Development and Design

Creation was built from Felix Leo Griffith's combat data as a high-mobility, high-firepower nuclear-powered unit. Its systems imported Felix's operational data from his prior custom Mobile Suit, Dawn, allowing him to operate it with minimal additional adjustment. The Ministry of Defense formally named the completed machine Creation. 149 150

Its third-generation operating system and upgraded quantum computer provide faster processing and response than Felix's earlier Mobile Suits. Creation's rear wings, powerful thrusters, waist-mounted railguns, wing-mounted beam cannons, and anti-beam shield support both high-speed maneuvering and sustained ranged combat. 150 198 271

• Nuclear-powered operation gives Creation exceptional endurance during prolonged high-intensity combat. 150 219
• Phase Shift Armor can be activated before sortie. 150
• The machine can execute Felix's commands immediately through its action library and quantum computer. 235 271
• Its weapons systems are designed for rapidly switching between close combat, precision fire, and full-area bombardment. 150 172

Systems and Armament

Core Armament

Creation's standard weapons package was inspected by Felix during its first activation. 150

• Sirius Beam Rifle — Primary handheld beam weapon.
• Lacerta Beam Sabers — Dual close-combat beam weapons used for rapid draw slashes and finishing strikes. 150 215
• Sailfish Railguns — Waist-mounted electromagnetic cannons firing high-velocity solid shells. 150 193
• Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannons — Wing-mounted beam cannons capable of converging fire on multiple targets. 150 220
• Woodpecker Automatic Vulcan Cannons — Built-in close-range automatic weapons. 150
• Anti-Beam Laminated Armor Shield — Defensive shield used against beam fire and heavy energy attacks. 150 193
• Solid Blade — Physical sword used to destroy Raider Gundam Unit 1's wrecking ball and attack armored targets. 192

Multi-Lock System and Full-Firepower Mode

Creation can acquire numerous targets at once and coordinate its beam rifle, railguns, beam cannons, and support equipment into simultaneous barrages. Felix used the system to clear fighter formations during the Panama operation and repeatedly against Strike Dagger formations on the Moon. 172 175 218

• Can create a dense fire zone by combining Creation's weapons with the Destiny Support Combat Flyer's cannons. 172 175
• Used to destroy groups of Mobile Suits and Mobile Armors during breakthrough operations. 218 272
• Remains effective when paired with Meteor, though that configuration reduces Creation's mobility. 234

Destiny Support Combat Flyer

The Destiny Support Combat Flyer is Creation's detachable auxiliary aircraft. In flight mode, it provides additional thrust; in combat, it operates independently under Felix's control and adds its own weapons to Creation's attacks. Its nuclear reactor can also temporarily replenish power for compatible Mobile Suits through rear-mounted interfaces. 149 150

• Orion Solid Blade — Flyer-mounted physical blade. 150
• High-Output Beam Cannons — Used for direct fire and anti-missile interception. 150 197
• Super Scylla Beast Multiple Phase Energy Cannon — Heavy energy weapon. 150
• Winger-style Machine Cannon — Flyer-mounted automatic weapon. 150
• Can detach from Creation to engage enemies separately, forcing opponents to defend against attacks from multiple directions. 153 197

DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons

Six remote DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons are carried by the Destiny Support Combat Flyer. They operate without tether cables, maneuver independently through Mirage Colloid particle fields, and attack from multiple directions. 150 153

• Disabled Gundam Astray Blue Frame by destroying its leg and arm during the recovery of the Dreadnought Gundam. 153
• Can surround Creation, intercept attackers, and create crossfire against Strike Daggers and Moebius units. 213 219
• The cannons can return to the flyer to recharge after firing. 219
• They are vulnerable to concentrated counterfire; several were destroyed by 105 Dagger wire-guided gun barrels, requiring replacement units from the Athena. 214 218 235

Meteor Equipment

Creation can link with a temporarily assigned Meteor support unit for increased firepower and thrust. The configuration provides a massive beam sword, heavy beam cannons, and additional weapons for attacks against warship formations. 233 234

• Meteor's beam sword can sweep through and destroy more than a dozen Mobile Suits in a single strike. 234
• Its engines enable Creation to reach extremely high speed across the lunar surface and in space. 239
• The added mass lowers Creation's maneuverability against agile 105 Dagger formations. 234
• Felix detached from Meteor during a large-scale Strike Dagger encirclement to restore Creation's mobility; Meteor was subsequently destroyed by enemy fire. 270

Operational History

Creation was completed as ZAFT's first non-test nuclear-powered Mobile Suit and was immediately tested by Felix. He praised its thrust, operating-system responsiveness, and weapon switching speed over Dawn. 149 150

During the mission to recover the stolen Dreadnought Gundam, Creation intercepted Serpent Tail. Felix detached the Destiny Support Combat Flyer, deployed its untethered DRAGOON cannons, crippled Gai Murakumo's Gundam Astray Blue Frame, and forced Serpent Tail's remaining members to surrender. 153 154

Creation later provided decisive firepower during the assault on Panama Spaceport. Felix used its Multi-Lock System, beam weapons, railguns, and support flyer to tear through fighter formations before ZAFT withdrew after sabotaging the facility with Odin's Spear. 172 173 175

At Orb, Creation entered battle against the enhanced-human Gundam units. It disrupted Raider Gundam Unit 1's attack on Freedom, fought through attacks from multiple enemy Gundams, and destroyed Calamity Gundam Unit 2 while forcing Calamity Gundam Unit 1 to retreat. 192 193

On the lunar front, Creation faced specially organized 105 Dagger formations equipped with wire-guided gun barrels. Although the initial engagement destroyed several DRAGOON cannons and placed the machine under pressure, Felix's SEED Burst and gravitational trajectory perception allowed Creation to break the encirclement and eliminate Gusta's special-forces unit. 214 215 217

Creation subsequently led repeated single-unit breakthroughs against Earth Alliance fleets. It destroyed warships, broke through multiple encirclements, eliminated a vanguard flagship, and remained combat-capable through extended engagements that led Earth Alliance commanders to suspect ZAFT had fielded nuclear-powered Mobile Suits. 218 219 220

During later lunar operations, Creation fought hundreds of Strike Daggers employing human-wave tactics. Felix abandoned Meteor to avoid being trapped, then continued evading massed attacks and counterattacking with beam weapons, railguns, and close-combat strikes. 269 270 271 276

Relationships

• Felix Leo Griffith — Primary pilot. Creation was built from Felix's combat data and incorporates data from his time operating Dawn. 149 150
• Destiny Support Combat Flyer — Creation's detachable support craft, additional power source, and carrier for its DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons. 150 153
• Athena — Warship from which Creation regularly sorties and which supplies replacement support units during extended operations. 151 218
• Arnold — Factory director who oversaw Creation's completion and explained its operating system, quantum computer, and support flyer's recharging capability to Felix. 149 150

Trivia

• Felix initially interpreted the name “Creation” as symbolizing the breaking of the old world's shackles to create a new era. 150
• Patrick Zala later considered reallocating Creation to another outstanding pilot after deciding to send Providence to Felix instead. 272
