Technology & Combat Characteristics

The GN-0000 00 Gundam was one of the new Gundams deployed by Celestial Being in AD 2312, and the first mobile suit to feature the Twin Drive System that comprised two original GN Drives. By perfectly synchronizing the two GN Drives, the Twin Drive System can produce a GN Particle output that is squared that of a single GN Drive rather than merely doubled. The 00 was expected to have exceptional combat capabilities thanks to this immense amount of GN Particles. Unfortunately, the 00 was unable to stabilize the Twin Drive System by itself, and this also caused its GN Drives to overload when the Trans-Am System was used in battle. To solve these problems, the Celestial Being engineers turned to the GNR-010 0 Raiser In the 00 Raiser form, the 0 Raiser used its system to control and stabilize the 00's Twin Drive System, leading to the full operation of the Twin Drive and safe activation of the Trans-Am System. The performance of 00 Raiser exceeded all previous Gundams and was beyond expectations, thus the word "Gundam" was removed from its name as it was considered to have transcended the Gundam category. While the main body of the 0 Raiser folds and connects to 00's backpack, the support machine's left and right side binders separate and attach to the Gundam's GN Drives, which are located off the shoulders. Once docked, the composite sensor unit in the nose of the 0 Raiser, which was more powerful than the sensors normally installed in a mobile suit, could be used to benefit the 00 Raiser. These antennas are in addition to smaller clavicle antennas installed on the 00's forehead and support antennas on the Gundam's chest. Like the GN Sword II, the GN Sword III switches between different modes for melee and ranged combat, but it was more powerful and could better utilize the large amount of GN Particles released during Trans-Am., with the amount of GN Particles generated and emitted far beyond squaring, even exceeding theoretical limits. As a result, it acquired special abilities, such as teleportation through quantization and creation of a quantum space where people could transmit their thoughts to each other. These particles have various effects, such as disrupting enemy Innovades' quantum brainwaves, and generating a large quantum space that caused the expansion of human consciousness, enabling people to communicate telepathically. The Trans-Am Burst's quantum space could also cause a human to evolve into an Innovator., might have assisted Setsuna. On the other hand, Saji seemed to be needed to operate the Raiser System for the Raiser Sword attack, which Setsuna never used when he piloted the mobile suit by himself. Control of 00 Raiser could be transferred to Saji when Setsuna has to leave the mobile suit, and if Saji is not around, Setsuna could task Red Haro with looking after the machine. Due to 0 Raiser's essential role in stabilizing the Twin Drive System, damage to its cockpit system negatively affected the operation of the 00 Raiser. Furthermore, data obtained from 00 Raiser was used to develop the GNT-0000 00 Qan[T], an Innovator-use mobile suit that makes the most of Setsuna's abilities.
