Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Sakibure is a workloader produced 50 years after the ELS Conflict. It is officially classified as a workloader due to the fact that it was not built for combat.[3] However due to its high performance, it is regarded by many people as a mobile suit.[3] An interesting design feature is that the cockpit hatch and color schemes contains faint aesthetics to the GNX-Y802T Neo-Hed. Because the unit wasn't purposed for war, the series is lightly armored and its joints are exposed. It has a pair of thrusters in the back and wings attached on its legs for controlled high-speed propulsion. This MS is noted for having ELS components inside its head unit, but its purpose is undefined. The Sakibure does not feature any weapons, the boxes on its arms are storage boxes for tools.

These mass-produced units are also using various forms of power plants and utilized differently relative to their masters. There's five versions: Condenser-type, ELS-type, GN Drive Tau-type, Human-type, and GN Drive-type. Because of advancements in artificial control, the Sakibure's don't need human pilots and they're capable of making decisions based on their commands, however, there are still units available for manual piloting.

The units traveling with the Sumeragi utilizes GN Drives and their technology exceeds that of the units ESF had produced 50 years ago. As utilizers of true GN Drives, they have unlimited energy potential (like the Gundams) and have Trans-Am to increase their overall performance capabilities. The units are capable of quantization, a variation of the ability that the Twin Drive 00 units possessed,[2] however, it's not clear if it is a function tied to Trans-Am due to technological enhancements in the past 50 years.

Armaments

The unit has no armaments. As a non-combat MS, it only has a container under its forearms as tools for maintenance and construction.

System Features

The Sakibure can also perform the same Quantum Teleportation as the GNT-0000 00 Qan(T). The Sakibure creates a portal through the chest condensers and the condensers on the palms, then teleports through it.
