Combat Abilities
Designed as an artillery mobile suit, the Calamity is only equipped with several powerful beam weapons, completely lacking any close combat weaponry. Its armament consists of two "Schlag" 125mm high-energy long-range beam cannons, which are mounted on the backpack of the suit, a chest mounted "Scylla" 580mm multi-phase energy cannon and a shield installed on the suit's left arm, which includes a "Kaefer Zwei" 115mm dual ram cannon. Besides these weapons the suit most times carries a large "Todesblock" 337mm plasma-sabot bazooka in its right hand.
History
In mid CE 71, the Earth Alliance collaborates with Muruta Azrael's Azrael Conglomerate to build three second-generation mobile suits to counter the G-units stolen by ZAFT. One of these is the GAT-X131 Calamity, an artillery mobile suit, whose "Biological CPU" was Orga Sabnak. A close combat variant of the Calamity is also created, the GAT-X133 Sword Calamity.
The Calamity is first used in the conquest of neutral Orb, then sent to space and assigned to the Archangel-class assault ship Dominion under the supervision of Azrael, who is also the leader of the anti-Coordinator terrorist group Blue Cosmos. Near the end of the war, it is destroyed by Athrun Zala in the ZGMF-X09A Justice.

Trivia
- Calamity's head crest displays the text "SEI X-131" (which means "Six" in Italian), and it is a reference to the Calamity being the sixth mobile suit developed as a second generation MS by the Earth Alliance.
