Technical and Historical Notes

After producing many mobile suit designs during the first Earth Alliance/ZAFT War of C.E. 70-71, ZAFT introduces the "New Millennium" series mobile suits in the postwar era, starting with the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior. The next mobile suit in the series is the ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited. The prototype version, designated X2000, introduces several new features. Unlike the ZAKU series, the GOUF (Guardian of Unity Forerunner) Ignited does not use interchangeable Wizard packs and is instead equipped with a flight pack that functions in Earth's atmosphere or in space. The GOUF Ignited is armed with a pair of 4-barrel beam guns, a beam sword and a two whip-like heat rod that can deliver electrical shocks. During the developmental phase of the GOUF Ignited, ZAFT produces a close combat variant, the ZGMF-X2000CQGB&S GOUF Crusher. One orange-colored GOUF Ignited prototype is used by FAITH pilot Heine Westenfluss, who is assigned to the battleship Minerva by PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal. Heine is killed in action in a battle at the Dardanelles channel by Stella Loussier's ZGMF-X88S (RGX-03) Gaia Gundam.
