GN Particles

GN particles (GN粒子, GN Ryoushi) are a type of exotic neutrino released as a byproduct of the GN Drive, capable of disrupting conventional radar and wireless communications with the electromagnetic radiation it expels in the process of decay. The effect is comparable to that of the Minovsky particles in Universal Century. Unlike standard-flavor particles of the same class, it is responsive to an unspecified machine-producible interactive force, thus exploited by Celestial Being for a variety of uses as part of an electromagnetic stealth measure; in a physical barrier system, for use in such circumstances as atmospheric reentry; as a propellant for the GN Vernier; and as a coat that improves the cutting ability of physical blades.

GN Particles are light particles given out by GN Drives. The Gundam with original GN Drives gives out bluish-green particles whereas others such as the Gundam Thrones and the GN-X series mobile suits gives out red GN Particles. GN Particles can cause result in telepathic attributes when one is exposed to a high concentration; Veda humanoid interfaces such as Tieria Erde and the Innovators are confirmed to be able to communicate with each other or connect with Veda through GN particles. Although the link has not yet been firmly established, quantum brain waves used by HRL supersoldiers can be influenced by GN particles. Furthermore, a near-psychic connection can be established with a high concentration of GN particles. Humans exposed to high quantities and/or concentrations of GN particles are known to have developed supernatural capabilities. While ultra high concentrations can hurt and/or kill a human being (Chall Acustica, Ruido Resonance, Marlene Vlady), concentrated particles to a certain extent can stimulate the evolution of quantum brainwaves (Setsuna F. Seiei). The full extent of the physical changes to the human condition is undefined, but those who are exposed can temporarily detect and/or project the thoughts, feelings, and intentions to other people in a limited area of space (from the source of high GN particles as origin point). It's unclear if quantum brainwave evolution a one-time development or capable for anyone through prolong GN particle exposure. Only the power of Trans-Am Riser is capable of creating such a phenomena. When Setsuna F. Seiei activated the Trans-Am system on his 00 Raiser, the concentration was high enough for him and Saji Crossroad to enter a semi-reality mental dimension, where they were able to hear the "voices" of those in the area. High levels of GN particles have also shown regenerative properties that can even reverse cellular damage caused by GN Tau particles, which cannot be treated by any known medical practices. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of GN particles causes human beings to undergo innovation, a transformation from a human into an innovator. Traits gained through innovation include quantum brainwaves and the digital rainbow due glowing eyes that are often attributed to innovators. Just as the GN Tau Drive used by the Gundam Thrones and GN-X models is an imperfect version of the true GN Drive, so are the GN Tau Particles imperfect versions of the true GN Particles. Generated by GN Tau Drives, they share most properties with GN Particles (including radio disruption, use in beam weaponry and propellant applications), but do not allow for enhancement of quantum brainwaves. The particles generated by the Tau Drives in 2308 can cause cellular damage when exposed to high concentrations, which cannot be repaired through 24th-century medical science. Louise Halevy's inability to regenerate her hand was caused by exposure to GN Tau Particles from Nena Trinity and her GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei, and it is possible that her current health conditions also stem from the cellular damage caused by the attack. Eventually, the effects of the Tau particles will become fatal to the victim. However, the effects can be suppressed. Also, the Twin Drive is able to slow and possibly reverse the effects of the Tau particles.

At its core, the GN Particles produced by the Tau Drives are essentially the same as the original's. The main difference in appearance and effects come in the compression rates and the treatment given to them. Since the Tau Drives have electrical consumptions concerns when producing particles, they produced less on average and can afford less on beams. In order to maximize their power, the GN particles undergo a special treatment which greatly improves their efficiency in beam weapons. However, a side effect of prolonged exposure is radiation poisoning when the subject is exposed to high concentrations of the particles - almost exclusively found in beams. The normal emissions of the Tau Drives in 2308 themselves are harmless.

By 2312 the GN Tau Drives have been improved and no longer produce the same hazardous radiation poisoning effects even in beam form.

GN Tau Particles are blood-red and black in color (Gundam Throne, Arche Gundam, GN-X). The GN Particles from the improved GN Drive Tau are orange (Alvaaron, Ahead, Gadessa, etc.).
