GN-000 0 Gundam (pronounced Oh-Gundam), is the firstmobile suit to be equipped with a GN Drive in seasons 1-2 ofMobile Suit Gundam 00. It is the original prototype MS that lead to the development of all current Gundams in Celestial Being. The unit was piloted by Ribbons Almark and later byLasse Aeon.

Technology & Combat CharacteristicsEdit

0 Gundam was developed during the Solar Energy Wars 15 - 20 years prior to the revelation of Celestial Being (CB).^[2] The unit is the first prototype mobile suit (MS), created by CB'sKrung Thep engineering team. Being the first generation Gundam, 0 Gundam is highly experimental; it utilizes untested weapons and equipment as a testbed for future MS development. Although a prototype, 0 Gundam was the most advanced MS of its time.

For weapons and combat, 0 Gundam was built and equipped as a general-purpose MS. It has the basic complements for most forms of combat: a Beam Saber, Beam Gun, andGundam Shield. For long-ranged combat, the unit would deploy its gun and shield for shoot-and-block tactics. For close-ranged combat, a beam saber could be pulled directly from its backpack for shield-and-strike tactics.

When first tested, 0 Gundam's experimental GN Drive system produced excessive GN Particles, creating an angelic wing-like effect known as GN Feathers. By releasing large amounts ofGN Particles, together with controlled by the Clavicle Antenna, 0 Gundam can form huge "wings of light." It provides stability to the unit in mid-air while disrupting and jamming enemy radar. The wings of light combined with 0 Gundam's overwhelming power and presence creates a powerful mesmerising effect on those who witness it.^[1]; the wing's enormous output was considered to be too inefficient and was not used in the development of later generation Gundam units.^[1] After additional fine-tuning and modifications, the unit produced GN particles normally, thus the GN Feathers was no longer necessary and removed.

After the completion of the 2nd Generation Gundams, 0 Gundam was put into storage within one of its resource satellites until AD 2312. During AD 2311, CB engineers revisted 0 Gundam and decided to give the unit a systems overhaul and update; 0 Gundam's systems were modernized and upgraded to modern specifications. Because there are limitations to increasing its battle-strength, CB engineers created external power-up components, specifically the Full-Armor system. Because its own GN Drive had been transferred to GN-0000 00 Gundam, it was refitted with a GN particle storage tank. 0 Gundam was also recolored with a red, blue and yellow scheme; the new scheme prompted engineers to give 0 Gundam an extended name: 0 Gundam A.C.D. (ActualCombat Deployment). Although 0 Gundam wasn't used often in combat, 0 Gundam's data and technology would pave the wave in GN Mobile Suit development.

ArmamentsEdit

• Beam Gun

A basic beam gun. Unlike the design of most future beam weapons, it possesses no GN Condensers on it.^[1][3] It instead draws compressed particles directly from the GN Drive.^[1][3]

• Beam Saber

One beam saber is visibly stored at the backpack of 0 Gundam. The beam saber is capable of increasing its beam strength for stronger attacks.

• Gundam Shield

The defensive armament for the 0 Gundam. In order to increase its effectiveness, GN Field properties were added onto the actual shield. This GN Field device is heavier than ones of the later-generation GN Shields, and as such there are instances of the shield being discarded when more focus is needed on speed.^[1][3]

System FeaturesEdit

• GN Feathers

The GN Feathers was an unintended by-product of high particle generation through its drive. 0 Gundam releases large amounts of GN Particles (together with control by the Clavicle Antenna) to form huge wings of light. In addition to midair stability and radar, it can also be used as a defense mechanism.^[4] Due to its inefficiency, the system was not re-used for later generation Gundams.^[1] Because the Type ACD used either a different Large GN Condenser or 00 Gundam's cone as its propulsion unit, this trait was no longer present on it.

• Trans-Am System

Trans-Am wasn't available for the unit during its earlier use due to the system still being locked. It is presumably available to the unit later on after the Type ACD acquired an unlocked GN Drive but the system was not seen to be used.
