In C.E. 71, the ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam played a critical role in bringing an end to the Bloody Valentine War. Three years later its successor, the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam, served a similar role during the Second Bloody Valentine War. The ∞ Justice Gundam kept the basic design of the original Justice Gundam, although its armaments were upgraded. Also, the ∞ Justice Gundam was powered by the hyper deuterion nuclear reactor technology developed by ZAFT. This new design stored power in deuterion form, providing a continuous deuterion charge and, in theory, an endless power supply. However, it was possible for the suit’s power to be expended before the reactor could replenish it. The base mobile suit was armed with a pair of beam sabers, as well as a pair of dual head and chest vulcan guns. The legs now featured a set of knee-mounted beam blades. Additional armaments included a beam rifle and a beam carry shield, which mounted a Grapple Stinger and beam boomerang. The upgraded Fatum-01 backpack/sub-flight lifter featured a variety of armaments, including a pair of beam cannons and several sets of beam sabers mounted on different parts of the unit. As with the original Justice Gundam, the ∞ Justice Gundam could also dock with the METEOR mobile weapons platform stored aboard the Eternal.

The ∞ Justice Gundam made its debut on the battlefield when Lacus Clyne flew it down to Earth during ZAFT’s attack on the Orb Union, codenamed Operation Fury. In the battle, an injured Athrun Zala used the unit for the first time and fought against former comrade Shinn Asuka’s ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam. When the Three Ships Alliance headed to space to counter ZAFT’s forces, Athrun participated in the final battle over the Moon. During the battle, Athrun defeated Lunamaria Hawke’s ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam, as well as Shinn’s Destiny Gundam. Athrun also used his Fatum-01 to destroy the engines of the battleship Minerva, causing the ship to crash on the Moon. The Fatum-01 was also used to help destroy Requiem, an Earth Alliance doomsday weapon captured by ZAFT. Soon after, the death of PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal and the destruction of the mobile space fortress Messiah marked the end of the war. After the war, the ∞ Justice Gundam was  upgraded and redesignated as the ZGMF-X191M2 Infinite Justice Gundam Type II.
