Celestial Being
In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the term Gundam is the generic designation of a line of unique and highly effective mobile weapons developed by the paramilitary organization Celestial Being.

As of the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P, the GN-000 O Gundam is the only known 1st-generation suit within the Gundam line, and only five completed GN Drives are stated to exist. However, ten 2nd-generation prototype suits are said to have been planned, each named after one of the twenty-two Major Arcana in the Tarot, with the five completed GN Drives transferred from one unit to another. Celestial Being has, to this point, deployed eight 3rd-generation Gundams at different points in the series proper (Exia, Dynames, Kyrios, Nadleeh/Virtue, Rasiel, Cherudim, Arios, & Seravee/Seraphim), and only one 4th-generation Gundam exists thus far (GN-0000 00 Gundam). Professor Ralph Aifman has speculated that the Gundams are roughly a decade or two more advanced than Union mobile suits as of 2307. For unspecified reasons, the Gundams cannot be tomographically sectioned.

GN-000 0 Gundam

 * Pilot: Ribbons Almark

The first Gundam created and the first mobile suit to be powered by a GN Drive, which intervened during a battle in the Kurdish Republic in AD 2301. Its GN particle release pattern resembles a pair of very large wings. It is otherwise similar in appearance to the original RX-78-2 Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam, and is known to have been built by Celestial Being as a prototype for the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea, which was in turn a prototype for the GN-001 Exia. The only known armaments are a shield, beam rifle, and beam saber. The novels accompanying the series as well as episode 14 of the second season of the anime state that Ribbons was the pilot. It is seen in the first episode of season 1. The GN-Drive of the 0 Gundam is currently used by the GN-0000 00 Gundam, Celestial Being's first-ever 4th-Generation Gundam. It is the only mecha in the series thus far designed by Kunio Okawara. Okawara has designed the majority of the Gundam-type suits in the Gundam meta-series since 0079.

GNY-001 Gundam Astraea
Appears in the side-story Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. This unit is a prototype version of the GN-001 Gundam Exia. It is armed with a GN Beam Rifle, a GN Shield, two GN Beam Sabers, and the GN Double Launcher, a prototype of the Virtue's GN Bazooka

The unit name derives from the goddess Astraea, who is associated with the card Justice -- one of the twenty-two Major Arcana in the Tarot. The other Gundam test-types follow this naming theme.

GNY-001F Gundam Astraea (Type-F)
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00F, set 15 years after 00P, as one of Fereshte Gundams. Its color scheme has been altered to red with grey highlights, and the face has been covered with a visor mask to conceal its identity as a Gundam.

GNY-001F Gundam Astraea (Type F2)
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00F, set 15 years after 00P, as one of Fereshte Gundams. It is very similar to the Gundam Astraea Type F, save that some of the armor has been changed to look more akin to Gundam Exia. Its arnament remains the same as the one used in Gundam Astraea and Gundam Astraea Type-F.

GNY-002 Gundam Sadalsuud
A prototype to the Dynames, which appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P.

Sadalsuud (سعد السعود lit: luck of lucks?), also known as Beta Aquarii, is the brightest star in the constellation Aquarius, which is associated with the image of the water bearer. The same image appears upon the face of the card The Star -- one of the twenty-two Major Arcana in the Tarot.

GNY-002F Gundam Sadalsuud (Type-F)
As of the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00F, the redesignated Sadalsuud (Type-F) has undergone significant armor upgrades, but not to such a degree that the effectiveness of its sensor system is compromised.

GNY-003 Gundam Abulhool
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. Not much is known about this Gundam, except that it has the ability to transform between flight mode and mobile suit mode similar to Kyrios. Its weapon loadout include GN vulcans and two 3-tube, nine round GN missile launchers.

GNY-003F Gundam Abulhool (Type-F)
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00F as one of Fereshte's Gundams. In flight mode it can use plasma engines instead of GN particles to conceal it being a Gundam

GNY-004 Gundam Plutone
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P and Mobile Suit Gundam 00F. The Gundam Plutone has a Core Fighter inside that is connected to the cockpit and the GN Drive to use as an escape unit. The unit name derives from the god Pluto, who is associated with the card Judgement -- one of the twenty-two Major arcana in the Tarot. Gundam Plutone is supposed to be equipped with the Trial System but was removed and given to Gundam Nadleeh.

The Plutone was later destroyed, having sustained heavy damage at the hands of Micheal Trinity's GNW-002 Throne Zwei. Fon Spaak activated the Plutone's self destruct mechanism and escaped using it's Core fighter.

