See also: Kaiju

Division 954's primary role is the design and creation of Kaiju, super-massive bioengineered creatures made solely for mass destruction. Considered a class of weapons of mass destruction, each creature stands several stories tall and is able to level entire cities while withstanding most conventional fire, to great effect in psychological warfare against enemies. To prevent rampaging kaiju from threatening friendly forces, the have an artificially short lifespan which can be set at months, weeks to even days.

Development Unit
The Development unit sends teams to attain all information about the target, including infrastructure, potential damage caused, time needed to destroy the target, local resistance, local cultural beliefs and more and then sets about designing a Kaiju to deploy to destroy this target. They then work with the Creation Unit to create the latest monster.

Creation Unit
Responsible for the creation of the monsters, the Creation Unit is primarily based in underwater facilities on Teshio and Cheongsu. They genetically engineer new kaiju from the ground up, also genetically programming it with certain behavioural traits and its artificially short lifespan. Kaiju are never "tested", and are seen in the flesh for the first time only when they are hatched and unleashed to attack.

Deployment Unit
The Deployment Unit is responsible for working with other regular or special force Imperial Army units to deploy the Kaiju egg once it is completed. Deployment Unit includes some of the best-trained soldier-scientists capable of holding their own in a fight while still maintaining and protecting the Kaiju egg. Each egg costs billions of yen to generate, so such protection is justified.
