Xanthippe

Xanthippe (クサンティッペ) is a 2nd Generation Capitalist Corporations Object. Designed and constructed by a burger chain company in the 7th Core and stationed to guard the capital Los Angeles, it is said to be the Capitalist Corporations' strongest Second Generation.

Etymology
(meaning "yellow horse" in ancient Greek, from ξανθός/xanthos ("blond") and ἵππος/hippos ("horse") is the name of the wife of, as well as.

Technology
According to Alicia Sloppyjoes and the bodyguard, the Xanthippe specializes in animal control, using ultrasonic waves, artificial pheromones and other things to summon swarms of locusts and edible earthworms. In its role of guarding LA, it uses these swarms to form a massive wall to protect the border with Central America. Aside from combat, it was also apparently designed to prevent starvation tactics, where a unit is isolated and their supply lines are cut off.

However, its operation is apparently very costly. Although Alicia noted that its title as strongest should help discourage an attack, she mentioned (during the world war) that simply preventing damage from spreading too far was costing so much money that actual fighting would likely cause Xanthippe's company to go under.

Background
Xanthippe was designed and constructed by a member of 7th Core, specifically a burger chain that was noted to be globally famous even for a 7th Core company. Stationed to guard the Capitalist Corporations home country capital Los Angeles (which is managed by 7th Core), it was said to be their strongest Second Generation Object.

Doomsday (Part 2)
The Xanthippe was mentioned in a discussion between Alicia Sloppyjoes and the bodyguard, with the former noting the economic downsides of its operation and the consequences for 7th Core, particularly in its weakened state after the assassination of Salem Logistics' CEO and the failure of the Elevator Alliance the seven companies jointly funded.
