Officially called the "false axis repulsive field generator system", the lambda driver is a pure Black Technology device capable of exerting mechanical force against space with no observable physical interaction. False axis refers to the lack of physical interaction, or lack of moment arm in the application of torque. This is in direct violation of Newtonian physics, particularly Newton's Third Law. However recent research showed that this law does not apply to a room that is curved by gravity, therefore using the curving of space as leverage is possible.

A select few Arm Slaves possess the device called the Lambda Driver which can manifest emotional thought patterns into raw and devastating physical power. Recently, a scientist working for Mithril has created a personal-scale version of the Lambda Driver, mounted to a human-sized Arm Slave prototype.

In practical situations, Lambda Drivers have three primary effects. The first is the generation of a shield of "solidified space" that provides high-level protection against physical and directed-energy attacks. Bullets and rockets literally are torn apart on contact with a Lambda Driver shield. A Lambda Driver can be used to add additional impact and penetration force to ranged attacks. When coupled with the spatial distortion effects, a bullet enhanced by this ability can penetrate armor without any decrease in velocity. Finally, a Lambda Driver can be used to enhance melee attacks, even to the point of causing the impact force of an attack to propagate at a different point in space than the actual impact site; for example, a Lambda Driver-equipped Arm Slave can punch at one Arm Slave, and the impact force can manifest completely on the other side and impact an Arm Slave standing directly behind it.
