8

8 is an artificially intelligent computer found by Lowe on a drifting spacecraft and named for the only visible writing on its casing. However, it is not a quantum computer like most of the computers are in the CE era, as it identifies itself as a support operation system. It serves as a co-pilot for Lowe Guele's Astray Red Frame and later Jess Rabble's Astray Out Frame. Jess later returns 8 to Lowe.

Characteristics

8 has the ability to pilot any mobile suit it comes upon. It argues with Lowe about how to upgrade mobile suits and often engage in friendly banter with him. Usually, 8 helps Lowe out during combat by giving suggestions on what decisions are best for him. 8 also warns him when he has a chance of dying. It communicates with people through the words displayed on its screen, and can express its feelings or mood by varying the way the words are shown.

Notes

In the promotional video for Gundam Seed Astray and several video games, 8 is given a voice. However, this contradicts its depiction in the manga, where it can only communicate through text.
