Re: Freeden II - Beam Deflection Field

They were clearly referring to an older version of the official website.
Accessing it via the good old Wayback Machine one can see that on the Freeden II page the device at issue is mentioned with that exact phrasing. Unfortunately, no more info is provided.

Re: Axis, Moussa, and Neo Zeon in the aftermath of the First Neo Zeon War

Well, for the moment I can only provide a reply to the last question.
Zi Zeon (also spelled Zee Zeon or Z-Zeon) is another name of the Z Organization, i.e. the main faction which in Gaia Gear opposes the Man Hunters (aka MAHA or MHA).

Re: Space Attack Carrier Gaw

As far as I can tell, the Gaw (and Dopp as well) is used in space only on the original Tomino novels, which actually are completely settled in space and in any case should be considered as "alternate realities" compared to the anime.

Re: How many Act Zaku were produced?

According to a pair of old online Japanese sources (both apparently referring to the tabletop game Twilight of Zeon), about 20 units were built in total... but of course one should take such a figure with a big grain of salt.
