Gundam Meister

Gundam Meisters (German for "masters") are pilots in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (and side stories), who are approved by Veda and Celestial Being to operate the mobile units labeled "Gundams". Once selected and approved by Veda, a Meister is assigned to service under the tactical supervision by their coordinators.

Not all Meisters joined Celestial Being under their own will, some were drafted/forced into the organization for their abilities. The organization is tolerant of members of lesser backgrounds for the sake of achieving their goals. Both Krung Thep and Fereshte have Meisters of criminal backgrounds, but were chosen for their exceptional mobile suit piloting skills. All Meisters go through military training and abide by their code of secrecy. Breaking the code of a Meister is considered a severe consequence and is punishable by death. Meisters like Marlene Vlady and Fon Spaak have special explosive neck bracelets that can kill them instantly if they are deemed a necessary sacrifice. By A.D. 2312, the term Meister is a loosely applied term, only still relevant to Celestial Being. All of Innovators themselves are technically Gundam Meisters as all their mobile suits are all technically masked Gundams and accepted by Veda (through forced hacking).

Celestial Being
Celestial Being recruited Gundam Meisters for their armed interventions or development in their Gundams. Most of the recorded Gundam Meisters were recommended by Veda. However, after losing Veda in A.D. 2307, Celestial Being started recruiting pilots themselves, who they deemed are worthy in piloting their machines.
