The masculine bulk of Gundam Virtue hides the slender, feminine form of Gundam Nadleeh within. Designed to serve as Tieria's trump card, Nadleeh is capable of using Virtue's shoulder cannons as hand-held guns, in addition to a spare GN Shield and GN Beam Rifle which are stored inside Ptolemaios in case of an emergency. However, the true power of Nadleeh lies not in a firefight, but in its Trial System, a system which allows it to judge any machine linked to Veda and prosecute the guilty.

The name "Nadleeh" comes from the Navajo word meaning "Two-Spirit", a reference to the female figure hidden within the male.

Combat Characteristics
Featured in Gundam 00V, Gundam Nadleeh Akwos is Gundam Nadleeh equipped with te-A02 AKWOS, trial enhance optional part. These parts give Nadleeh the appearance of a Roman centurion, with additional armor and a helmet in place of its hair. Several blade antenna are attached to it's joints and toes. Its main weapon is the GN Mask Sword, a large solid blade that looks like a Gundam face with its V-fin joined together to form the long blade. This sword can be attached to Nadleeh's shield, and be can split into a large V-fin antenna in order to disperse massive amounts of GN particles. This configuration greatly improves the effectiveness of Nadleeh's Trial System. Despite the benefits, the Akwos armor is attached directly to Nadleeh, meaning that Virtue cannot be used. Since Virtue's heavy firepower is needed this equipment is rarely used.

GN Beam Rifle
Designed specificly for the Nadleeh, as opposed to the weaponry of the Virtue when repurposed, the GN Beam Rifle serves as the primary weapon when forced to launch without the Virtue armor and weapons. In terms of performance, the weapon fires at a slower rate than other beam rifle weapons of the other Gundams, due to the mobile suits lower GN Particle storage capacity. However, it is still easily capable of destroying another suit in one to two shots with excellent accuracy. Because of the Rifles size, and the time it takes to draw a Beam Saber, the rifle can emit a Beam bayonet from the barrel for melee combat. The long barrel gives Nadleeh an advantage over other mobile suits with the extra range over normal mobile suits, but relies on the shield for blocking if the opposing beam is not intercepted.

GN Beam Saber
Nadleeh is armed with two swords, assumed to be comparable in functionality with that of the Exia's standard-length beam sabers, which are stored in the knees when not in use.

GN Shield
The GN Shield offers an efficient means of protection for Nadleeh, as it's main weakness is it's low particle storage capacity compared to the Virtue. As a result, it cannot use a GN field and must remain mobile, as the mobile suits armor is weaker compared to the other Gundams and easy to breach.

Trial System
Tieria, Veda, and Gundam Nadleeh form a unique bond that emits energy waves which can disable nearby mobile suits linked to Veda. This system is Nadleeh's reason for being; if contact with Veda is cut off, Trial deactivates immediately.
