Home > ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam
In the anime series Gundam Seed, ZAFT created a series of advanced mobile suits based on technology reverse-engineered from the captured Earth Alliance G Project suits. Like their EA predecessors, the ZAFT Gundams were armed with advanced beam weaponry and protected by Phase Shift armor. However, a additional technology was incorporated as well: the Neutron Jammer Canceller, which counterred the effects of the ubiquitous N-Jammers and allowed these suits to be powered by nuclear reactors. This gave them almost limitless combat endurance, even with Phase Shift armor activated.
One of these suits was the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. It was the second suit in the series, and in addition to its basic armament of beam sabers, head-mounted CIWS guns, and a beam rifle, the Freedom Gundam mounted additional weapons for use in HiMAT (High Mobility Aerial Tactics) mode: shoulder-mounted plasma beam cannons and hip-mounted railguns. However, the suit's most powerful weapon was the optional METEOR (Mobile suit Embedded Tactical EnfORcer) support system , a large mobile weapons platform with powerful thrusters and an even more powerful armament of battleship-calibur beam cannons, large beam swords, and dozens of heavy missile launchers that was designed specifically for the Freedom Gundam and ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam.
Late in CE 71, the Freedom Gundam is stolen by former GAT-X105 Strike Gundam pilot Kira Yamato, with the aid of Lacus Clyne. Kira rushed Earth with his new suit and came to the rescue of the Archangel at the Battle of JOSH-A. Along with the Archangel, he defected to neutral Orb, and fought along side his old friend Athrun ZalaAthrun Zala is a fictional character from the anime series Gundam Seed, 16 years old at the start of the series. He is also a main character in Gundam Seed Destiny, two years later in the timeline of the Cosmic Era universe.

Elements of their design were also used in the construction of the Earth Alliance's Archangel class assault ships, including their extremely powerful arm, and met up with the support vessel EternalGundam space vessels In the anime series Gundam Seed, the Eternal is a space warship in the ZAFT forces designed specifically to support the advanced ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam mobile suits. In addition to hanger space for them,, which had been stolen by Lacus Clyne and her supporters, led by former ZAFT commander Andrew Waltfeld , and which carried both METEOR unit s. Atrhun and Kira used the METEOR s' firepower to thwart an Earth Alliance nuclear missile attack on the PLANTs, and Athrun also destroyed the GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam. Then, on the final day of the war, Kira battled against Rau Le Creuset and his ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam. The Freedom Gundam was severely damaged, but Kira emerged victorious when he impaled Rau's cockpit with his beam saber.
