Gundam Sadalsuud is a second generation Gundam and predecessor to GN-002 Gundam Dynames. The unit appears in the side-story Mobile Suit Gundam 00P and later in Mobile Suit Gundam 00F as GNY-002F Gundam Sadalsuud Type F.
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. The other Gundam test-types follow this naming theme.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Customized as a testbed for an array of sensor technology, installed in multiple locations across the unit. To accommodate the sensors, effective armor and equipped armaments are reduced to a bare minimum. The installed GN Drive and related devices are of the same series as that used in the Astraea, but the vernier propulsion design is the basis of the Dynames hip thruster. The revolvable equipment dock on the unit's left shoulder is a prototype to that used in the Dynames. Other features include movable panels attached to the front skirt, and a chest sensor located upon the left breast. The purpose of the sensor bar on the right shoulder is presently unknown.
Armaments
Beam Saber
The Sadalsuud is armed with two beam sabers, stored at either side of its rear thrusters. As the weapons themselves are prototypes to the Dynames' beam sabers, their performance is unknown as of this time.
Revolve Bazooka
Primary armament, a multipurpose physical-round firearm with a revolver-style cylinder, variable in function based on the type of munitions loaded. Designed to accompany the sensor system as a practical testing device for the unit's aiming capabilities. An on-board sensor is situated beneath the barrel. A rotatable grip is attached to the top surface.
Sensor Shield
Its official designation unknown, a shield-like device normally secured to a revolvable dock on the unit's left shoulder, with movable panels attached at either side of the sensor plate in the middle of the outwardly-faced surface. A larger cylindrical sensor is located in the compartment furthest from the shoulder, used for the imaging of regions outside the effective reach of the unit's frontally-oriented fixed scan range.
System Features
Trans-Am System
At the time of Sadalsuud's inception, Trans-Am was technically built within all the GN Drives, but no one knew of such a system nor ever utilized it due to the black boxes'; Trans-Am was merely an idle program until Aeolia died, after that, Sadalsuud had already been upgraded and only then was able to use Trans-Am.
