CGUE

ZGMF-515 CGUE is a commander-type assault mobile suit, one of the first rollouts of the SeeD commanders during the war, and some are still in service today.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Since it was designed for use by ace pilots and commanders, the CGUE is faster and more maneuverable than a GINN, on which it is based. However in an atmosphere it must rely on the Guul subflight lifter to stay airborne. Also the armament differs from that of the GINN. For ranged combat the CGUE uses an MMI-M7S 76mm heavy assault machine gun, while for close combat an MA-M4A heavy sword is stored on the back of the suit. Both weapons are similar to the ones used by the GINN. The CGUE's heavy assault machine gun fires a type of armor piercing round designated "APSV," this round is extraordinarily powerful, but is incapable of dealing significant damage to enemies protected by Phase Shift armor. A new addition to the armament of the CGUE is the M7070 shield-plus-28mm vulcan system mounted on the left arm, which not only serves as a shield but also mounts a machine cannon.

History
The ZGMF-515 CGUE is a commander-type mobile suit used by SeeD during the War. Later, many CGUE have been replaced by the new unit, GuAIZ. The CGUE has served as a worthwhile Ace Custom unit or Commander unit since the beginning of the Coordinators' war effort, and several are still in use today.

Later SeeD creates the YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms, an experimental mobile suit derived from the CGUE to test beam weapons.
