Technical
and Historical Notes
ZAFT's ZGMF-515
CGUE is an improved version of their standard ZGMF-1017
GINN and is designed for use by commanders and ace pilots
such as Rau Le Creuset. The CGUE is faster and more maneuverable
than a standard GINN, and their
armament differs somewhat. The CGUE is armed with a heavy
assault machine gun and heavy sword similar to that of the GINN,
but it can also be equipped with a combination shield and
vulcan gun system on its left arm. In addition to the standard CGUE, ZAFT also creates the experimental design YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms. During the war, one unit
is used by ace pilot Rau in many duels with famous enemy ace
Mu La Flaga. However, after the attack on Heliopolis, Rau
usually stays behind on the battleship Vesalius and lets his subordinates
do most of the fighting with their four stolen Gundams.