GN-001 Gundam Exia
The protagonist unit of the first season of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00, piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei. Designed for melee combat, The Exia's primary weapon is a massive blade with a miniature forearm shield called the GN Sword mounted on its right forearm which can be folded down to reveal a beam gun stored behind the blade. The GN Sword is complimented by a pair of handheld swords called the GN Long and Short Blade which are stored on the hips when not in use as well as four other beam blades; two sabers mounted behind either shoulder and two beam daggers mounted behind the waist. Finally, the Exia's arsenal is rounded out by a GN Shield as well as a GN vulcan cannon built into its forearms. When Trans-AM mode is activated, it boosts Exia's specs to 300%, the acceleration causes afterimages to appear. The name Exia is derived from exousia, the Koine Greek for authority.

In the 2007 Super GT season, Gundam Exia's coloring scheme was used by Toyota Team Kraft's SC430 (#35, GT500 class), which Bandai is their main sponsor. The car is used as promotion of Gundam 00 since race 5 (about two months before the first series airing). The colouring scheme is also designed by Kanetake Ebikawa, with both the Gundam 00 (printed on spoiler) and the Celestial Being (printed on top) logo are present.[3] Bandai had produced its model kit in the end of the season. This was the third car involving animation styles in Super GT history (followed by Speed Racer and Toy Story). The scheme was abandoned after the season.

GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche-Exia
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The Exia can be equipped with the optional high-mobility equipment hs-A01 Avalanche. Though the GN particle propulsion system native to the Exia allows for relatively high speed and acceleration, the unit is actually incapable of matching or exceeding certain aircrafts and spacecrafts in flight The Avalanche was developed for the purpose of eliminating this issue. The equipment consists of a series of large-capacity GN particle condenser attachments, which act to store the particle production of the GN drive for release in a single 10-minute burst of ultra-high speed. Higher output is possible, but the strain it places on the body of the pilot becomes severe. As the condensers require a full hour to charge, repeated use of the burst function in a short amount of time is impossible. The standard Seven Swords armaments can be mounted behind the Avalanche equipment, and quickly deployed for use. The "Avalanche" is so named because its power supposedly engulf everything completely in its path, like a real avalanche. The "hs" stands for "high speed" and "A01" stands for "Avalanche Unit-01."

GN-002 Gundam Dynames
One of the protagonist units of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The Dynames main weapon is the GN Sniper Rifle, a long-barreled beam rifle which is used during standard sniping missions. For close combat, the Dynames has a pair of GN Beam Pistols mounted on its lower legs as well as two GN Beam Sabers stored at either side of the movable rear thrusters. For higher accuracy in targeting, the unit's facial armor can be reconfigured to Sniper Mode, exposing a forehead scope used specifically with a rifle-like control device within the cockpit. The cockpit also contains customized dock for Lockon's Haro, which acts primarily to assist in suit movement and enemy detection.Other standard armament include a small GN Shield, secured upon the rotatable shoulder dock opposite the sniper rifle and the mantle-like GN Full-Shield which consists of two shoulder-docked shield extensions that offer varying degrees of frontal protection. It also houses 24 GN missiles launched from behind the frontal knee and skirt armor for dealing with multiple enemies. Dynames most powerful weapon however is the GN Extreme Long Range Sniper Rifle, an optional stationary armament capable of targeting and sniping targets in planetary orbit. When the Trans-AM is activated, it boosts Dynames's specs to three times the normal amount and its acceleration causes afterimages to appear. The name Dynames is derived from dunamis, Koine Greek for might.

GN-002/DG014 Gundam Dynames-Torpedo
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. Designed for anti underwater combat, it features a GN Torpedo Launcher that replaces the GN Sniper Rifle, as well as a sensor array on the left shoulder and face.

GN-003 Gundam Kyrios
One of the protagonist units of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The GN-003 Kyrios is a high-mobility suit that can transform into a jet-fighter mobile armor mode. Its accelerative capacity far outstrips most mobile suits, lending a strong advantage in hit-and-run tactics. The optional weapons container used with its flight mode can be armed for support. To accommodate for flight mode, all limbs and armor are to some extent variable; the unit's hip and ankle joints are fully rotatable, and the head and forearms can be retracted. Kyrios' primary weapons are a two-barreled GN beam submachine gun (operable in both flight and mobile suit modes) and a shield that sports a pincer claw to seize enemy mobile suits as well as a retractable heat blade. Two GN Beam Sabers are also stored in the hips for melee combat. Optional armaments include a pair of 3-tube GN missile launchers mounted on the arms, and a detachable tail unit mounted onto the aft of Kyrios' flight mode with multiple GN missile launcher tubes, and as of the newest tail unit used, a pair of GN cannons and additional thrusters for increased speed. Kyrios also has the ability to use a GN-Field, which is used during episode 15 of the first season, though the barrier is not as large to that of Virtue's. During TRANS-AM the unit's speed is boosted around 3 times allowing the unit moves so fast that it produces after images. The name Kyrios is derived from kurios, the biblical Greek for Lord.

