New Millenium Series

The New Millenium Series is a line of Mobile Suits created by ZAFT by the end of the Bloody Valentine War and used in the Second Bloody Valentine War.

History
ZAFT created the New Millenium Series of MS sometime after the end of the Bloody Valentine War, with the first designs being ZGMF-X999A ZAKU Mass Production Trial Type, the initial design of GOUF Ignited and DOM Trooper Original Spec Type. The ZAKU was chosen over the designs to be ZAFT's next generation mass production MS, but the GOUF was later put into production as a Commander and elite/ace use MS while the DOM was built by Terminal in to the ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper.

Of note with the ZAKU series, several units based on the ZAKU Phantom would serve as a testbeds for experimental weaponry and design features that would be used in later Gundam-type mobile suits. The ZGMF-X101S ZAKU Splendor is used to create the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam, while the ZGMF-X3000Q Providence ZAKU would be developed into the nuclear powered ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam.
