When it became clear to ZAFT that the ZAKU series was not sufficient to meet wartime combat needs by itself anymore, the GOUF Ignited was put into production to supplement them. It was given a blue paint scheme and designated ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited. One such GOUF Ignited was stolen by Athrun Zala and Meyrin Hawke in their attempt to defect from ZAFT, but they were shot down by Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam. Several GOUF Igniteds and ZAKUs accompanied a trio of Nazca-class ships in pursuing the FFMH-Y101 Eternal after seeing its suspicious movements. Their attacks on the ship were eventually stopped following the appearance of the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam.[6] During the ZAFT's invasion of Orb, a GOUF Ignited was shot down by a MVF-M11C Murasame and landed on top of Yuna Roma Seiran, killing him. A custom white and grey colored unit is later piloted by Yzak Jule during the assault on the Requiem super weapon, and the battles of Daedalus and Messiah.
