BR Drive (G00:L)

The BR Drive, Baryonic matter Reactor Drive or GN Drive Prototypes, were the modernized prototype of the GN Drive and GN Drive Tau refashioned by a secretive group of Innovade Observers. Although they were originally built two centuries ago and created for the simple expense of testing Schenberg's theories, saving Daisuke Hajime from death and unintentionally evolving him into the first Unnatural Innovator thereby cursing the easily agitated youth an existence of immortality alone, by Celestial Being they are called the "First Generation GN Drives" or simply even "GN Drives" but the latter has been claimed untrue just on principle and system settings.

Description and Characteristics
Like a GN Drive, the BR Drive is a semi-perpetual generator, scaled for installation in a mobile suit, which harnesses the byproducts of baryonic decay as an energy source. Like every other power source, a BR Drive has a limited moment-by-moment output; however due to its very nature a BR Drive will continue to supply power for a theoretically infinite period of time, so long as the BR drive is not pushed to breaking limits.

Within the context of mobile suit combat, it affords a unit the benefit of an inexhaustible power supply. The non-existent heat signature of its internal processes, combined with the GN Particle emissions, give any unit with a GN or BR Drive a potent mix of stealth and ECM characteristics; neither the GN Drive, BR Drive nor any thruster emissions can be seen by infrared sensors and the GN Particles scatter radar and disrupt long range communications.

Incidentally the GN Particles released by the BR Drive is described as a higher quality than those of a GN Drive or GN Drive Tau, the BR Drive has been calculated to have a higher output of Particles and a slightly higher energy output than either of its descendents if their infiltration of a heavily medically sealed room during an experiment is anything to go by, these Drives also create much more Particles than the energy they produce and therefore the effects of the Particles on heat and detection wavelengths are expanded over a greater range - approximately three times that of a singular GN Drive.
