:As the 0 Gundam was fitted with an original GN Drive, it could theoretically use the Trans-Am System to release all of its GN Particles and triple its performance. However, this system was locked until the events of 2308 AD, when Aeolia Schenberg died and triggered the system trap to unlock it. Even then, the suit did not have a chance to use it as its GN Drive was used by other Gundams of the Fereshte, and the 0 Gundam did not see combat until it became the Type A.C.D. The system was also not used when the Type A.C.D. was fitted with a GN Drive from 00 Gundam.

:As the 0 Gundam was fitted with an original GN Drive, it could theoretically use the Trans-Am System to release all of its compressed high-density GN particles, enhancing its thrust and defensive capabilities as well as allowing it to perform at three times its normal output for a limited time. However, this system was hidden until 2308 AD, when Aeolia Schenberg was killed by a betrayer, triggering the system trap to reveal it. Even then, the suit did not have a chance to use it as its GN Drive was used by other Gundams of the Fereshte, and the 0 Gundam did not see combat until it became the Type A.C.D.

:The operating system of the Gundams is linked to [[Veda]], allowing the quantum computer to provide support to the Gundams and their pilots. As suggested by [[Ian Vashti]], Fereshte severed their links to Veda when it is evident that Celestial Being's plans were being compromised, and [[Sherilyn Hyde]] replaced the Veda-linked Operating System used in Fereshte's Gundams with a copy of the Ptolemaios team's stand-alone operation system.<ref name="00F-6">[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00F]] Chapter 6</ref> Without support from Veda, piloting the Gundams and completing missions will be tougher for the pilots.{{ref|G00|21}}
−
:An advanced network operating system that monitors and coordinates combat data with [[Veda]] to support its pilot(s) and ensure success during missions. However, due to the rogue actions of its former pilot, [[Ribbons Almark]], taking over Veda, Celestial Being programmers loaded all their mobile suits with a stand-alone system to prevent the enemy from further harming Celestial Being. Without Veda's support, control of the suit now rely more on pilot's skills.

===Intervention in Republic of Krugis===
 
The 0 Gundam was conducting an armed intervention test in the Republic of Krugis in 2301 AD. The pilot of 0 Gundam, [[Ribbons Almark]], was supposed to kill all the combatants in the area; however, upon upon seeing the awed young Soran Ebrahim (who would grow up to be [[Setsuna F. Seiei]]), Ribbons perceives the boy's look to be one of utter admiration and worship, and lets him live. Afterwards, he went and tampered with Veda's files (something [[Tieria Erde]] would eventually pick up on) to recommend Soran as Exia's Gundam Meister. He would later refer to it as a "momentary impulse... but also a sort of mercy."

0 Gundam appeared in the 00P side story, but it wasn't stated who piloted it. It was stated that 0 Gundam carried away the helpless [[GNY-001 Gundam Astraea]] in the aftermath of the unfortunate Plutone Incident. It was also mentioned that [[Grave Violento]] sortied in the [[GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel]] alongside 0 Gundam and its unknown pilot.

During their missions, Fereshte encountered the Gundam Throne Meisters who tried to claim 0 Gundam's GN Drive. Claiming that it was orders from [[Veda]], they demanded Fereshte to stand down their operation and relinquish control of their only true GN Drive. [[Fon Spaak]] used the Gundam Plutone to resist the Trinity's attempt. Upon being informed of Fon's disobedience by [[Johann Trinity]], Veda detonated Fon's explosive collar. Fon would have died of internal bleeding, save for the intervention of [[Hanayo]] who took remote control of Gundam Plutone. She scuttled the mobile suit's body and escaped with the GN Drive and Fob in Plutone's core fighter. The GN Drive was later transferred to one of Celestial Being's resource satellites for maintenance.

===Twin Drive Testing===

Ian had tested multiple combinations of GN Drives for the 0 Gundam's ''[[Twin Drive System]]'', but with little success. He hoped that the combination of Exia's and 0 Gundam's GN Drives would fare better. When Exia returned to [[Celestial Being]], compatibility tests resumed with only a 73% (needs to be 80%) synchronization rate. When [[A-Laws]] attacked Ptolemy II, Setsuna risked [[Trans-Am]] in attempt to level out the synchronization of 00. He managed to synchronize the ''Twin Drive System'' at 87% and defeated [[A-Laws]] opposition. Without its GN Drive, the 0 Gundam was placed in indefinite storage.

===Return to Battle===
  
===Return to Battle===
−
The 0 Gundam was eventually moved to another Celestial Being resource satellite at Lagrange 5. With the war against the A-Laws and the Innovators building to a climax, Celestial Being rallied every mobile suit in their arsenal, including 0 Gundam. Without a GN Drive, [[Linda Vashti]] and her engineers retrofitted it with a GN Particle Tank. The 0 Gundam was also given a new paint job. Lasse later sortied in the 0 Gundam, to protect the Ptolemy crew and Gundam Meisters from the kamikaze attacks of the Innovator's [[Gaga Forces]]. Despite a valiant effort, Lasse depleted 0 Gundam's particle supply, forcing him to abandon the mobile suit. Due to Ptolemaois II movements, 0 Gundam drifted out of the hanger until Ribbons, in his damaged Reborns Gundam, found it and fitted Exia's original GN Drive onto the 0 Gundam, which he had stolen earlier from 00 Raiser. Ribbons then boarded the 0 Gundam to engage Setsuna and his Gundam Exia Repair II (which, coincidentally, was using 0 Gundam's original GN Drive). 0 Gundam was ultimately defeated in the final confrontation, and its GN Drive was destroyed; Ribbons fate is unknown. It's unclear if 0 Gundam was ever recovered and restored.

