| - Senjutsuki (戦術機, "tactical machines"), or Senjutsuhokousentouki (戦術歩行戦闘機, "tactical walking battle machines"), are large walking robots used as weapons to fight against aliens known as the BETA ("Beings of the Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race") in the video games Muv-Luv (Unlimited) and Muv-Luv Alternative. The official translation of the name is "tactical surface fighter." However, this is never used in the games, and was first seen around nine months after Alternative was released, in promotional materials for Total Eclipse As Muv-Luv Unlimited and Alternative take place in alternate timelines to the real world, where mankind has been at war with aliens since 1967, they have been around since the 1970s. The creation of senjutsuki was essential to fighting the BETA, because most kind of airborne units were rendered useless by laser-class BETA and any other ground weapons could not fight effectively inside BETA hives. Most of the American Senjutsuki are based on real-life fighter jets (e.g.- F-4 Phantom). As aerial combat is obsolete in the Unlimited/Alternative universe, it can be probably assumed that the people who created them in this world created the senjutsuki in the alternate worlds. Due to the major difference between fighter jets and Senjutsuki, the life expectancy of earlier senjutsuki pilots (who were former fighter jet pilots) in battle was around 8 minutes. A senjutsuki action figure line by Volks (A3 =Advanced System of Action Arms=) is in the works and to be released in 2007.
