Technology & Combat Characteristics
The [[GNT-0000 00 Qan［T］|GNT-0000 00 Qan[T]]] was developed for Setsuna F. Seiei, who had awakened as a true Innovator, and it featured two new GN Drives made specifically for its Twin Drive System. By synchronizing the pair of 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. However, a number of elements have to be met for this system to operate stably, with the most prominent being the compatibly between the two GN Drives. Furthermore, this compatibly would only be known when the GN Drives are installed in the mobile suit and activated, as seen with the first mobile suit to incorporate the Twin Drive System, the GN-0000 00 Gundam. When equipped with this optional unit, the 00 Qan[T] is known as "GNT-0000/FS 00 Qan[T] Full Saber". With lessons learnt from the 0 Raiser, the optional unit for the 00 Qan[T] was designed as a weapon, and it was named "GN Sword IV Full Saber". The GN Sword IV Full Saber is composed of several parts and while its basic form is that of a buster sword, it can assume other forms, such as a large beam firearm, depending on how the components parts are combined or used. The positioning of the GN Sword IV Full Saber on the right side of the mobile suit enables it to serve as a counterweight to the GN Shield on the left. Unfortunately, the GN Sword IV Full Saber was never used. This was because activation test of the 00 Qan[T] showed its Twin Drive System operating stably on its own. Furthermore, 00 Qan[T] was deployed in the ELS crisis right after its completion and then left for the home planet of the extraterrestrial, only returning 50 years later. After the ELS crisis, a simulation ran within Celestial Being showed that 00 Qan[T] Full Saber can eliminate an ELS horde similar to that during the crisis in a single week. While this simulation did not consider several factors, it nevertheless showed the 00 Qan[T] Full Saber's high combat potential.
History
After the ELS crisis was over, a simulation was ran within Celestial Being using the quantum processing system Veda to determine the combat capability of "GNT-0000/FS 00 Qan[T] Full Saber" – a variant of the [[GNT-0000 00 Qan［T］|GNT-0000 00 Qan[T]]] equipped with the GN Sword IV Full Saber. The GN Sword IV Full Saber is a weapon with a built-in Twin Drive stabilization system, and developed by the organization's chief mechanic, Ian Vashti, in case the Twin Drive System of the 00 Qan[T] could not operate stably. However, activation test showed the 00 Qan[T]'s Twin Drive System operating stably by itself, so the GN Sword IV Full Saber was not equipped even though it was built. Despite this, its usefulness is never in doubt. The simulation was conducted by Sherilyn Hyde, a disciple of Ian and the mechanic of the Fereshte support organization, and she had the 00 Qan[T] Full Saber confronting the large ELS and countless medium and small-sized ELS by itself.
The simulation results showed the 00 Qan[T] Full Saber wiping out the ELS horde in a single week. Sherilyn was greatly shocked and quickly rechecked the inputted data. There was no error. Since this is a simulation, its result is not an exact representation of real-life event. Surely, Setsuna F. Seiei, the intended pilot of 00 Qan[T] Full Saber, would not be able to fight for an entire week, and there was also the possibility of more ELS arriving as reinforcement for the ELS horde. Thus, it is just as likely for the ELS horde to be victorious if this battle occurred in real life. Nevertheless, the simulation did confirm that 00 Qan[T] Full Saber could overwhelm the ELS. It is also worth noting that it is now known the ELS horde was not fully committed to fighting during the crisis, they were simply mimicking mankind's action in an attempt to communicate with humanity. Even after considering this fact, Sherilyn still found the simulation results to be too one-sided.
Looking at the data displayed on screen, Sherilyn imagined how the battle would unfold. With the ELS horde communicating using quantum brainwaves and sharing a single mind, the large ELS would naturally be the priority target for 00 Qan[T] Full Saber as it is the core of this horde. By eliminating the large ELS, the other ELS would likely fall into confusion. However, since the large ELS is comparable in size to the moon and has self-regeneration capabilities, destroying it is easier said than done. Setsuna would likely adopt a tactic of diving into the core of the large ELS and destroying it from within using the GN Sword IV Full Saber and the GN Sword Bits. Sherilyn noted that if not for the ELS possessing intelligence, Setsuna would have tried his best to eradicate them. While many lives were lost during the crisis, Sherilyn was relieved that mankind at least has a new partner in the ELS. Sherilyn still yearned to see the 00 Qan[T] Full Saber in battle, but she knows that this is only a fantasy.
