Revision as of 03:03, 17 April 2020
Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh (aka Gundam Nadleeh, Nadleeh) is a mobile suit featured in season one of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. It is piloted by Tieria Erde.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Behind the masculine bulk of Gundam Virtue lies the slender feminine form of Gundam Nadleeh. To activate Nadleeh, Tieria must utilize his quantum brainwaves to interface with his cockpit to discard Virtue's armor. Nadleeh's "hair" is actually a series of cables which link the suit and the Virtue's armor. When Nadleeh is unleashed in battle from Virtue, it can reach for the GN Cannons to clear the battlefield. It can be equipped with a GN Shield and GN Beam Rifle to function as a stand-alone unit. For melee combat, it has a pair of GN Beam Sabers.
One disadvantage of the suit is its lower than standard particle storage capacity (in contrast to Virtue, which has higher than normal particle storage ability).[1] The most important ability of Nadleeh is its Trial System, a special system that can shut down any Gundam units that go rogue through their link with Veda. However, the system requires an active Veda link, as well as a user that was entrusted with access to it in order to be used. In addition, Nadleeh was also designed to be Virtue's escape mechanism[2], this feature is a further development of the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone and its Core Fighter.
In a situation where a traitor unit suddenly appears, Virtue would retreat back to Ptolemaios or a base before transforming into Nadleeh.[3] While transforming into Nadleeh is simple, doing so on the battlefield is considered dangerous.[3] Despite this however, Virtue has been observed to have transformed into Nadleeh during combat on a minimum of two occasions.[4][5]
Armaments
- GN Beam Rifle
- Derived from GNY-004 Gundam Plutone's, the GN Beam Rifle serves as the primary weapon when Nadleeh is launched as a stand alone unit. While it is far inferior in power than the GN Bazooka, it still has reasonably powerful beam output[6] with the capability of destroying another suit in one to two shots with excellent accuracy. In addition, a beam blade can be emitted from the rifle's barrel for melee combat.[6]
- GN Cannons
- Obtained from Virtue's setup after armor cast off. While it is not as powerful as the GN Bazooka, the fact that is more flexible and dynamic makes it more suitable for fighting a wider range of enemies.[6] Unlike Virtue, Nadleeh uses them with its hands.[6]
- GN Shield
- Another evolution of Plutone's equipment.[6] Although the defense area is smaller than the regular shield, it is also lighter and thus more mobile.[6] It is used alongside the GN Beam Rifle as Nadleeh's stand alone equipment.
- GN Beam Saber
- Two of these weapons are stored in Nadleeh's knees. The GN beam saber is a hilt with the ability to activate a beam blade by generating a positron field filled with GN Particles. While the beam saber has a high power rating, one disadvantage is that its performance can be decreased by surrounding atmospheric conditions or methods of beam diffusion.
Special Equipment & Features
- Usable after the GN Drive's blackbox is unlocked due to the system trap.
- A system that generates an invisible field, shutting down any mobile weapon that's connected to Veda in the field's effective range. It is designed to stop anyone using a GN Drive equipped machine from betraying Celestial Being.
- The Gundams' operating system is linked to Veda, allowing the quantum computer to provide support to the Gundams and their Meisters. When Alejandro Corner gained possession of Veda with help from Ribbons Almark, they used it to intervene in the Gundams' systems, rendering them inoperable.[7] Fortunately, the Ptolemaios team had considered such a probability and had developed a stand-alone operating system beforehand.[7] The switch to this stand-alone operating system restores the Gundams to operating state, but the loss of support from Veda makes piloting the Gundams and completing missions much tougher for the Meisters.[7]

Notes and Trivia
- The name "Nadleeh" comes from the Navajo word meaning "Two-Spirit", a reference to the female figure hidden within the male.
- In the early concept stages, Nadleeh was codenamed "Queen Gundam". The Queen was supposed to be a powerful unit with no blind spots or weaknesses. Its abilities included a strange "psycommu ESP-grasping" ability to graps other mobile units, as well as wireless units that can be used as offensive and defensive weapons. It was not supposed to participate in normal battles, with the exception of the King Gundam being in danger and Queen being summoned from within Rook as a bodyguard. The final Nadleeh inherited its feminine appearance, while the MS grasping ability was modified and formed the Trial System and the wireless units became the Fangs for the Throne Zwei.
- The Gundam Nadleeh shares similarities with the GF13-050NSW Nobel Gundam, both possess a feminine body frame, equipment on the head that resembles "hair", and a special system that enhances their performance.
