Space Station Asgard is a headquarters for a prevention and intervention force, not an interdimensional policing force. They attempt to operate within reasonable parameters, choosing to use necessary force to respond to a threat, but more importantly, to not cause escalating tensions within the worlds they visit. A known alliance with a political faction on a world, seeing the overwhelming might of some of Asgard's most invincible Super Robots could cause massive backlash and explosive retaliation from political rivals or enemies, afraid of Asgard's might being directed at them.
Because of this, Asgard attempts to classify worlds based on what they consider appropriate force and retaliation, and only field units of comparable technology to the worlds they attempt to help in. There is a risk involved in this, but any risk of escalation would work against Asgard's goals, potentially upsetting allies or whatever balance the world is in. After all, if people are impressed with bipedal tanks with nuclear launching additional capabilities, the state of nuclear deterrence in the world might become unnecessarily upset at a flying Gundam with enough firepower to take out entire conventional militaries in a matter of hours, even if ostensibly on their side. Even without the risk of them mistaking Asgard for invaders instead of helpers, the scramble to get their hands on that technology, or rather prevent their enemies from doing so, could result in mass destruction just to destroy the Asgard unit.

S Class

Any world deemed as S Class by Asgard is a world where the limiters are off. Either the technology level of the entire world is so advanced even a god-machine would appear to be the norm, or there are already incredibly powerful machines or beings already in action on this world. Super Robots as they are often known, may be the only type of mecha this world has seen, or they are on a world incompatible with most forms of technology. When a world is designated as S Class, Asgard considers themselves to have free reign to operate as needed. This does not mean tensions cannot ensue, but the situations are not likely to escalate due to Asgard's actions or interventions without gross negligence on their part.
Any mission in which Asgard deploys their own S Class units, however, should be considered one of extreme danger for anyone not using one of these machines, and excessive caution should be used by anyone in a mecha that cannot stand and deliver this kind of power.

S Class Worlds

Below are a sample of the worlds Asgard ranks as S Class.

A Class

Worlds of the A Class are worlds with exceptionally high levels of technology, or single mecha that can easily qualify as Weapons of Mass Destruction. Either interstellar travel technology, contact with alien technology and the ability to combat against it, or machines whose firepower and destructive potential belies their size and armament. Worlds classified as A Class are the most varied in scope, with some having exceptionally powerful mecha and others having galaxy spanning fleets, with less powerful individual mechs. However, they tend to be comparable, either in combat potential or overall technological level.

A Class Worlds

B Class

Nadesico.

C Class

Assault Suits Valken.

D Class

Code Geass.

E Class

Full Metal Panic.

F Class

Sakura Wars.

Trivia

Minutia that can upgrade a world's classification or technology level.

  • These rankings are not based on the strongest available unit in said world. They are based on the baseline, average unit available and other considerations for technology level.
  • Some units are harder to classify, or are in a world that would have no 'scale' with which to judge Asgard's actions, and some leeway is available.
  • An addendum to Asgard's policies are, of course, the threat level inferred. If a high-powered enemy using essentially a mechanical god is to attack a low-Class world, Asgard will not hesitate to respond in kind and then deal with the damages afterwards. For example, Master Therion attacking the Universal Century World will see Asgard respond with units that can match blows with a Deus Machina, since responding with Gundams would probably just get them killed.