After the battle against the UN Army ended, Allelujah ejected the unit's GN Drive before it came into the hands of the UN Army. The GN Drive was recovered by Fon Spaak for Fereshte, and after Celestial Being negotiated for its return (along with the 0 Gundam's GN Drive, which was also in Fereshte's possession), it is now used on the Arios.

GN-003/af-G02 Gundam Kyrios Gust
Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. Has the ability to exit the atmosphere of the Earth.

GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh
The uncovered high-mobility mode of the GN-005 Virtue, Gundam Nadleeh's name is derived from a Navajo term for "Two-spirit" which denotes a male spirit and a female spirit living in the same body.. Slimmer and more mobile than the Virtue, Nadleeh specializes in high mobility and is armed with a GN Beam Rifle and a GN Shield. Because the Virtue's armor lacks additional weapon mounts, Nadleeh's weapons are usually kept stored on the Ptolemy and must be either delivered to or picked up by Nadleeh. While waiting for its own armaments, Nadleeh is able to defend itself with Virtue's beam sabers or by converting Virtue's GN Cannons into a handheld configuration. The Nadleeh is also equipped with an emergency program called the Trial System, which enables it to control any Mobile Suits connected to Veda in the event of their capture. When the Trans-AM System is activated, it boosts Nadleeh's specs to three times the normal amount and its acceleration causes afterimages to appear. The Nadleeh is heavily damaged in battle with U.N.'s GN-X suits in ep.24-25. Celestial Being recovers the remains of Nadleeh, along with Tieria Erde. The GN-Drive is then installed in GN-008 Seravee.

GN-004/te-A02 Gundam Nadleeh Akwos
The variation of Gundam Nadleeh in 00V. The name "Akwos" means head in Navajo language. It allows the influence of the Trial System to be expanded to ten times. The equipment also increases its combat and defensive potential, giving it better armor, a solid blade, the GN-Gladius, and increasing its speed. Due to the take over of Veda the Trial System cannot be used, and since this armor must be put on after removing the components of the Virtue, whose sheer power is used very often in combat and missions, this unit is not put in practical use.

GN-005 Gundam Virtue
One of the protagonist units of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the GN-005 Virtue boasts sufficient firepower to independantly annihilate numerically superior forces. It's primary weapon is the GN Bazooka, an energy cannon that fires massive blasts capable of destroying multiple enemy mobile suits in a single shot. Due to the GN Bazooka's slow rate of fire, the Virtue is also equipped with a pair of shoulder mounted, double barreled GN Cannons and a pair of GN beam sabers (the latter are rarely used however as the Virtue's heavy armor plating severely limits its speed and maneuverability in melee combat). A spherical GN particle barrier can also be generated from specialized projectors mounted along Virtue's chasis for added defense or other applications such as weight reduction during shutdown for ease of transportation with constant generator activity When the Trans-AM System is activated, the charging time of Virtue's GN Bazooka is drastically lowered and the shot becomes stronger. In emergency circumstances, the bulky armor of the Virtue is removable and can be ejected during battle to convert into an alternate high-mobility mode, GN-004 Nadleeh. The name Virtue is derived from the Christian angelic.

GNR-001 GN Arms
Also known as the GN Armor, this is a mobile armor/weapons platform created for Celestial Being's Gundams. The GN Arms is powered by a Gundam's GN Drive, relying on its GN particles to power its weapons and propulsion. The Arms can act as backup combat support for the Gundam(s) or transform to dock with the mobile suit as a mobile armor.

GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel

 * Pilot: Grave Violento

A 3rd-generation Gundam that appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. It can combine with the mobile platform GNR-000 GN Sefer to form Sefer Rasiel.

GNR-000 GN Sefer

 * Pilot: Hixar Fermi

GNR-000 GN Sefer is a prototype mobile platform developed alongside the GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel. The GNR-001 GN Arms is the enhanced succeeding mobile platform to GNR-000 Sefer. When GN Sefer and Gundam Rasiel combined, they become the Sefer Rasiel. Its pilot is Hixar Fermi. The GN Sefer can also be combined with the four third-generation Gundams, as well as the 0 Gundam (this, however, is so far only seen in hobby magazines and model kits).

