=== Anti-Inertia System ===
=== Anti-Inertia System ===
A Machina is extremely dense, due to being made of Machinium. A Category 3 Machina standing the usual height of 200 cm and with average equipment will generally have a weight of 300 kilograms, but a mass of 3 metric tonnes. The Category 3 Machina's equipment constitutes half of the weight and mass. A Queen with a Fusion-type Throne of the same height will generally have a weight of 1 metric tonne, but a mass of 10 metric tonnes. The Queen's Throne constitutes three-quarters of the weight and mass.
A Machina is extremely dense, due to being made of Machinium. A Category 3 Machina standing the usual height of 200 cm and with average equipment will generally have a weight of 500 kilograms, but a mass of 5 metric tonnes. The Category 3 Machina's equipment constitutes half of the weight and mass. A Queen with a Fusion-type Throne of the same height will generally have a weight of 1.5 metric tonnes, but a mass of 15 metric tonnes. The Queen's Throne constitutes two-thirds of the weight and mass in this instance, but Thrones can vary greatly.
This is because of the Anti-Inertia Systems that all Machina possess. A Machina's spine transmits massive amounts of power along its length. It has been adapted to create a field with some of this power that reduces the inertia of the Machina and causes her to weigh approximately 10x less than her mass. This way, the Machina is neither crushed under her own weight nor does she casually crush her environment with her basic movements. As the field is tied to the power being transmitted along the length of her spine, these systems cannot be deactivated by the Machina even if she wanted to.
