In the anime series Gundam Seed Destiny, ZAFT creates a new series of advanced mobile suits to succeed their previous generation of Gundams, which were all lost in the previous war. Since the Treaty of Junius bans the military use of the Neutron Jammer Canceller, these new Gundams use conventional battery power instead. However, technological improvements over the last two years mean that battery efficiency is improved, and Phase Shift armor is less power intensive than it had once been. To further improve endurance, ZAFT also introduces the new Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System, which allows a properly equipped battleship to remotely recharge a mobile suit's battery.
One of these new suits is the ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam, a transformable unit specializing in space combat. In mobile suit mode, the Chaos Gundam is armed with a large beam rifle, a pair of beam sabers, and several CIWS guns. In addition, it carries a pair of mobile weapon pods, similar to the TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero's gunbarrels but wirelessly controlled, which each contain a beam gun and 12 missiles. The Chaos Gundam could also transfrom into a close combat mode, in which it could use a powerful beam cannon and a set of foot-mounted beam claws.
However, before ZAFT can bring the Chaos Gundam into service, Sting Oakley of the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion steals the mobile suit and escapes with it to the battleship Girty Lue. The Chaos Gundam is later transferred to Earth and operates from the carrier John Paul Jones.
