ZGMF-X56S/θ Destiny Impulse Gundam

ZGMF-X56S/θ Destiny Impulse is a prototype integrated weapon system mobile suit first featured in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny MSV. The unit is piloted by Courtney Heironimus and Mare Strode. It also appeared in Gundam Build Fighters Try, where it was built by Mamoru Izuna and piloted by his brother Shimon Izuna.

Destiny Impulse is a variant of ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam that combines the functions of Impulse's Force, Sword and Blast Silhouette Packs into one, giving it the ability to handle various situations using only one set of equipment. Thus, it can be said to be ZAFT's version of the GAT-X105+P202QX Strike Gundam IWSP and/or GAT-X105+AQM/E-YM1 Perfect Strike Gundam. Destiny Impulse is equipped with θ Destiny Silhouette, which has a new high mobility propulsion system, two MMI-710 "Excalibur" anti-ship laser swords (the same types used on the Sword Silhouette) and two telescopic barrel beam cannons. In addition, the base Impulse Gundam has been modified and is now equipped with two "Flash Edge" beam boomerangs and two beam shield generators, both equipment are mounted on the forearms of the suit. Destiny Impulse retains the modular system of the original but due to modifications made to the MS, it can no longer use other Silhouette packs.

Four units are produced but analysis of the test data shows that higher performance can be obtained if a new MS is build from scratch, rather than using Impulse Gundam as the base unit. This subsequently leads to the development of ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam. One drawback of the design is the additional structural stress placed by the multitude of weapons on the Impulse's body, which is already suffering from structural problem due to the Core Splendor. The wide variety of beam armaments also lead to high power consumption, resulting in the suit requiring on average 2-3 deuterion energy beam transfers per sortie. To make matters worse, the energy transfer system cannot be used too often during combat as the beam received puts additional stress on the machine’s structure. Due to these problems, even if the Destiny Impulse has high performance, it may not be able to fully utilize it. Nevertheless, the suit is still judged to be combat ready and there are records of it being used in combat operations.