Revision as of 23:49, 2 February 2020

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The GN-000 0 Gundam (pronounced Oh-Gundam) is the first GN Drive equipped mobile suit in the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 series. It was piloted by Ribbons Almark and later by Lasse Aeon.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The 0 Gundam was a general-purpose mobile suit developed during the Solar Power Wars, 15 – 20 years prior to the revelation of Celestial Being.[1][2] The first Gundam created by Celestial Being, it was also known as the first generation machine.[2][3][4] Data obtained from it was used in creating the second generation Gundams such as the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea.[4] Unknownst to the organization, the 0 Gundam's data was copied by Ribbons Almark and the Corner Family, who later used it to create the GNW-Throne series.[5] Although Ribbons was once the 0 Gundam's pilot, he was not its official Gundam Meister as the suit did not switch its rollout color scheme (white, grey and yellow) to a custom one, a standard procedure whenever a Gundam has an official Meister.[4]

The 0 Gundam established the basic concepts and systems for later Gundams.[2][4][6] This included the use of the GN Drive as the main engine unit, use of the GN Drive's high output to drive beam weapons, presence of clavicle antennae on the torso for controlling GN Particles, and head-mounted v-fin antenna as well as twin eye camera.[4][6][7][8] Compared to later Gundams, the GN Drive’s cone on the 0 Gundam’s back was not only of a different design, it was also larger and protruded out more as the drive's ancillary/support systems were yet to be minaturized.[7][8] In terms of armaments, the suit has a Beam Saber, Beam Gun, and Gundam Shield for close to mid-range combat.[3][4][7]

During the Celestial Being's armed intervention in 2307-2308 AD, the 0 Gundam was with the shadow support organization, Fereshte, who usually took out its GN Drive to power their Gundams.[2][3] Fereshte eventually merged with the reborn Celestial Being, bringing the 0 Gundam along.[2][9] The 0 Gundam's GN Drive was then removed and used in powering the GN-0000 00 Gundam, while the suit itself was stored in one of Celestial Being's resource satellites.[3] The suit was later pulled out of storage for combat deployment during the final battle with the Innovators.[3][10]

Since there was no GN Drive left to power it, the 0 Gundam was fitted with a large GN Condenser (also known as GN Particle Tank) that gave it limited operational time.[3][10] It also had a new color scheme of red, blue and yellow, and was renamed as '0 Gundam (Type A.C.D.)' (Actual Combat Deployment) to differentiate it from its original form.[3][10] This version uses the same armament as the original's.[3] Later in the battle, the 0 Gundam (Type A.C.D) was abandoned by the backup Gundam Meister Lasse Aeon after its particle reserves were depleted.[11] It was then found by Ribbons, who reactivated the Gundam one last time using a GN Drive he had cut off from the 00 Gundam.[12]

Armaments

  • Beam Gun
A handheld gun for mid-range combat, it fires compressed GN Particles as beams and is capable of rapid fire.[3][4][7] Unlike current beam weapons, this early model weapon possesses no internal GN Condensers, instead it draws energy directly from the 0 Gundam.[3][4] Despite this, its firepower is comparable to current beam weapons, and its small size makes it easy to handle.[3][4][8]
  • Beam Saber
A handheld close combat weapon that emits a beam blade made of GN Particles, it is stored on the right side of 0 Gundam's backpack.[3][4][7] Its name does not have the 'GN' label in front to mark it out as a prototype weapon.[3][4] The power of the beam blade can be increased by the pilot.[12]
  • Gundam Shield
A handheld defensive armament, it is made of E-Carbon and can generate a GN Field on its surface to increase its effectiveness.[3][4][8][7] Its GN Field device is larger and heavier than ones in current GN Shields, and as such, there are instances of the shield being discarded when the focus is on speed.[3][4][12]

