The EL-P-00 ALBA is an Elcano lightweight bipedal Armored Core model that first appears in ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON.
Summary[]
A unique lightweight bipedal AC developed by Elcano, in cooperation with Furlong Dynamics, with technological insights and material stolen from the Arquebus Corporation, then eventually ending up in the hands of the Rubicon Liberation Front.
The Alba is especially designed for aerial combat, possessing high booster and generator supply stats, along with a high firearm support spec. This combined with it's weight, allows it to do darting fast-paced maneuvers with the proper setup.
Ayre noted that the AC's design would require a special pilot to master, which only V.IV Rusty manage to do.

Trivia[]
- The word alba means "sunrise", "daybreak", and "dawn" in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
- In real life, the frame is designed by Takayuki Yanase, a mechanical designer and a former member of FromSoftware.
- He also worked on the Gundam franchise. This shows in the Alba's design, which takes some inspiration from the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone, which Takayuki designed.
