A graphic novel serialized by Dengeki Hobby Magazine, featuring past events of Celestial Being before the current series. The first Volume was released in May, 2008.

Krung Thep

Krung Thep is an isolated space colony at Lagrange Point L3, operated by Celestial Being as a mobile suit development lab and factory. At a height and radius of 500 meters, it is one of the few operational colonies currently known to exist within Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The colony designation is a common shorthand of the full name of Bangkok in Thai, meaning "city of gods." It is the setting of the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00P, which occurs 15 years prior the series proper within the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 continuity. There is a second season, which is dated 10 years later, and 5 years before Gundam 00 timeline.

Characters

Celestial Being

Ruido Resonance

One of the four Gundam Meisters employed by Celestial Being in the period in which 00P is set. Designated pilot of the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea at Krung Thep. A skilled mechanic, and a senior member to Chall Acustica as of her inception as Meister. He later married Marlene Vlady and was the father of Feldt Grace. He and Marlene were killed in an accident involving Gundam Plutone, an incident which also caused Chall to be permanently scarred.

Marlene Vlady

One of the four Gundam Meisters employed by Celestial Being in the period in which 00P is set. A criminal forced by Celestial Being to serve as a Meister of a prototype Gundam unit at Krung Thep. As she does not support the organization's ideology, a remotely-detonable explosive has been strapped around her neck to keep her under control. Extremely skilled at piloting. Partner to Chall Acustica as of her inception as Meister. She is the mother of Feldt Grace.

Chall Acustica

At age 16, Chall was a member of Celestial Being and the designated Meister of a prototype Gundam unit. Selected for recruitment by Veda on the basis of her academic performance and her ranking in Power Loader competitions. Ruido Resonance believes that other qualities may have influenced Veda's arbitration. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00F, she is the commanding officer of Fereshte, having ceased active service as a Meister after an incident that scarred her face and prematurely whitened her hair. Following the completion of the Gundams, she obtained permission from Veda to set up the branch of Celestial Being known as Fereshte. She is stated to have some past relationship with the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone.

Gundam Meister 874

Designated pilot of the GNY-002 Gundam Sadalsuud. Though Meisters are typically referred to by codename, 874 is designated only by number. For unspecified reasons, she does not appear before the other members of the organization. Physically, she looks younger than 10, but her eyes seem far older.

Joyce Moreno

Doctor and a longtime friend of Ian Vashti from the time before they joined the Celestial Being. He was Celestial Beings medical doctor. He treated Chall when she lost her eye and was exposed to alot of GN particles.

Grave Violento

New protagonist in the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. A third generation meister and agent for Celestial Being. Meister of GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel. Despite his designation as a meister, Grave spends more time acting as an agent to acquire information on military operations in preparation for Celestial Being's debut and protecting the organization by manipulating intelligence to ensure Celestial Being remains a secret it begins its armed interventions.

Hixar Fermi

New protagonist in new chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam 00P. Pilot of GN Sefer. His jovial personality allows him to talk freely with almost anyone, even when meeting them for the first time. Hixar enjoys making others laugh, though has considerable trouble doing so with the serious Grave and dark-mannered Chall. Several years later, he appears in 00F as a Gundam Meister on orders from Veda to follow Fon Spaak, who has been working independently from Fereshte. While Hixar appears to be the same man from 00P, his personality is markedly different and he is shown to have a remotely-detonatable explosive strapped around his neck.

Human Reform League

Delphine Bedelia

Highly skilled and proud, Delphine is a test pilot from the Next Generation Development Technical Laboratory of the HRL and serves as the Tieren Kyitwo mobile suit's rear seat pilot. She is dislikes being partnered with super-soldier Leonard Fiennes and treats him rudely.

Leonard Fiennes

Leonard Fiennes is 7 years old.The front seat pilot of the Tieren Kyitwo sent from the Super Soldier Special Duty Organization to become a test pilot. Despite his age, he shows developing potential as a supersoldier, though he desperately wants to fulfill the role he has been given so he can die.

AEU

But, only for Exia’s Meister, Veda rejected whomever was put forth as a candidate.Almost as if someone behind the scenes was reserving Exia’s seat for someone in particular.And furthermore, this Tieria Erde person before his eyes was someone Grave had absolutely no idea about.Grave knows [some] information about the Innovedo, which only one part of the organization [should] know.The “Innovedo” are imitations of the future new breed of human “Innovator,” artificial lifeforms produced from a base of human DNA.

File No.19:Escaper

"Hallelujah" appears at the start. Hallelujah is able to freely move while Allelujah sleeps. He rises up from the bed of their hiding place. Fon Spark engages in a battle with Delfina and Leonard in a Tieren Kyitwo in one side. Here, the origin of "Fon Spark" is also explained. His characteristic laughter "AHAHA [Spelled in Japanese as AGYAGYA, or a racous kind of laughter]" becomes his nickname that is Phone (sound) and Spark (explosion) attached to each other. Fon let his own bright red Hellion Medium to be shot down with the purpose of making the CB Gundam appear, but unexpectedly Del and Leonard retreated. At nightfall, a man whose right eye is golden appeared before the two who were moving in a big town. He is still young. Though his face was hidden behind a thick hood, only a mad smile up up the corner of his lips is shown. "You... HRL scums. Is that brat a supersoldier? Did you pursue me...? That should have been some hard work." The man puts on a stance with knives on both hands, and Delfina also immediately draws a gun. Leonard answers Hallelujah's question. He says, "Delfina is an important person". After a moment, his face started to strain in a headache. Delfina feels that the headache is caused by the target. Within this strained silence, Leonard opens his mouth. "Please. Don't make Delfina shoot you..." If Delfina shoots him, she will surely be wounded, Leonard says. "Can such a wish, be granted in this situation?", says Hallelujah who is prepared to use his knife. Leonard says, "If you don't leave, I will wake up "he" who is inside you". "Tsk, guess I have no choice", and Hallelujah went away.

