Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about a fictional class of mecha in the Zone of the Enders universe. For other meanings of "LEV", see LEV (disambiguation)
A Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle, or LEV, is a type of mecha in the Zone of the Enders universe. Although LEVs are outclassed by the more powerful Orbital Frames in both the game and anime, in the latter they are shown to be capable of occasionally destroying an Orbital Frame with concentrated firepower. LEVs are characterized by their large, cumbersome appearance.
There is however, the exception of the Vic Viper. This sleek, transformable LEV is a hybrid of Orbital Frame and LEV technology, possibly utilizing powerful innovations studied from Orbital Frame Jehuty. [1] Although it is in the LEV category, the Vic Viper has shown to be able to actually outclass many Orbital Frames, especially the enhanced model piloted by Leo Stenbuck in Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. It is also capable of taking a large amount of punishment most LEV's would buckle under despite its slender appearance.
There were two Vic Viper prototypes piloted by Leo Stenbuck and Rock Thunderheart. Thunderheart's Vic Viper is presumably destroyed before the start of the second game.[2]
