Disclaimer: You ever wonder why we are here?
This is not a chapter part of the story, this is an explanation of the origins of the Seeds: the ultra cool AI processors of the members of SD Gundam SEED.
"...great, another class on Gundam SEED," Buster said.
"Like you ever attended the classes..." Duel smirked.
"Hey, I went to class...I just fell asleep."
Knock it off! Now then, when the Coordinators first made the robot GINNs, they only installed a basic AI system into the GINNs, but inserted a more sophisticated one into CGUEs for their commanding units. On the Alliance side, they were doing the same thing with their Daggers, but never made any other kinds of units to command the Daggers. Then, a Coordinator was working with AI systems to keep his dying girlfriend alive in a machine.
Strike started rubbing his chin, "falling in love with a machine? ...That's kinda sick...blood and wires don't mix..."
"Hey," Rouge shoved Strike, "machines can fall in love, don't you think?"
"I'm not getting into the conversation between you and the Commander, sis," Strike replied.
"...Hmph..." Rouge smirked.
Anyways...that Coordinator created a machine program system that hooked up to his girlfriend, and would create a complete readout of her mind, and nervous system. He then had the machine put the new AI chip into a physical form, which came out to looking like a kind of cybernetic seed that could be hooked up to almost any processor.
However, he noticed that the AI did not work, for when he activated it, there was no response. That is until his girlfriend had died, and then the Seed activated, and she was alive inside the GINN that he put her in. Though she would be alive, she concluded that she should ultimately die because she didn't want to live as a machine, and the Coordinator deactivated his girlfriend and then killed himself.
His best friend, however would not let this information go on quite. He sold the information to both the ZAFT and Alliance, which made him both a rich and dead man as well. On both sides, they concluded that Seeds would not activate until the original source would actually die.
"Zzz...zzzz......zzzz...zzz...zzz" Buster snoozing in his desk.
Large anime water droplet behind Duel's head formed, "...then what?"
They said that the "seeds" as they were called, were the physical duplicate of a person's soul, and would not work until the body died and the soul entered the seed. The ZAFT and the Alliance learned of what happened to the Coordinator and his love, and refreshed the programming status of the Seeds. When they duplicated the personalities, they erased certain memories and things that would truly make the Seed that person, thus, making the Seed someone else in a way.
"Wow...interesting..." Aegis added.
So, the Alliance decided that when they finished their new GAT-X robots, they would implant Seeds as the AI's of the GAT-X team. The ZAFT and Orb did the same with several of their units to follow.
"Okay," Aegis interrupted, "so, who do we all come from?"
I'll get to that, Barbie.
"Shut up."
The Alliance used Seeds only in their GAT-X robots, while the ZAFT installed Seeds into their CGUEs and GuAIZs, and their own Gundams. Orb, had Seeds installed in every robot that they made. All the Seeds came from unique sources, and here's the list to help answer any questions that fans of SD Gundam SEED will have. Oh, before I go on, the Seeds that were used in Supreme Commander Providence, Silver GuAIZ, and the Moebius Zero, are all incomplete Seeds: meaning that they are all from the same person, but lack something that the others have; all three come from Rau Le Creuset, but Moebius Zero's has been away from Providence and Silver GuAIZ for so long that his is almost completely different in personality.

"YES!" Regenerate exclaimed, "I am finally getting recognition!!"
"...Me too, though I'm already...dead..." Hyperion added, "well...one of me anyway!!"
Uhh...we haven't gotten to that part of the story, Hyperion.
"Oh...well at least the MSV Crew is getting in this!" Hyperion cheered.
"So..." Dreadnaught added, "when do we actually come into the story?"
Later, okay?
"Just checking," Dreadnaught finished.
So, there they are. Okay, I know some of them are different, and there are units here that you've never seen before, but they'll be in the story soon, okay? Now, about Astray Amatu, she's the Astray Gold, with Blitz's armor upgrade, and with Fllay's Seed, so that creates a minor problem for Strike/Freedom, who has Kira's Seed.

"My armor is not pink! It's a very light red!" Aegis yelled.
"No, your armor is really pink," Providence concluded.
"No!"
"Yea," Silver GuAIZ added, "they have a name for very light red: PINK!"
"True, your armor is pink," Providence said. "It's as pink as your girlfriend's armor!"
"Stop making me feel bad..." Aegis sighed.
Oh, the last thing before I go, where have Freedom, Justice, and the rest of the later gang has been? Well, I might as well explain their origins here.
General Justice: after the freak accident where Commander Aegis was destroyed, the ZAFT captured what was left of his smoldering carcass and, under the watch of Supreme Commander Providence, they designed a replacement unit called Justice. However, one problem was that Commander Aegis' Seed was recovered with his body, and was accidentally transferred to his new body. Still the same person, now with a new body and weapon systems, Aegis accepted the new name Justice, and then was given the rank General by Alliance command. Still harassed about his now, "darker" pink armor.
Captain Freedom: after an accident in which Strike was captured, the ZAFT forces deactivated him and started to construct a new Gundam unit that was to be Strike's successor, called Freedom. After finishing Justice and Freedom, Strike was returned to the GAT-X team, but Strike's Seed was already accidentally transferred to Freedom. Strike hadn't changed much except attaining a new body and identity, Freedom gladly accepted the rank of Captain given by Alliance command.
Lt.'s Calamity, Forbidden, and Raider: the last members of the GAT-X team that have a new style of Phase Armor. These guys are always on a separate group from the rest of the GAT-X team, and tend to always be called to mop-up whatever mess the main GAT-X team created. Though declared to be just as good as the rest of the GAT-X team, these three are addicted to the cybernetic drug known as Duracell 3000, which can enhance their performance for a few hours, but the side effects are painful. Not to mention that the three are very crazy with each other, and would not hesitate to shoot one another in the opportune moment.
Strike Rouge: Lt. Strike's sister who's the girlfriend of Commander Aegis. Like Astray Amatu, Rouge has a female seed, and is very affectionate towards Aegis, but is at times a tom-boy about things. She is not much different from Strike, and can use his Striker Packs as well; the only real difference between the two is her light pink and red armor color.
