*: The minimum amount of Mana power needed to operate the Machina unit at optimal efficiency. Mana Power below the minimum will cause the machine to perform below normal levels.
**: Crystals, a measurement unit indicating the power of a single Hope Crystal. The unit was founded on studying the average starting power of newly recruited magical girls and the power levels of Destroyers. Can be converted into Watts.
^: The maximum power that the Machina unit, or often its Mana Converter can handle. Above this point is when the systems start to fail and break down. The Ultimate Safe Power is how much it takes for the machine to explode instantaneously.

This Machina Weapon was discovered in an operation launched by the Black Iris to seize a Phantasma Box, a vault that takes the form of ancient artifacts, particularly jewels, and conceals weapons of forgotten history. The Phantasma Box was accidentally activated by Kyoko Liu, a former student at Arahi No. 28 Middle School, when it released the Machina unit concealed within. He was forced to pilot the old and rugged machine by instinct while pursued by AMF.

Kyoko immediately found safety from the Black Iris crew, who codenamed it “Titania” after the fairy from a Midsummer Night’s Dream and the butterfly-like energy wings it gives off from its boosters. The Machina Weapon became his primary means of combat despite its worn-out state from lack for maintenance, the development of more refined models, and the setup for left-handed pilots (As a violinist, Kyoko is more used to his right hand).

Overtime, the crew managed to repair most of its damaged systems, including the two shoulder-mounted hardpoints used to store optional equipment on the back. Future analysis would lead to a mass-produced model on the Black Iris. Because the current technology is far behind what’s found on the original Titania, this “prototype” remains an invaluable asset to the war effort.
