Plavsky Particles are an unknwon element, the fundamental "brick" in the modeling of the Gundam Build Fighters series Gunplas. Both Gunplas, their accessories and the game stage are made (at least in part) by Plavsky Particles, which allows the battlefield to move the gunplas as well as to reproduce Gundam battle effects, giving realism to the simulated battles. It was discovered and created exclusively by PPSE
Anime
The Plavsky Particle was introduced in GBF and is considered one of the plot's key elements.
Alan Adams from Plavsky Particle System Engineering is an engineer who specializes in it.
According to Nils Nielsen, whose purpose in entering the tournament is to learn the secrets behind the Particles, they are created by fusing antiparticles together. Furthermore the mechanisms behind its production are unknown outside of the company (and most likely exclusive knowledge of its CEO). Nielsen seeks to exploit further uses for the Plavsky Particles which PPSE apparently does not exploit, beyond making the Gunpla Simulated Fights, for unknown reasons.
Despite its secrecy on the creation of the particles, PPSE does not hold exclusivity on how they can be used:
- Sei Iori was able to extensively modify his Star Build Strike Gundam with the Absorb and Discharge system that allows it to absorb Particles (mainly from enemy energy-based fire) and use it to boost the Gunpla's output. Furthermore, he created a third system, the RG System, which allowed higher coordination and strength of the model by manipulating the particles on the inside of the Gunpla in addition to the outside of the Gunpla, which is the common method.
- Mao Yasaka's School Master has developed techniques that allow Gunpla models to exhibit unique abilities, such as being able to fire a Satellite Cannon without the use of the microwave system.
- Nils Nielsen was able to use the field particles to best Tallgeese Valkyrie by manipulating the very field with his Sengoku Astray. He was also able to identify Sei's own use of the Particles.
- At least one fighter was able to modify the particles in order to grant his gunpla an I-Field, despite the fact the canonical model would not have been able to implement such a function.
In Episode 15 Chairman Mashita of PPSE , the world tournament sponsor, confides to his PA, Baker, that the secret of Plavsky Particles, something which he apparently keeps to himself, is endangered by Reiji's continued presence in the tournament. Unknown to them Nils overhears this confession while spying on the chairman.
