A special forces unit organized by the Earth Alliance that operates under Logos, their official name is the 81st Independent Mobile Battalion (第81独立機動軍) of the Earth Alliance. Phantom Pain is created to provide Blue Cosmos with organized military strength, composed mainly of the best handpicked Alliance personnel and equipment. When goods and staff are requested by Phantom Pain, the EA is expected to respond and accommodate without delay. This allows Phantom Pain to obtain much needed supplies, even though they fall only under the command of Logos and their representatives, and no others. Even with this arrangement, Phantom Pain remains shrouded in mystery among many Earth Alliance leaders.
Funded behind the scenes by the Blue Cosmos and utilizing technology illegal according to the Treaty of Junius, like the Mirage Colloid, their known assets include at least two Mirage Colloid-equipped battleships (such as the Girty Lue), the TS-MA4F Exus, a personalized GAT-04 Windam, the hijacked ZGMF-X24S Chaos, ZGMF-X88S Gaia and ZGMF-X31S Abyss; the RGX-00 Testament, the RGX-04 Proto Saviour, one GFAS-X1 Destroy and its supporting battleship, the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel, the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster, three GAT-X105E Strike E, a GAT-X303AA Rosso Aegis and a GAT-X207SR Nero Blitz (they are supplemented with several squadrons of GAT-04 Windams and GAT-01A2R Slaughter Daggers.
