The Abyss is a Mobile Suit in the series Gundam SEED Destiny.

Contents

Combat Abilities

The Abyss is a transformable unit specialized in underwater combat which can transform into a streamlined mobile armor mode. The suit is heavily armed and especially featured a large number of beam weapons (a total of six). 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, Abyss's variety of beam weapons allows it to function as a long range support unit.

Armaments

Beam weapons

The suit mounts a total of six beam weapon types, of which the strongest is the chest-mounted MGX-2235 "Callidus" multi-phase beam cannon. Other weapons includes 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, allowing the suit to fire on targets in the air from the water. As its name suggests, this cannon is an improved variant of the one used on the ZGMF-X10A Freedom. Mounted in the shields are two M68 dual cannons and two MA-X223E triple beam cannons. A specialized attack of the Abyss includes firing the chest mounted cannon and the two triple beam cannons at once, unleashing a heavy attack on a target.

CIWS

A total of three CIWS guns are mounted on the suit, which include the standard head mounted CIWS of type MMI-GAU25A 20mm, while a single MMI-GAU1717 12.5mm CIWSis mounted at an unknown loaction on the suit.

Torpedo launchers

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, while in mobile armor mode the launchers are facing the rear side of the suit.

System Features

As with the other Second Stage Gundams created by ZAFT, the Abyss is equipped with the new Variable Phase Shift armor, which uses less energy than the old variant. 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.

The Abyss uses the operating system Generation Unrestricted Network Drive Assault Module.

History

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' case this terrain is water, where the suit outperforms all previous underwater models.

The Abyss is initially tested at Armory One by Mare Stroud. 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.

A special ZAFT variant of the Abyss is the ZGMF-X56S/ε Abyss Impulse, which is a modified version of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse with a new Leg Flyer, enabling the Impulse to emulate the function of the Abyss as an amphibious combat unit.
