Lore

With the release of the AAM-33A-1 a few days ago, Rokugou Systems started gathering data surrounding its performance.
It showed much higher speed and energy retention than the AAM-35, but was a bit more lackluster in maneuverability.
So, with this information, they went to rework it again. It didnt take too much work, but it got done slowly because of some external internet issues that hit the continent.
However, they eventually got back up and running to release it.
