXF-017SR "Amaterasu" Strategic Field Inversion Device

The TXF-017SR "Amaterasu" Strategic Field Inversion Device (aka Amaterasu) is a WMD used by Praetoriani in Mobile Suit Storm Gundam.

Technical Information
Based on data of the observed Storm Drive field inversion the TXR-017SR is in essence a heavily modified Storm Drive itself. During the witnessed field inversion a prototype Storm Drive's Reichold Space was overloaded by overtaxing the drive and causing the field containment system to fail. The drive's systems had been adjusted for a particle generation rate well above regular levels, attempting to create a drive which could function at Burst Mode levels at normal operations. The strain on the Reichold Space lead it to implode, generating several HSR particles due to sudden rise of energy released by the reduction in field size, and fusing HSR particles together. This fusion of exotic particles caused a spike in energy and the inversion of the Reichold Space, forming an "HSR microstar" at the centre. However, due to the exotic nature of HSR particles the Reichold Space became unstable and started to warp its contents on the atomic level. The HSR microstar caused the field to convert more electrons into SR particles, shifting more into high energy states and drawing them together. As the core grew the field around it began to expand exponentially, warping the space it consumed.

By replicating the field implosion and inversion the situation can be recreated at will, while the device's initial detonation is only 20% more powerful than a TXF-09 "Seraphim" Tactical Thermonuclear Weapon, the lasting effects are far more devastating. The warped space produced by field inversion does not behave following established physics, any substance which attempts to cross into the inverted field is nearly instantly destroyed on the atomic level and creates a field spanning several thousands of kilometres if left to fully expand. Ultimately the core will no longer be able to sustain a field of such size and shifts to a lower energy state, dispersing the field but leaving the space almost devoid on the atomic level. Currently the only known way to prevent total field inversion is a large SR particle blast directed at the core, absorbing the energy of HSR particles and dispersing them.
