ZGM

ZGM is a designation prefix most commonly encountered in the Gundam franchise, where it is used to name certain mobile suits developed by the ZAFT faction (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty). In this naming system, models that begin with ZGMF are ZAFT mobile suits and variants that appear across the series, including Gundam SEED and its sequels.

In-universe use, the ZGMF prefix helps distinguish ZAFT-origin equipment from other factions’ designs. Notable examples include the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, a central protagonist unit in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED; the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Infinity, a key mobile suit featured in SEED Destiny; and the ZGMF-X24S Destiny Gundam, another prominent unit within the same storyline. These designations appear across multiple media, including television series, manga, and related video games, reflecting ZAFT’s catalog of mobile suits and their variations.

The letters and numbers in ZGMF-X10A, ZGMF-X19A ∞, and ZGMF-X24S Destiny are part of an in-universe model naming scheme intended to identify each suit and its variant. The precise meanings of individual characters are not consistently defined in official materials, and interpretations can vary among sources.

Outside Gundam, ZGM may be encountered as an acronym in unrelated contexts. This article focuses on the Gundam usage, where ZGMF and its variants constitute a recognizable and recurring designation within the ZAFT mobile-suit lineup.
