Combat Abilities
The CGUE DEEP Arms is based on a standard ZGMF-515 CGUE but replaces the old armament with new experimental beam weaponry. This weaponry includes two JDP8-MSY0270 directed thermal energy cannons, which are mounted on the shoulders. Due to their experimental status however, the cannons run very hot when they are fired. Due to the high energy demand of the cannons, the CGUE DEEP Arms carries an upgraded battery to feed sufficient power to the cannons. In addition to the experimental cannons, the CGUE DEEP Arms also carries a newly designed NOL-Y941 heavy laser sword, a long physical sword with a beam blade edge.
History
After the capture of four Earth Alliance prototype mobile suits, several CGUEs were modified with the new beam weapon technology of the stolen suits. These units were redesignated YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms (with DEEP standing for Directional Energy Emission exPerimental). One CGUE DEEP Arms was piloted by ZAFT ace Shiho Hahnenfuss of the Joule Squadron, who continued to use the suit even after the introduction of the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ rendered it obsolete - this may have been due to her personal connection with the unit as she helped engineer and fine tune the CGUE DEEP Arms' systems to run the energy cannons properly. Among her sorties were a short battle against Lowe Guele in his MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame, as well as the Second Battle of Jachin Due, during which she fought against Rena Imelia in her GAT/A-01E2 Buster Dagger. She later took part in a ZAFT mission shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Junius in South America, to prevent the EA from taking total control of the country. Shiho eventually abandoned the outdated CGUE DEEP Arms in favor for a more advanced ZAKU.