Special Equipment & Features

  • GN Feathers
0 Gundam can release large amounts of GN Particles which, when controlled by the two clavicle antennae on the chest, form a huge angelic wing-like effect.[4] The GN Feathers have multiple functions; it can be used in attitude control where it helps to improve the suit's mid-air stability, for jamming radar, and as a means of defence as the dense particle cloud can also disrupt enemies' attacks.[4][7][9] The visual presence of the GN Feathers also create a powerful psychological effect on those who witnessed it.[4] For the effects that it achieved, this experimental feature was deemed to consume too much GN particles, and was not used in later Gundams.[4] Used only by the original 0 Gundam.
As the 0 Gundam was fitted with an original GN Drive, it could theoretically use the Trans-Am System to release all of its compressed high-density GN particles, enhancing its thrust and defensive capabilities as well as allowing it to perform at three times its normal output for a limited time. However, this system was hidden until 2308 AD, when Aeolia Schenberg was killed by a betrayer, triggering the system trap to reveal it. Even then, the suit did not have a chance to use it as its GN Drive was used by other Gundams of the Fereshte, and the 0 Gundam did not see combat until it became the Type A.C.D. The system was also not used when the Type A.C.D. was fitted with a GN Drive from 00 Gundam.
The operating system of the Gundams is linked to Veda, allowing the quantum computer to provide support to the Gundams and their pilots. As suggested by Ian Vashti, Fereshte severed their links to Veda when it is evident that Celestial Being's plans were being compromised, and Sherilyn Hyde replaced the Veda-linked Operating System used in Fereshte's Gundams with a copy of the Ptolemaios team's stand-alone operation system.[13] Without support from Veda, piloting the Gundams and completing missions will be tougher for the pilots.[14]

Variants

History

Gundam 00P Season 1

The 0 Gundam was activated to help GNY-002 Gundam Sadalsuud recover the latter's fellow Second Generation Gundams after an incident during the operation to stop a terrorist attack on HRL's Orbital Elevator, which was still under construction. Pilot of the 0 Gundam was unknown.

Intervention in Republic of Krugis

The 0 Gundam was conducting an armed intervention test in the Republic of Krugis in 2301 AD. The pilot of 0 Gundam, Ribbons Almark, was supposed to kill all the combatants in the area; however, upon upon seeing the awed young Soran Ebrahim (who would grow up to be Setsuna F. Seiei), Ribbons perceives the boy's look to be one of utter admiration and worship, and lets him live. Afterwards, he went and tampered with Veda's files (something Tieria Erde would eventually pick up on) to recommend Soran as Exia's Gundam Meister. He would later refer to it as a "momentary impulse... but also a sort of mercy."

Gundam 00P Season 2

2302 AD. 0 Gundam assisted in a flight test of the GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel. Pilot of the 0 Gundam was unknown.

Fereshte Exchange

Shadow Interventions

Together with the four second generation Gundams, 0 Gundam was also transferred to the Fereshte - a shadow group supporting the Ptolemy group. During operations, Fereshte would remove the 0 Gundam's GN Drive, their sole GN Drive, and placed it in the selected second generation Gundam.

Resisting Team Trinity

During their missions, Fereshte encountered the Gundam Throne Meisters who tried to claim 0 Gundam's GN Drive. Claiming that it was orders from Veda, they demanded Fereshte to stand down their operation and relinquish control of their only true GN Drive. Fon Spaak used the Gundam Plutone to resist the Trinity's attempt. Upon being informed of Fon's disobedience by Johann Trinity, Veda detonated Fon's explosive collar. Fon would have died of internal bleeding, save for the intervention of Hanayo who took remote control of Gundam Plutone. She scuttled the mobile suit's body and escaped with the GN Drive and Fon in Plutone's core fighter.

Four Years Later

Nearly four years after "Operation Fallen Angels", Celestial Being was reborn.[15] Wang Liu Mei and Hong Long visited one of Celestial Being's secret asteroid bases to see the recent developments. She wanted to see the first Gundam and Ian Vashti opened the container for her to see 0 Gundam. Ian Vashti commented that 0 Gundam's GN Drive was removed and placed into 00 Gundam for testing.

Twin Drive Testing

Ian had tested multiple combinations of GN Drives for the 0 Gundam's Twin Drive System, but with little success. He hoped that the combination of Exia's and 0 Gundam's GN Drives would fare better. When Exia returned to Celestial Being as Exia Repair, compatibility tests resumed with only a 73% (needs to be 80%) synchronization rate. When A-Laws attacked Ptolemy II, Setsuna risked Trans-Am in attempt to level out the synchronization of 00. He managed to synchronize the Twin Drive System at 87% and defeated A-Laws opposition. Without its GN Drive, the 0 Gundam was placed in storage.

Return to Battle

The 0 Gundam was eventually moved to another Celestial Being resource satellite at Lagrange 5. With the war against the A-Laws and the Innovators building to a climax, Celestial Being rallied every mobile suit they had, including the 0 Gundam. Without a GN Drive, Linda Vashti and her engineers retrofitted it with a GN Particle Tank. The 0 Gundam was also given a new paint job. Lasse later sortied in the 0 Gundam, to protect the Ptolemy crew and Gundam Meisters from the kamikaze attacks of the Innovator's Gaga Forces.

Despite a valiant effort, Lasse depleted 0 Gundam's particle supply, forcing him to abandon the mobile suit. Due to Ptolemaois II movements, 0 Gundam drifted out of the hanger until Ribbons, in his damaged Reborns Gundam, found it and fitted Exia's original GN Drive onto the 0 Gundam, which he had stolen earlier from 00 Raiser. Ribbons then boarded the 0 Gundam to engage Setsuna and his Gundam Exia Repair II (which, coincidentally, was using 0 Gundam's original GN Drive). 0 Gundam was defeated in the final confrontation and its GN Drive was destroyed. The fate of the 0 Gundam and Ribbons after the battle is unknown.
