Cosmic Era Mobile Units

These are Mobile suits and Mobile Armors shown in the fictional Cosmic Era timeline of Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. Mobile suits and mobile armor are fictional mecha.

"Gundam" is never used in the series to officially identify any mobile suit; it is an acronym for two of the various Mobile Operating Systems used to run mobile suits, and Kira Yamato uses it as a nickname to refer to his mobile suit. The word "Gundam" is used in marketing copy and model kit/toy packaging to designate the "hero" mobile suits, as opposed to the normal "grunt" mobile suits.

Clyne Faction (Three Ships Alliance)

The Clyne Faction, or Three Ships Alliance, comprises the Archangel warship, the Eternal support ship, the Kusanagi prototype ship and several mobile suits. Being the Clyne Faction a unit comprised mostly by either ZAFT or Earth Alliance defectors, plus Orb Union personnel, it does not have any MS research nor production capability.

They deploy the following units (see the original constructors' sections for detailed information):

• EA's GAT-X103 Buster – Stolen by ZAFT, then retaken. Piloted by Dearka Elsman.
• EA's GAT-X105 Strike – Piloted by Kira Yamato until it is destroyed by Aegis. Rebuilt by Orb, it is then piloted by Mu La Flaga.
• Orb's MBF-02 Strike Rouge – Piloted by Cagalli Yula Athha.
• Orb's MBF-M1 M1 Astray – Eleven units, pilots included Asagi Caldwell, Juri Wu Nien, Mayura Labatt, and Jean Carry.
• Orb's MBF-M1A M1A Astray – One unit, piloted by Barry Ho.
• ZAFT's ZGMF-X10A Freedom – Stolen by Kira Yamato, severely damaged in Kira's battle with Rau Le Creuset, but repaired by Orb after the Bloody Valentine War.
• ZAFT's ZGMF-X09A Justice – Piloted by Athrun Zala, self-destructed to destroy GENESIS.
• EA's Moebius Zero (TS-MA2mod.00) – Mu La Flaga's custom mobile armor
• EA's Mistral (MAW-01) – Several units are stored in Archangel's hangar.

Earth Alliance/OMNI Enforcer

OMNI mobile suits have the designation GAT (Gressorial Armament Tactical). Experimental units in the series include the modifier of "X" before the unit designation number (example: GAT-X105 Strike). The word "Gressorial" means "adapted for walking". Mobile armors have the designation TS-MA (Theater Suppression – Mobile Armor).

OMNI's mobile suit operating system is designated "General Unilateral Neurolink Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver" (or "GUNDAM").

The Calamity, Forbidden, and Raider, along with their variants are equipped with a type of Phase Shift Armor called Trans-Phase Armor. TP armor varies from PS armor in that it activates only at the point and time of impact, because of this it uses less energy than PS armor, that energy can be used for heavy energy weapons.

