Technical and Historical Notes

During the first Earth Alliance/ZAFT War of C.E. 70-71, the Alliance is slow to introduce mobile suits as replacements for the aging mobile armor TS-MA2 Moebius. Even after the developing their own mobile suits, the Alliance continues to experiment with mobile armor designs, such as the YMAG-X7F Gells-Ghe. The insect-like Gells-Ghe dwarfs the fighter-like Moebius and is operated by three pilots. The Gells-Ghe can walk on the ground with its six legs, which can be retracted for flight. A modified GAT-01 Strike Dagger torso is mounted on the main body, and is armed with two beam rifles. The Gells-Ghe is also armed with two beam cannons, a CIWS gun and an anti-aircraft cannon. In addition to these armaments, the Gells-Ghe is also equipped with a powerful positron deflector shield, capable of blocking a direct shot from a battleship-level positron cannon.

In late C.E. 73, a Gells-Ghe unit is assigned to protect the Alliance's Lohengrin Gate in the Gulnahan ravine near Suez. With is positron deflector shield, the Gells-Ghe protects the Lohengrin and allows it to destroy a ZAFT attack force. In a second attack, Athrun Zala's ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam disables the Gells-Ghe, while Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam destroys the Lohengrin cannon. Months later, several Gells-Ghe units are deployed at the Alliance's Daedalus lunar base to protect the entrance to the powerful Requiem cannon.
