Librarian Works is a mysterious paramilitary organization appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED VS Astray.
History
Exactly how or when the Librarian Works organization was formed is unknown but they appeared some time after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. In Cosmic Era 75, the group launches simultaneous attacks against Lowe Guele of the Junk Guild and Rondo Mina Sahaku of the Orb Union. In addition, they also target multiple Earth Alliance bases all across the globe as well as the PLANTS. They only act according to their own unique set of values, and their goal is to start a Third Bloody Valentine War and overthrow ZAFT, Orb Union and the Earth Alliance using Carbon Human Clones. This is due to the belief that Cagalli Yula Athha of the Orb Union and Lacus Clyne of the PLANTs are inexperienced and therefore not capable of ruling the Earth Sphere.
Their scale as an organization is unclear, but they have data on all Mobile Suits developed to date, and detailed data on ace pilots, up to an including genetic material. Using this data, they strengthen and redesign existing MS for their own use and create Carbon Humans of the most highly skilled pilots - mostly, but not exclusively, of aces who were killed in battle. Because they possess data even beyond military levels, they have several MS which have been improved beyond what the major military powers of the Earth Sphere are capable of, making them potentially superior to even Coordinators. The organization's headquarters is located on an asteroid.
Members
ND HE (NO DATA HIGH ERROR)
ND HE (an acronym for No Data-High Error) is a Librarian pilot in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED vs Astray. A carbon human created to facilitate the organization's activities, his true identity is originally unknown due to the full-face mask he always wears, but his combat ability and piloting senses are exceptional, leaving no doubt that he must have a connection with some ace pilot of repute. During a battle with Rondo Gina Sahaku, the mask is shattered and ND-HE is shown to be a Carbon Human clone of Serpent Tail pilot Gai Murakumo, making him the only Carbon Human clone of a living pilot. Pilots LG-GAT-X105 Gale Strike Gundam.
