Minovsky Particles were used in the crucial particle weapons used by both militaries in the One Year War. These particles, developed by the Belorussian Zeon scientist Minovsky, are able to be charged with an extremely strong electrical charge, and large amounts of these particles dispersed over an area are able to absorb electromagnetic radiation. This particle's role in Mobile Suit maneuver warfare lead to the Battle of Loum between the Earth and the Moon.
