During the Bloody Valentine War, the Earth Alliance was slow to introduce mobile suits as replacements for the aging mobile armor TS-MA2 Moebius. Even after developing their own mobile suits, the Alliance continued to experiment with mobile armor designs, such as the YMAG-X7F Gells-Ghe. The insect-like Gells-Ghe dwarfed the fighter-like Moebius and was operated by three pilots. The Gells-Ghe could walk on the ground with its six legs, which could be retracted for flight. A modified GAT-01 Strike Dagger torso was mounted on the main body and armed with two beam rifles. The Gells-Ghe was also armed with two beam cannons, a CIWS gun and an anti-aircraft cannon. In addition to these armaments, the Gells-Ghe was 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 was assigned to protect the Alliance’s Lohengrin Gate in the Gulnahan ravine near Suez. With its positron deflector shield, the Gells-Ghe protected the Lohengrin and allowed it to destroy a ZAFT attack force. In a second attack, Athrun Zala’s ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam disabled the Gells-Ghe, while Shinn Asuka’s ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam destroyed the Lohengrin cannon. Months later, several Gells-Ghe units were deployed at the Alliance’s Daedalus lunar base to protect the entrance to the powerful Requiem cannon.