Prototypes

• GAT-X102 Duel – General-purpose mobile suit, the first of the series. Stolen by ZAFT.
• GAT-X103 Buster – Medium-range artillery MS, equipped with two powerful cannons that can be combined together to form either a long range beam sniper rifle or a highly damaging beam shotgun. Stolen by ZAFT, later recovered.
• GAT-X105 Strike – Close combat MS, it uses power-up parts called Striker Packs to change configuration:
  • GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike – the most used pack, provides 2x beam sabers; additional maneuverability and atmospheric flight.
  • GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike – provides a MS-sized anti-ship beam saber, rocket anchor and a beam boomberang; enchances short-range melee attacks.
  • GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike – provides a high impulse beam cannon and additional shoulder mounted weapons; battleship-grade long range firepower.
  • GAT-X105+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Strike – An MA that's an enhancement of the Moebius Zero, it can transform into a Striker pack, providing the Strike or 105 Dagger all-range attack by using its 4 wire-guided weapon pods.
  • GAT-X105+P202QX Strike IWSP – Integrated Weapon System Pack, combines the benefits of all aforementioned packs by modifying a basic Aile Striker with two cannons and two rail cannons, as well as two 9.1m solid state anti-ship swords.
  • GAT-X105+P204QX Lighting Strike – Provides two additional energy packs and a sniper-class rail cannon, gives it at least additional 150% of operating time.
• GAT-X131 Calamity – Artillery prototype MS, carries a heavy weapon loadout, with 2 beam cannons on the shoulders, 2 on the shield, and a high energy beam cannon in the chest, as well as a powerful plasma sabot bazooka. Its "living CPU" pilot is Orga Sabnak.
• GAT-X133 Sword Calamity – Close combat version of Calamity, mounts two anti-ship swords instead of the backpack cannons, its shoulders have additional thrusters and mount two beam boomberangs, and it has two rocket anchors. It retains its chest mounted beam cannon, but it is 30% weaker than that of Calamity. Three units were built, piloted by famed aces Edward "Ed the Ripper" Harrelson and Rena "Sakura Burst" Imelia, and "Combat Coordinator" Four Socius.
• GAT-X207 Blitz – Uses the Mirage Colloid for stealth capabilities. Stolen by ZAFT, later destroyed by Strike.
• GAT-X252 Forbidden – Close-combat prototype MS, carries a powerful scythe and two movable shields which use the Mirage Colloid to deflect incoming beams. It is also heavily armed, with two CIWS, two machine cannons, a rail gun and a plasma induction cannon which it uses at all ranges with a controllable arcing beam. Its "living CPU" pilot is Shani Andras.
• GAT-X255 Forbidden Blue – Underwater combat prototype derived from the GAT-X252 Forbidden. Armed with a phonon maser cannon and supercativating torpedoes. At least two units were built, one piloted by "White Whale" Jane Houston.
• GAT-X303 Aegis – A trasformable MS-MA hybrid, can transform into mobile armor mode. It is equipped with a devasting beam cannon. Stolen by ZAFT and later self-destructed to destroy Strike.
• GAT-X370 Raider – A trasformable MS-MA hybrid, can transform into a high-speed fighter. It carries considerable weaponry, and can act as a subflight unit for the heavy, groundbound.
• GFAS-X1 Destroy – (Gressorial Fortress Armament Strategic Experimental). A heavily armed giant mobile suit, has a positron reflector that can nullify beam attacks. Its armament includes 4 large beam cannons, 20 smaller beam cannons, and 24 missile launchers on its massive backpack, 3 multi-phase energy cannons on its chest, 10 beam guns in its fingers, and 2 beam cannons on its forearm-mounted shields. It is able to annihilate an entire city easily with its overwhelming power. The "genocide machines" of this strategy level have exceeded the realm of standard tactics.

Production units

• GAT-01 Strike Dagger – Mass produced and simplified version of the Strike, carries a 57mm high energy beam rifle and one beam saber. Its first deployment is the Battle of Porta Panama, where the 13th Independent Mobile Battalion prove the mobile suit's worth.
• GAT-02L2 Dagger L – Mass-produced MS, the successor to the GAT-01A1 105 Dagger. Equipped with a beam carbine, beam sabers, a shield, and "Stiletto" knives. Can equip various Striker packs to modify armament and performance.
• GAT-04 Windam – Mass production GAT series MS. The successor to the Dagger L, it is similar in armament and can be equipped with the same Striker packs. Its performance is comparable to ZAFT's new ZAKU mobile suits.
• GAT-333 Raider Full Spec – A limited production version of Raider, specialized for atmospheric combat. Mounts missiles, machineguns, and disposable propellant tanks on external hardpoints.
• GAT-706S Deep Forbidden – The mass production version of Forbidden Blue. Some weapons have been removed, and has a strengthened pressure hull instead of the TP armor.
• GAT-S02R N Dagger N – A special operations mobile suit derived from the GAT-X207 Blitz and built on the frame of the GAT-01A1 105 Dagger. It is equipped with the N-Jammer Canceler, nuclear engine, and a Mirage Colloid stealth system.

