The SVMS-01X Union Flag Custom II (aka GN Flag), is a GN-technology upgrade variant of Graham Aker's Custom Flag[1] unit in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The unit is piloted by Graham Aker.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The GN Flag is essentially Graham's SVMS-01E Custom Flag[1] that has been hastily fitted with a GN Drive Tau at Graham Aker's request through the influence of Billy Katagiri's uncle, Homer Katagiri.[2] All of the original means of propulsion such as the MPD thruster backpacks have been removed to make room for the GN Drive Tau. The GN Drive Tau does not integrate elegantly with the Flag, and weapons have to be powered via an external wire as the mobile suit was not designed to be used with a GN drive. The GN Flag only has one beam saber, taken from GNW-001 Gundam Throne Eins; this is the only offensive weapon, and is equipped via the aforementioned cable that provides the GN particle feed for the beam saber. Because of the modifications, the unit can't transform into a fighter anymore. One major flaw in this design is the fact that the mobile suit lacks the G-force dampeners that other GN drive-powered suits are equipped with; it's detrimental to the pilot who, in Graham Aker's case, ends up coughing blood while fighting the Gundams. Designed for the single purpose of defeating a Gundam, specifically GN-001 Gundam Exia, the GN Flag is physical representation of Graham's vengeance for his fallen comrades(Howard Manson and Daryl Dodge) and his love for a challenging battle. The unit maybe weaker than a GN-X and the Gundams, but it's formidable against a power-downed Gundam after Trans-Am.
Armaments
GN Beam Saber
The same beam saber taken from Gundam Throne Eins. It is now used as the main armament for the Custom Flag II.
In order to feed GN Particles to the Beam Saber,the Custom Flag II is equipped a cable that provides the GN Particle feed for the Beam Saber.
GN Field
In conjunction to the beam saber and a GN Particle based propulsion system, the Custom Flag II is also possesses the ability to generate a GN Field through a GN Field generator located on its right arm, however because the parts were hastily constructed its stability is unsatisfactory. [3]
History
When thirty GNX-603T GN-X units were delivered to the three power blocks, one belonging to the Union was given to ace Graham Aker. However, having made the promise that he would defeat a Gundam in a Flag, Graham instead requested that a modification be made to his custom Flag. The result was the GN Flag, a hastily-built version of the Flag which nonetheless sported power enough to match the Trans-Am weakened GN-001 Gundam Exia in solo combat. Driven nearly mad by his obsession with the Gundam which had first awed him, Graham's fight with Setsuna resulted in the destruction of the GN Flag and the near-destruction of Exia, tearing off its left arm and gouging out its right eye. In the aftermath, Graham and Setsuna were both believed dead, though both survived the encounter and would meet again on the field of battle four years later.What has happened to the GN Flag remains unknown but it is known the data of GN Flag has been developed for a new unit for Graham/Mr. Bushido,GNX-U02X Masurao.
