The Migobueza coating of a Kelkapia-Class High Speed Astro Cruiser in action during Operation M
Migobueza coating is a type of protective megnetic coating equipped on all ships of the Imperial Garmillas Defense Force, allowing them to repel weaker beam weaponry.[1] Following the Second Battle of Mars the coating was reverse engineered by the United Nations and applied on the Kongo-class battleship Kirishima, it's possible that ships developed towards and after the end of the Great Garmillas War were also equipped with the technology.[1][2][N 1]
Notes[]
- Its name comes from "Migobuia", the Garmillan word for reflective satellite.

This coating allowed Kirishima to survive hits from enemy weapons that easily wiped out other UNCN vessels during the First Battle of Pluto. It is likely that the same technology was applied to the hull of Yamato, which survives more severe impacts during its first year of operation.