Mobile armors

• TS-MA2 Moebius – Standard armament is a linear gun and four missiles, but these can be replaced by a single nuclear missile. It was used to destroy Junius 7 in the infamous "Bloody Valentine Incident".
• TS-MA4F Exass – Neo Lorrnoke's mobile armor, similar in concept and appearance to the TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero. Armed with 2 railguns, a missile launcher, and 4 wire-guided gunbarrels, which each mount two beam guns and two beam sabers.
• MAW-01 Mistral – A standard mobile pod primarily used for colony defense and for general utility work. Cheap and easy to use.
• FX-550 Skygrasper – Support fighter capable of carrying and using Strike's weapon packs. Skygrasper unit #2 was an unlucky craft; in its brief life it was shot down twice and repaired both times before finally being destroyed.
• YMAF-A6BD Zamza-Zah – Amphibious mobile armor, has a giant body of unique shape. Three pilots are needed to operate it (one for the main section, one for the claws, and one gunner). It is equipped with combat claws and cannons in the limbs, and a positron reflector in the head capable of deflecting positron beams. Destroyed by Impulse.
• TSX-MA717/ZD Pergrande – Prototype mobile armor, nuclear-powered and N-Jammer equipped. Features a multi-vector attack system called DRAGOON.
• YMAG-X7F Gerzu-Geh – Mobile armor with many similarities to the YMAF-A6BD Zamza-Zah defense mobile armor, but ground-based. It needs three pilots to operate it and also has a positron reflector. The lower body is spider-like, the upper body is a heavily modified Dagger torso.) Defeated by Saviour.

Eurasian Federation

While also in the Earth Alliance, the Eurasian Federation has their own mobile suits, the Composition Armament Tactical mobile suits. They are based on Acteton Industry's Gel-Finito.

• CAT1-X Hyperion – Unlike the Alliance's mobile suits, they do not have PS armor, but instead utlize the "Armure Lumiere" light wave shield generator, which can either simply create a lightwave shield on the forearm (which protects all attacks), or at the risk of running out of power, activate the "dome" mode, which provide 360 degrees protection. Aside from that, its armament (1x beam SMG and 5x beam knives) also has internal batteries. It also has two shoulder-mounted beam cannons. The beam armament is variable-speed, allowing the unit to return fire through the Armure Lumiere. Hyperion can only power the 360 degree barrier for 5 minutes.

ZAFT

ZAFT mobile suits have the following designations and meanings:

• ZGMF (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Fighter)
• ZGMT (Zero-Gravity Maneuver Trainer)
• AMF (Aerial Maneuver Fighter)
• TFA (Terrestrial Fighter Artillery
• TMF/A (Terrestrial Maneuver Fighter/Attacker
• UWMF/S (UnderWater Maneuver Fighter/Striker(?))
• UMF (Underwater Maneuver Fighter)
• YMF (Service Test Maneuver Fighter)
• XMF (Experiment Maneuver Fighter)

When ZAFT builds three new mobile suits based on the stolen MS units GAT-X103 Buster, GAT-X102 Duel, GAT-X303 Aegis and GAT-X207 Blitz, they re-designate the operating system for those suits as "Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module" Complex (or "GUNDAM").

After the Bloody Valentine War, the OS is updated to support the "Deuterion Beam Energy Supply System" that the newer ZAFT suits use, and re-designated as "Generation Unrestricted Network Drive Assault Module" .

ZAFT experimental units generally have their numerical designation prefaced with "X" followed by a two or three digit type code and a letter designating power system: "B" for Battery, "A" for Atomic and "S" for new suits powered by the Deuterion Beam Network System.

The two-digit series designators include a type number (first digit) and a series number (second digit), so the ZGMF-X56S Impulse is Type 5, Series 6.

• 2: Air/space-use units
• 3: Underwater-use units
• 4: General all-purpose-use units
• 5: Silhouette system units
• 8: Ground-use units
