Combat Coordinator is a genetically enhanced human being introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray.
Overview & Development Process[]
Combat Coordinators are a variant of the standard Coordinator genetic type, specifically created for combat purposes (hence the name). As a result, they have better fighting capabilities than normal Coordinators.
History[]
The Combat Coordinator development program was started by the militaries of the PLANTs-sponsored nations, the predecessor of the Earth Alliance. Some of those behind the program were worried about the abilities of the Coordinators and thought the best way to resolve their worries was to create superior Coordinators of their own.
The first Combat Coordinators were born in C.E. 45 at the Mendel colony.[1] This early batch of Combat Coordinators was subjected to mental conditioning to ensure loyalty to the Naturals. However, the results were not very successful, with at least two known Combat Coordinators, Gai Murakumo and Gud Vair, broke free of the conditioning and escaped from the program. Eventually, submissive genes were discovered and used in the Combat Coordinators and together with the mental conditioning, cumulated in the Socius series, a group of cloned Combat Coordinators who were both loyal to and incapable of harming any Naturals.
The Combat Coordinator program was terminated following the rise of the radical Blue Cosmos and replaced by the Biological CPU program. Besides the Combat Coordinators belonging to the militaries of the PLANTs-sponsored nations and later inherited by the Earth Alliance, there are also Combat Coordinators created by the private sector, such as Suu and Finis Socius, who all do not have the submissive genes, and thus no qualms harming the Naturals.
