Capt. Elsman has sent us the newest report from ZAFT’s super-pilot program: the most recent update gives finalised specifications for the ZGMF-GS128 Onslaught and ZGMF-GN189 Predator Gundams as well as two of the newest prototype Wizard packs for use by NAIOE units.
Photos, by Jess Rabble, are unfortunately not permitted for release until December 10 C.E. 78, at which point Terminal representatives Capt. Waltfeld, Commander Joule and Commander Yamato will announce the date of integration of the Mobile Protectors into the ZAFT military.

No, word as to the release date of the ZGMF-GSN144 Eclipse yet. Commander Yamato claims that the prototype Mobile Suit is being custom built to accommodate a pilot possessing both Newtype and SEED-Factor abilities, so naturally it will be vastly more complicated than even the Predator and Onslaught Gundams.
Thanks again to Captains Elsman and Waltfeld, Commanders Yamato and Joule and PLANT Councilwoman Lacus Clyne for generously allowing us such data on these revolutionary Mobile Suits.
