Technology & Combat Characteristics
Edit
The Abyss is a transformable unit specialized in underwater combat which can transform into a streamlined mobile armor mode which also increases its speed when operate in space. The suit is heavily armed and features a large number of beam weapons. Besides the beam weapons, the suit also features several CIWS guns, torpedo launchers, and a beam lance for close combat. When operating on ground or in space, the Abyss's variety of beam weapons allows it to function as a long range support unit.
ArmamentsEdit
- MMI-GAU1717 12.5mm CIWS
- MMI-GAU25A 20mm CIWS
- MGX-2235 "Callidus" Multi-phase Beam Cannon
- M107 "Balaena Kai" Dual Beam Cannon
- An M107 "Balaena Kai" dual beam cannon, which is only used in mobile armor mode, during which it usually faces forward but can swing up. Although ineffective in aquatic battle, Balaena Kai allow Abyss to fire on aerial targets as it leap from the water.
- MMI-TT101 Mk9 High-speed Guided Torpedo
- For underwater and land combat the suit mounts four MMI-TT101 Mk9 high-speed guided torpedo launchers on the shields. In mobile suit mode the shields can swing upwards to fire the torpedos at a target in front of the suit. In mobile armor mode the launchers are facing forword of the suit.
- M68 Dual Cannon
- MA-X223E Triple Beam Cannon
- MX-RQB516 Beam Lance
- Since the Abyss was design for aquatic combat, it is only Second Stage series that isn't armed with "Vajra" beam saber. Instead, Abyss follow trend of GAT-X255 Forbidden Blue and its successor by using beam lance in melee combat.
System FeaturesEdit
- The suit is also among the new units to be equipped with the new Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System, which allows a properly equipped battleship to remotely recharge a mobile suit's battery.
HistoryEdit
In late CE 73, ZAFT created a new series of advanced mobile suits to succeed their previous generation of Gundams, which were all lost in the previous war. Since the Treaty of Junius banned the military use of the Neutron Jammer Canceller, these new Gundams use conventional battery power instead. One of these suits is the Abyss; which, like the ZGMF-X24S Chaos and the ZGMF-X88S Gaia can transform into a mobile armor mode which is speciallized for a certain terrain. In the Abyss's case this terrain is water, where the suit outperforms all previous underwater models. Unlike previous amphibious mobile suit, Abyss Gundam can function in space.
The Abyss is initially tested at Armory One by Mare Strode. However, before ZAFT can bring it into active service, Auel Neider of the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion (also known as Phantom Pain) steals the mobile suit and escapes with it to the battleship Girty Lue, where it is given the new model number RGX-02. The Abyss is later transferred to Earth and operates from the carrier John Paul Jones. The Abyss sinks the ZAFT submarine Nyiragongo in the Indian Ocean, but is later destroyed by the ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse in a naval battle off the coast of Crete, killing Auel in the process.
In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray, Courtney Heironimus explan that Abyss was originally an ZGMF-X56S/ε Abyss Impulse, another variant of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse specialize for aquatic combat. However, it was made into seperate MS to make it more effective.

TriviaEdit
- Abyss's head crest displays the text "X-31S ONE", which means "One" in Italian and is a reference to the Abyss's series number.
