GN-000 0 Gundam

The GN-000 0 Gundam, often referred to simply as the “0 Gundam,” is a pivotal mobile suit in the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 universe, representing the first Gundam equipped with the revolutionary GN Drive. Developed by Celestial Being, the 0 Gundam was completed around A.D. 2290 and served as the prototype for future Gundam designs. Standing 18 meters tall and weighing 60 metric tons, its distinctive design features a large GN Drive mounted on its back. The suit is equipped with a GN Beam Saber, GN Beam Gun, and a Gundam Shield, as well as the ability to deploy GN Feathers—large wings of GN particles that disrupt enemy communications and provide defensive capabilities.

The 0 Gundam was initially piloted by Ribbons Almark, and its design and technology were instrumental in the creation of subsequent mobile suits, including the Throne series. After its initial deployment, the GN Drive from the 0 Gundam was removed and used to power the GN-0000 00 Gundam. Though it was later stored in Celestial Being’s resource satellites, the 0 Gundam was reactivated during a final battle, powered by a GN Condenser, and piloted by Lasse Aeon. Despite limited operational time, the 0 Gundam (Type A.C.D.) played a crucial role in the conflict before being destroyed in the final confrontation. The legacy of the 0 Gundam is significant, as it introduced the GN Drive and GN particles, technologies that would shape the development of future Gundams and solidify its place in the series’ history.