GNR-010 0 Raiser

 * Pilot: Saji Crossroad

The 0 Raiser is a mobile weapons platform specifically designed to complement the GN-0000 00 Gundam. It can combine with 00 Gundam to form the 00 Raiser. Outwardly the unit looks very similar to the GN-Sefer. The 0 Raiser helps stabilize the 00's Twin Drive system and has the ability to amplify 00 Gundam's Trans Am System past what was thought to be theoretically possible. On its own, the 0 Raiser is equipped with GN-Micro Missiles, GN-Beam Machineguns and GN-Vulcans. Saji Crossroad is the current pilot of the unit but while connected to 00 Gundam it does not need a pilot.

GNR-101A GN Archer

 * Pilot: Soma Peries (Marie Parfacy)

The GN (read as 'gun') Archer is a mobile weapons platform designed to specifically support the GN-007 Arios Gundam in mobile armor mode in a manner not too dissimilar to the Kyrios' tail-booster. When docked with Arios, the resulting form is known as Archer Arios. Originally, it was designed as one of the 3rd generation Gundams, but it was abandoned and then produced later as a support unit. Hence, it now uses a large GN condenser instead of a GN drive as its power source. Although the GN Archer can strengthen Arios' firepower when docking, it is capable of transforming into a mobile suit. Its weapons include two wide-barreled GN Beam Rifles, GN Beam Sabers, GN Vulcans and GN Missiles. Soma Peries (Marie Parfacy) has been confirmed as the pilot of this unit.

GN-006 Cherudim Gundam

 * Pilot: Lockon Stratos (Lyle Dylandy)

GN-002 Gundam Dynames successor, which like the Dynames can use a Sniper Mode, by exposing a forehead scope used specifically with a rifle-like control device within the cockpit. The cockpit also contains a customized dock for Lockon's orange Haro. The Cherudim is equipped with a dedicated precision targeting camera located in its head, above the V-Fin, similar to Dynames. In addition, during Trans-Am it deploys a HoloScreen, a targeting unit stored in the backpack which is used to boost Cherudim's accuracy by increasing the speed at which it processes targeting information. The Cherudim's primary armament is its GN Sniper Rifle II, which is stored on the right shoulder. Folded in half for storage, it can be used in this configuration as a short-to-medium-range three-barrel Vulcan gun. Its other main weapons are its GN Beam Pistol IIs stored in its backpack. Unlike the Dynames, the Cherudim is not equipped with Beam Sabers. However, The GN Beam Pistol II can serve as its melee weapon, sporting an anti-beam coating capable of blocking enemy beam sabers and can be used as a beam axe. Finally, the Cherudim is equipped with the Shield Bit system which allows all nine GN Shield Bits, two of which are mounted to the left shoulder as a shield, another two on the knees and the others mounted around the GN Drive on its rear waist to be remotely controlled and used for defensive purposes, though they also store a beam gun for offense as well similar to the Throne-Zwei's GN Fangs. The name of this unit could have been derived from the word "Cherubim", an angel with four wings, possibly a reference to the four weapons in Cherudim's arsenal.

GN-006/SA Cherudim Gundam SAGA
First appeared in the 00V series, the Cherudim Gundam SAGA is a variant of the Cherudim Gundam designed for base assault. SAGA stands for "Special Assault GUNDAM Arms". The SAGA's armaments follows a scheme based off of Exia's Seven Swords, but retooled into what Ian calls "Seven Guns". These include the GN Assault Carbine mounted on the right shoulder, 2 GN Sub-Machine Guns held on the knees, 2 GN Beam Pistols kept holster on either side of the hips and 2 GN Beam Pistol IIs held on it's back. Instead of the GN Shield Bits, which are ineffective in small areas, the SAGA is equiped with a handy GN Small Shield stored on its left shoulder. Because the SAGA lacks the GN Shield Bits, its GN Drive has additional armor. In addition to its guns, it is armed with GN Missile Pods and a GN Missile Container on its back.

