F.L.E.I.J.A.

The Field Limitary Effective Implosion Armament (F.L.E.I.A.) is a "Heavy Strategic Anti-strongpoint Neutralize Warhead" developed by In Vogue under the leadership of Nina Einstein. It is pronounced "", in reference to the Norse goddess of love and magic.

Background
Initially under development in Ashford Academy by Nina Einstein, it was Nina's personal research on the possibility of using as viable source of fuel. Lloyd Asplund later took an interest and provided her with sakuradite to further her research. Following Princess Euphemia's death, she created a makeshift nuclear reactor fortified with sakuradite, intending to detonate it and take out all of Tokyo in a misguided attempt to kill Zero and avenge Euphemia. However, it failed to explode.

After being recruited as the chief of the In Vogue development team, she continued her research into nuclear power; however, the earlier prototypes all failed to achieve her desired result. She eventually created her first working prototype, dubbing it F.L.E.I.A. She mounted the first one on the Lancelot. Suzaku then detonates the prototype in the middle of the Tokyo Settlement, killing over 20 million people. A month afterward, the Toromo Agency managed to mass-produce them and mounted several of them on Schneizel's sky fortress Damocles.

Properties
It is a bomb of an unknown type, developed using sakuradite to cause a tremendous collapse effect obliterating all matter within its area of effect. It has the destructive power of fifty mega-collapse effects and is reinforced with sakuradite by twenty units. Its range is at least 3,000 meters within a cylindrical zone, preceded by a 1,300-meter radius spherical zone, and a tertiary range of 5,000 to 8,000 meters. The succeeding bombs created by the Toromo Institute, however, removed Nina's limiter, giving ten times the set range.

Sequence
Sakuradite within the F.L.E.I.A. is detonated in mid-air. The immediate energy caused by the sakuradite explosion then causes a nuclear fission reaction. The collapse effect starts at the creation of a Folkvangr Field. The collapse effect known as the Sessrumnir Sphere expands until it reaches its set range capacity. The Sessrumnir Sphere then rapidly reduces until it vanishes, along with everything caught inside the sphere. Air rushes to fill the space that the sphere (along with all matter absorbed into it) once occupied. This effect also damages nearby units and vehicles.
