The Destroy Crisis is a series of conflicts during the Second Alliance-PLANT War, featured in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.
Prelude[]
Following the "Break The World" Incident, Logos leader Lord Djibril, through Atlantic Federation President Joseph Copeland, demanded ZAFT to stand down and be disarmed or be destroyed when evidence showed up that Coordinators were behind the dropping of Junius Seven. Despite PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal begging for calm, OMNI Enforcer forces attacked Aprilius One for the first time since the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Battle of Aprilius One, a battle that proved to be a humiliating loss towards the Earth Alliance.[1]
In response, the Earth Alliance began to subjugate and strong arm the various nations of the Earth into joining them, including the usually-staunchly neutral Orb Union.[2] In response, ZAFT began a campaign of liberation, seeking to free those imprisoned by the Earth Alliance. This lead to ZAFT's popularity on Earth and by Naturals to start growing.[3]
At the same time, a third party began to enter the fray: the Archangel Corps. Following the failed Assassination Attempt of Lacus Clyne,[4] the former Earth Alliance turn Three Ships Alliance members decided to intervene in the growing war to prevent casualties and stop the war from escalating.[5][6][7]
With ZAFT's growing popularity and the actions of the Archangel Corps, Lord Djibril decided that the world needed to see what would happen when they sided with ZAFT. To this end, the Hannibal-class land battleship Bonaparte delivered the GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam to Neo Roanoke's Phantom Pain team. A ZAFT attempt to stop the battleship ended in failure and the gigantic Mobile Suit was delivered and given to Extended Stella Loussier with the express purpose of going on a rampage throughout the Eurasian Federation.[8]
The Crisis[]
Attack on three Eurasian Cities[]
The Destroy, flanked by a GAT-04+AQM/E-A4E1 Jet Windam piloted by Neo and the ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam, piloted by Sting Oakley, were confronted by a fleet of ZAFT suits, lead by a Compton-class and flanked by numerous AMA-953 BABI, AMRF-101C AWACS DINN, TFA-4DE GAZuOOT and TMF/A-802 BuCUE, who attacked it en masse. However, the Destroy's Positron Reflector was able to deflect the shots before she returned fire with its "Aufprall Dreizehn" High-energy Beam Cannon, ravaging the first city in its wake.
Two more cities were ravaged soon after. Despite ZAFT's superior numbers, the Destroy's incredible weaponry and superior defenses made it impossible to even threaten, allowing the massive Mobile Suit to slaughter soldier and civilian indiscriminately. By the third attack on cities, both the Archangel and the LHM-BB01 Minerva had been contacted by Terminal and ZAFT respectively to warn them of this and confront the Mobile Suit.
Battle of Berlin[]
Aftermath[]
The Crisis proved to be an unmitigated disaster for the Earth Alliance. What was supposed to be a campaign of fear to rein Naturals back from supporting ZAFT instead infuriated them further. Durandal further stoked those flames by revealing the existence of Logos, revealing them to be the ones behind this war and the last.[9] These revelations would soon turn people against Logos and ultimately hunt them down.[10]
