Evangelion: Fourteen years of research and billions of dollars have been spent to create the "All-Purpose Humanoid Fighting Machine - Evangelion." Constructed in secret and controlled by Special Agency NERV, these massive biological machines were ostensibly created to defend the earth from the invading Angels. They can only be piloted by 14 year olds who've lost their mothers. Their name is derived from "Eve," wife of Adam in the Old Testement, and "Evanges," meaning "gospel."

Eva's can handle a vast range of hand held or shoulder mounted weapons.

N^2 Weapons: N^2 mines, depth charges, and bombs constitute the most destructive conventional weapons within the arsenal of the UN Military and the JSSDF.

Ballistic Rifles consist of Various Grenade and Missile Launchers, including Positron Sniper rifles - affected by gravity, magnetic fields, and rotation of Earth.

Bakelite: This is the central term for the phenol resin used for electrical and heat insulation. A special thermosetting version of this resin was used to immobilize Eva Unit 00 when it went berserk during activation. This quick-drying compound with the ability to stop all physical motion makes it an ideal defensive measure for such emergencies. The "Adam" embryo Kaji carried from Germany to NERV headquarters in Japan was also encased in this special Bakelite.

Shoulder holstered ballistic harpoon system hidden in shoulder armor.

Shoulder holstered Progressive Knife (vibrating knives using ultrasonic waves) also hidden in shoulder armor. Progressive Knife: Part of the Eva's standard armament, the "Prog Knife" operates by dividing materials at the molecular level using a blade composed of particles vibrating at high frequency. It is housed in the shoulder of the Eva. Later models are fashioned like a box-cutter with a blade that can be extended, should part of it break off.

AT(Absolute Terror) Fields — Protective barrier/shield

Plug Suit: Similar in structure to a wet suit, the Plug Suit increases the synchronization rates between the Eva's and their respective pilots. Molded from a single piece of material, the suits fit loosely at first but automatically adjust to the wearer after a switch on the wrist is activated. The suits also provide various information by means of a small monitor on the back of the hand.

MAGI, The: The brain of Special Agency NERV, this supercomputer designed by Dr. Naoko Akagi actually consists of three computer systems: Melchior-1, Balthasar-2, and Caspar-3. They are named after the three wise men from the East who came to witness the birth of Jesus in the New Testament. The operating systems for the three computers are not identical. Personality Transplant OS was used to transfer human thought patterns into the computers. As such, each of the three reproduces the thought patterns of one aspect of Dr. Naoko Akagi's personality. In this way, they are able to re-create human dilemmas.

Heat Shield — made from space shuttle hulls

Electro-magnetic cages for capturing angel eggs

S2 — Super Solenoid drive systems employed by the Evangelions.

Lance of Longinus, The: Both a powerful weapon and a tool to be used in conjunction with Lilith to complete the Human Instrumentality Project, this spiral-shaped, two-pronged spear was unintentionally launched into the moon's orbit after it was used to destroy the 15th Angel. It has the power to penetrate A.T Fields.
