The Haro (ハロ Haro?) are AI-equipped robots used by Celestial Being in the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 series.

Overview[]

Haro is the name of small versatile robots with individual AIs that the paramilitary organization, Celestial Being, utilized for support and maintenance of their ships and mobile suits.[1][2][3] Doing so enabled the organization to operates with minimal personnel in order to preserve its secrecy.[1] Haros have a diameter of 25cm, and they usually dock with larger machines called "Karels" to physically facilitate maintenance and repair works. Haros could also assist in piloting a mobile suit or a support craft, and also serve as data terminals as they are connected to the quantum processing system, Veda. While the Haros have legs and arms, they tend to retract their limbs and move around in their ball form.

The best-known Haro is the orange unit, which was first seen assisting with the controls of the GN-002 Gundam Dynames, while the mobile suit's Gundam Meister, Lockon Stratos, focused on shooting the enemy units. The second Lockon Stratos also used the same orange Haro for similar purpose in the GN-006 Cherudim Gundam. Subsequently, this orange Haro was used alongside another blue Haro to assist the second Lockon in the GN-010 Gundam Zabanya, which has a more complex weapon system. Other prominent Haros include the purple Haro belonging to Team Trinity's Nena Trinity which assisted in the operation of her GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei, the red Haro which aided Saji Crossroad in piloting the support craft GNR-010 0 Raiser, and Hanayo - a special yellow Haro with cat ears-like arm flaps and a tail that is a part of the support team, Fereshte. Hanayo was later revealed to be the alter-ego of Gundam Meister 874.

Nena's purple Haro had a rude personality and was one of the oldest Haros alongside orange Haro.[4] It also contained blueprints of the original GN Drive, which was utilized by the Corner Family to create the GN Drive Taus.[5] The Ptolemaios carried at least 28 Haros, while the amount carried on the Ptolemaios 2 is unknown. In order to prevent data leakage, Celestial Being only created a limited amount of Haros despite the essential duties they performed.

History[]

The exact time point of when the Haro was invented is unknown, however the purple Haro found in the space exploration vessel Europa, and later owned by Team Trinity, and the orange Haro partnering Lockon Stratos were some of the oldest Haros in the organization, having existed since Aeolia's time.[4] Before being given to Team Trinity, the purple Haro was utilized by the treacherous Corner Family to develop the GN Drive Tau as it contained the blueprints of the original GN Drive. Its memory was then erased[4], and as a result, it was unable to recognize the orange Haro when they met later.
