The Cuttlefish is the first postwar mobile suit produced jointly by the Sydney Naval Research Institute and Indonesian Aerospace, and one of the very first transformable combat frames fielded by PACT. The design is heavily influenced by the Bear-series Assault Frames, notably using the same hardened actuators and optics array as the Red Bear, and features a mix of UNASUR and ASEAN-standard weapons.

The design is the brainchild of Australian aerospace engineer Ciaran Iwan, combining the features and structure of a light space gunship with the flexibility of a mobile suit. Essentially built off of the frame of the Bear-series, the unit was extensively reworked to incorporate a sophisticated movable frame and hardened power systems in order to effectively make use of cutting-edge Flash Fields. Designed for proactive defense and lightning raids, sweeping wings of Cuttlefish would form the spearhead of the pan-ASEAN space fleets in the later 2290's.

With the Red Bear's powerful Flash Field array and the CFR-002 beam rifle fielded on the war-era Cougar, the Cuttlefish is arguably a match for any postwar suit, capable of weathering mega particle beams and attacking units equipped with such weapons with a slight range advantage. It also carries a plasma knife and anti-missile array in order to fend off surprise attacks, but mostly depends on superior armored defenses and evasive ability in order to remain competitive in combat. Few units in the PACT arsenal can match the unit's sheer survivability, although it's not nearly the offensive powerhouse of the famous Ocelot Custom or powerful war-era Black Bear.

The unit shows extensive promise in future conflicts, but has often been described as 'sparse' and overspecialized by military analysts. Still, despite these criticisms, the unit has been widely distributed among ASEAN fleets and is a current mainstay of the Oceanian Colonial Militia.
