EXTOL System

The EXTOL System is a unique feature of the ESG(NTX)-091 Excillion Gundam, allowing it to triple its maximum speed for a short period of time.

Description & Characteristics
Excillion's frame is built to hold multiple Reichold Particle Condensers like any other mobile suit, but also features several high power capacitors which store excess electricity. During normal operations, the Storm Drive's fusion plant produces more power than it can convert into Reichold Particles, which are stored in powerful batteries and can be used to stabilise Reichold Particle generation if the fusion plant's output fluctuates.

When the EXTOL System is activated, excess power is channelled from the capacitors to the suit's thrusters. The Excillion's propulsion system has been specially designed to handle large increases in power, temporarily overclocking the suit's electrostatic ion thrusters. This drastically raises Excillion's speed and acceleration when activated, though the electrostatic ion thrusters are not normally used within the atmosphere they are temporarily activated when EXTOL is used. A notable light trail can be seen when the system is activated from the overclocked ion thrusters.

At maximum output, EXTOL can be used for a maximum of five minutes to boost the suit's speed. However, following the depletion of the capacitors, the can be recharged over time while out of the field by the Storm Drive's fusion plant.
