Calamity is a Gear that appears within the Stalactite Cave in Xenogears.
Description[edit]
Calamity is an automatically functioning Gear that has an artificial brain and no need for a pilot. It was built by Balthasar as a solitary battling Gear to be used against Solaris. Its frame provides a high survivability rate. It is equipped with missile pods that enables it to fight many enemies. In the event of lower power it has been equipped with strong flight rockets. Calamity is similar in appearance to Seibzehn and Achtzehn, Gears created by Balthasar's grandson Nikolai.
Story[edit]
Calamity is encountered by Bart and Fei in the Stalactite Cave. After staying with Balthasar, who lives in the cave and researches fossils, Balthasar looks at Fei's Gear Weltall and calls it the host for the slayer of God. He demands the two leave and when they depart sends Calamity after them. After initially defeating Calamity, Bart is caught off guard by the Gear, which attacks him again. Fei utilizes a special technique with Weltall and destroys it entirely.
