Zau Fong is a character in the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam franchise.

Abilities
Having started out as a test pilot for the Earth Federation's early mobile suits, Zau is skilled in a mobile suit cockpit, particularly with beam and heavy weapons, though he is also skilled with melee attacks, which can possibly be attributed to his martial arts training. Though he can use most types of mobile suits with ease, he is most comfortable with a Federation GM, as he has piloted those since the beginning of his career.

History
The Fong family, originally a Chinese-American family, were one of many who were forced to move out into space colonies. In their case, Side 1.

Zau grew up living a happy life like any other kid. He mostly had it easy until the Principality of Zeon gassed his colony. He was barely able to survive, but was unable to save his parents and friends. Until this moment, he had ignored the war and lived a mostly care-free life. However, this event was what drove him to join the Earth Federation military and fight the Zeon threat.

Seeing the Zakus made Zau interested in mobile suits, and right away, he joined the Earth Federation's test pilot corps, testing out early models of the RGM-79 GM. During this time, he had heard of the Gundam, and how it could destroy a Zaku in one shot. He made it his personal goal to pilot a Gundam one day.

When the GMs were finally rolled out, Zau jumped on the chance to use them. Thanks to his training as a test pilot, he was able to get just enough kills to becme an ace, and the left shoulder of his recently-acquired RGM-79 GM was painted brown. During these events, his team captured a Zaku, which he used occasionally.

Towards the end of the One Year War, Zau was assigned to protect Side 6, and was given a limited-production GM Command Space Type. This was his favorite suit in the One Year War.

Zau fought in A Baoa Qu, where his GM Command was nearly destroyed, and he fought the final moments in his Zaku.

After the end of the One Year War, Zau returned to test piloting. However, he fought during the events of Operation Stardust, and joined the AEUG during the Gryps Conflict.

Mobile Suits
RGM-79(G) GM Ground Type - One of the first mobile suits that Zau ever used. He was one of the initial testers of this suit. It was destroyed in his second battle with it.

RGM-79 GM - After the destruction of his ground type, Zau was given a standard GM. It was with this suit that he gained the number of kills to become an ace, and its left shoulder was painted a sand-colored brown.

RGM-79GS GM Command Space Type - Zau's favorite suit during the One Year War. The parts which are normally red are painted brown, except for the chin. He used this to protect Side 6 during the War in the Pocket . Was used for most of A Baoa Qu, but was heavily damaged.

MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type - A Zeon suit captured by Zau's unit late in the One Year War. It is painted the same shade of brown as his previous GMs, with the pipes painted white, and the torso and top of the head painted black. He used this during the final moments of A Baoa Qu after his GM Command Space Type was nearly destroyed. He continued to use it against the Delaz Fleet during the events of Operation Stardust.
