Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System

The Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System is a system developed by ZAFT before the Second Bloody Valentine War that uses Deuterion technology to allow remote recharging of a mobile suit in moments, exponentially extending a mobile suit's effective operating time. In order to allow remote recharging both the ship and the mobile suits have to have the proper equipment. To date only one ZAFT ship, the Minerva class battleship, and five mobile suits were built with this system, the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam, the ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam, the ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam, the ZGMF-X31S Abyss Gundam, and the ZGMF-X88S Gaia Gundam.

The system was first used on the Impulse when the Minerva was ambushed outside of Orb. In its fight with the YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah the Impulse was damaged and was running critically low on power. So low its Variable Phase Shift armor deactivated. It managed to break away long enough to get close enough to the Minerva to fire a deuterion beam into the receptor unit in the Impulse's head, recharging the damaged mobile suit within seconds.

The system was never used with the stolen Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia units because the Earth Alliance did not have any ships outfitted with a deuterion chamber.
