The AEU-09Y812 Ali’s AEU Enact Custom was an improved version of the AEU-09 AEU Enact created by Moralia’s PMC Trust, which had a working relationship with the Advanced European Union. The “Y” in its model number indicated that it was a prototype, while the number “812” denoted it as the second machine of the 81st category. The machine had enlarged power receiving antennae on the head and shoulder armor. This increased the suit’s power supply and was done in preparation for equipping of beam weaponry in the future. Upon the request of pilot Ali al-Saachez, the suit’s weight was lowered through armor reduction, resulting in improved mobility. For identification purposes, this prototype machine was colored in blue, a color not used by Moralia’s regular army.
The unit’s main weapon was a blade rifle, which combined the functions of a linear rifle and carbon blade. The carbon blade slid forward when in use, and added side grips allowed the weapon to function as a gun sword. The rifle’s body could also be fitted with other attachments, including a missile launcher that housed four missiles that each contain 14 smaller missiles. The sonic blade/plasma sword was larger than the version on the standard Enact, and as such was mounted externally on the elbow joint. Like the normal Enact, the suit had a 20mm machine gun near the left hip joint. The weapon bays in the forearms and legs, which normally held sonic blades and missiles, respectively, were used for close combat weapons instead; the forearm bays could hold carbon daggers, grenades, smoke shells, adhesive shells, etc., while the leg bays could store long blades, Gatling guns, flamethrowers and napalm shells. In confronting Celestial Being, Ali had an uncomfortable reunion with GN-001 Gundam Exia pilot Setsuna F. Seiei, who previously served as a child soldier fighting for Ali in the Krugis Republic in 2301. The suit was later modified into the AEU-09Y812/A AEU Enact Custom Agrissa Type.
