Requiem, designated as an "Orbital All-Aspect Tactical Cannon", is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of the Earth Alliance in the Cosmic Era. Located at the Daedalus lunar base on the dark side of the moon, Requiem is a huge cannon that fires a pale green energy beam. Relay stations, built from abandoned O'Neill cylinder space colonies with their end caps removed, use large Geschmeidig Panzer arrays to alter the beam's trajectory. The Requiem has five relay stations in total, and three of them are named "Gounod", "Fauré" and "Czerny". Using different combinations of these arrays, Requiem can be fired at targets anywhere in the Earth Sphere.

After Lord Djibril escaped from Orb to the Daedalus base, he intended to use this new weapon to wipe out the Supreme Council in PLANT's capital Aprilius One; however, one of the relay stations, Gounod, was discovered by a ZAFT task force led by Yzak Joule shortly before Requiem was fired. Battle damage to Gounod slightly altered the trajectory of the beam, and as a result Requiem missed its intended target. Instead, the beam directly hit and destroyed Januarius 1 through 4 and caused December 7 and 8 to collapse, leading to the deaths of over a million Coordinators. Joule Squadron subsequently destroyed the Gounod relay station, but Requiem's design was such that other stations could still be used to aim its beam at PLANT. ZAFT launched a heavy attack on one of these relay stations (which was strongly protected by the Earth Alliance forces) while Minerva attacked the Daedalus lunar base in order to destroy the cannon itself. While Rey Za Burrel and Shinn Asuka destroyed the mobile armors which protected the base, Lunamaria Hawke snuck into the base with the ZGMF-X56S Impulse and destroyed the control room just before Requiem could be fired again. Afterwards ZAFT took control over Requiem and used it to destroy the Arzachel lunar base of the Earth Alliance as well as a large part of their fleet.

It is shown that the beam emitter is equipped with positron reflector units; however it is unknown if this is part of the original EA design or if it is a new addition by ZAFT. Just before the next shot could be fired at Orb, the Requiem was destroyed by the ORB-01 Akatsuki and ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice when both units destroyed the main energy core.
