Combat Abilities
Since it was designed for use by ace pilots and commanders, the CGUE is faster and more maneuverable than a ZGMF-1017 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 ZAFT during the Bloody Valentine War. The CGUE is the mobile suit of choice of Commander Rau Le Creuset during the first half of the Bloody Valentine War, though after the Gundams are stolen, Commander Creuset usually stays behind on his flagship, the Nazca class destroyer Vesalius.
Another custom colored CGUE is used by Xist Elwes.
Later ZAFT creates the YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms, an experimental mobile suit derived from the CGUE to test beam weapons.