GN-007 Arios Gundam

 * Pilot: Allelujah Haptism

Arios is the successor unit to the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios and similarly can transform into a mobile armor. The Arios is equipped with two dual-barreled GN Beam Rifles which can rapidly fire beam shots. Also attached to each of the unit's wrists are a pair of small GN submachine guns which can fire at the same rate as the Arios's GN Beam Rifle. A pair of beam sabers are also attached to the lower part of the unit's legs and can slice through a GNX-XIII's GN-rifle/lance with ease. Its prow while in the mobile armor mode can be used as a claw similar to the GN-Heat Blade/Shield of Kyrios. Optional armaments include the GNR-101A GN Archer, which combines with the Arios in mobile armor mode to form the Archer Arios. When the TRANS-AM is activated, all of the Arios's specs are tripled, allowing it to produce GN particle composed afterimages. The name of this unit could have been derived from "Arioch", Hebrew name meaning "fierce lion", also the name of a fallen angel in fictional world. It is possible that the word is used to describe the other persona inside Allelujah, like a fierce lion or a fallen angel.

GN-008 Seravee Gundam

 * Pilot: Tieria Erde

Successor to the GN-005 Gundam Virtue that carries over the heavy armament concept and the TRANS-AM System. It has the same four cannons as the Virtue but skinnier, two cannons are placed at the knees and two on the back of the unit, and a pair of GN-Bazookas. They can also be attached onto the two cannons at the back which can then fire a charged high-density, compressed blast known as "Buster Cannon". The combined form of the GN-Bazookas is called "Double Bazooka", and can also switch to Burst mode to fire a more powerful shot. If it is fired together with the four cannons it is known as "Hyper Bazooka". Attaching the Double Bazooka onto the right cannon at the back will form the "Double Bazooka Cannon", while switching to Burst mode will become "Double Bazooka Buster Cannon". It is also equipped with a pair of GN-Beam sabers which are attached to the wrists of the unit. The two knee-mounted cannons and the two shoulder cannons hide a pair of hands, which can be equipped with beam sabers. There is a torso-sized head that resembles a Gundam's on the back of the Seravee, it is a GN Particle emitter and rear view camera, which generates GN Fields when the V-fins split to expose the eyes (known as Face Burst mode), which is actually the Seraphim Gundam. The GN Field produced by it can also be used to focus a powerful cohesive blast, using the four smaller cannons, at the front. While TRANS-AM is activated, the GN-Particle output is increased to thrice its normal amount. The Seravee is also equipped with the "Seraphim System" which is actually the torso-sized head and shoulder cannons of the Seravee, which separates from the main unit and transforms, becoming the Seraphim Gundam.

GN-009 Seraphim Gundam
A transformable mobile suit that is carried around as the Seravee's backpack unit. Slimmer and more mobile than the Seravee, Seraphim specializes in high mobility. It does not appear to wield any external weapons, however its hands can become a pair of GN-Cannons and also houses a pair of GN Beam Sabers inside. It hands also have the ability to penetrate a GN-Field with TRANS-AM engaged. Whether it can perform the same feat without TRANS-AM is unknown. The name of this unit could be derived from "Seraphim", an angel with six wings, possibly as a reference to its six arms and GN-Beam sabers.

GN-0000 00 Gundam

 * Pilot: Setsuna F Seiei

The successor unit to the GN-001 Gundam Exia. As Celestial Being's first and only 4th Generation Mobile Suit, the "00" (pronounced Double-O) possesses many of the previous generations' standard features, including the GN Drive and Trans-Am System, but also introduces the revolutionary "Twin Drive System", a cutting-edge GN technology originally conceived by Aeolia Schenberg himself. The system uses two GN Drives with compatible GN particle production as the basis for the system's operation, with their productive synergy, the amount of particles the two drives can produce is squared. When it utilizes Trans-AM as the 00 Raiser, the masive GN particle output acts as a catalyst for thought-based communitcation

The 00's weapons consists of the GN-Sword II, two GN Beam Saber/Beam Daggers, and two combinable GN Shields that combine together. They can also function as katar like weapons.

GN-0000/7S 00 Gundam Seven Swords
A variation of the 00 Gundam that resembles the Seven Sword System of Gundam Exia. It appears in the side series Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The armaments include a GN-Short Sword II, which features a tip that is attached to a wire and can be shot out and retracted as many times needed, and a GN-Long Sword II which has an enhanced rifle mode, but a decreased rapid-fire capability and increased particle consumption compared to that of the GN-Sword II. GN-Katars are mounted on the add-on parts at both knees, a type of heat sword that has not been adopted by any Gundam so far. The cutting edges are made of a material developed from those that are used in GN condensers. As the GN particles change to heat, the heat is transferred to whatever is in contact at the time. The GN-Katars are still in their prototype stage. The longest sword of the Seven Swords is the GN-Buster Sword II, which is attached to the GN-Drive on the left shoulder; it is known as the GN Shield mode in its kept state. In its Shield Mode, a large multi-directional GN Field can be generated.
