Gundam Meister

Three Gundam Meisters from event of 00P

Gundam Meisters (ガンダムマイスター, Gandamumaisutā^?) (German for "masters") are pilots in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (and side stories), who are chosen 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 of their coordinators.

Not all Meisters joined Celestial Being by 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 crime 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 (Gundam 00 Season 2), the term Meister is a loosely applied term, only still relevant to Celestial Being.
