Technical and Historical Notes
Following the first war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, the Junius Treaty places restrictions on the mobile suit forces of both sides. With a new focus placed on quality over quantity, ZAFT develops a "New Millennium" series of mobile suits such as the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior and the ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom. Whereas the ZAKU Warrior is meant for the average pilot, the ZAKU Phantom is reserved for aces and commanders. The ZAKU Phantom is equipped with two spiked shields, each of which houses a beam tomahawk. The ZAKU Phantom is also armed with four grenades and a beam rifle, but its armament can be further specialized through the use of interchangeable Wizard packs. These Wizard packs are also compatible with the ZAKU Warrior. Like the ZAKU Warrior, many ZAKU Phantoms feature custom paint jobs by their respective pilots.