File No.20:Innovdo

Leonard and Delfina continue with a mock battle inside the research facility. Delfina remembers the time that Leonard's words when they met Hallelujah. She realizes that Leonard didn't just want to defend her body, but also her heart. The scene changes to CB's side. Chall goes inside Grave's room where is reading. Chall sees Hixar who has been completely cured from being completely scorched, and jokes, "Can Veda possibly not revive people from the dead?" Because the technology of CB is advanced for hundreds of years compared to the rest of the world. "Veda is not god," Grave retorts.Grave, who has special authorization, when he read Veda's data, found that the data uploaded for Hixar is registered as "human", but having seen yesterday's accident, the guy in his best does not seem human. Innovado are produced to imitate humans, but the copying of individuals are fundamentally not practiced. Production from the gene pattern prepared beforehand is the usual method, though it is also possible to make a copy of the individual if a long time is spent.The problem is, in spite of Hixar not being a human, the fact is being concealed from the organization. The explanation might be said that he was created for observing the organization, but this is simply unimaginable. Grave felt an uncomfortable feeling lurk inside him when this patching together these incidents that happened while he was selecting the meisters. "Someone is intervening with Veda, the plan is distorted."

File No.21:Swift Current

The person who solved the abrupt scouting orders for Gundam Meisters from Veda is Grave. He was created for this purpose. [I don't get the line here, which is something like "The performance of Grave's duty is the similar to a paradox of his existence" whatever I'm lost]. Grave inquires about the remaining meister to Veda. It gives advice as to the candidate meister for Exia, but did not give in-depth data on who the person is. Veda acknowledged this, and informed him that the truth is, the scouting and the creation of the test plan is already being done.Grave is relieved upon knowing that the Meisters' selection is progressing. However, on the other hand, he can't put his finger on it, but he strongly felt a serious problem advancing in the darkness.And then, Grave receives a new mission from Veda."Eliminate Gundam eye-witnesses, and people who are knowledgeable on the organization's existence".The number one on the list that Veda presented is Fon Spark.Then second are two Tieren Kyitwo pilots.It became evident that the location of the 2 targets is HRL.Grave passes a cipher communication to the target using the network.Several days later, they meet at Grave's designated location. Kyitwo confronts Rasiel.It seems that the unavoidable battle is not an ordinary battle. This is how I feel." Leonard speaks with Delphine. To be continued.

File No.22:Betrayer

After Grave is handed down the duty of disposing of the Gundam eyewitnesses, he secludes himself in his room and links to Veda immediately after. He receives the news that “Soran Ibrahim”, who witnessed the OGundam armed intervention testing, is to be left alone. According to the Meisters’ counsel at that time, “The possibility of him spreading information is low, and the possibility of him being a man of talent for the organization is high”, and because of this reason, “Soran Ibrahim” is to be left alive. This same assessment is handed down regarding Fon Spark. However, one of them (Soran) is to be left alive, but the other one (Fon) is to be disposed of. Grave as of the moment doesn’t have the means of knowing, he doesn’t know that “something” influences this decision.At this time, Chall knocked on his door, and went in for a visit. Previously, Grave had summoned Chall. He tells her, “I will go to battle, but I have no plans of disposing of anyone”. He furthermore tells to the surprised Chall, “There is no danger posed by them due to combat that is proven. I will withdraw from the obliteration orders from Veda.” Chall worriedly said, “Oh, will you, for your own sake, take on such a distress?” And to that Grave replied, “This is for my own belief”. After a moment of silence, Chall throws her deep sentiments to him.“Please return alive. A gentle person is not suited for combat. Gentleness is what kills a person. …that’s what everyone says.”“I promise. I will certainly return alive.”Grave then furthermore conveys the existence of Fon Spark to Chall, and she recommended him as a member of the support group that she is building.In a certain desert, Grave fights with a Tieren Kyitwo. Grave, who is a combat-type Innovaoid, destroys the drive of the Tieren Kyitwo in just a second after the Raziel begins to move, and ends the combat. Up to when he was returning to the base, Grave requested for a detailed analysis of the data of the combat, and he protests against the disposal orders. “If the action is validated after retreat [?], worrying that the spread of the news to a wide area is not necessary, the enemy becoming an armed threat does not exist.” Grave returned to the base, and just as he has changed to civilian clothes, the conclusion of Veda came out. “The cancellation of the disposal instruction.”In Grave’s face can be seen a sight of relief, but in contrast, Hixar arrives with a surprising behavior. Hixar fires one shot with his gun, and again shoots Grave. The first landed on his leg, and again on his leg, and then on his back, and lastly on his torso. “Uh, wha… what…” Hixar says as he panics. Hixar himself did not understand why he was shooting his close friend.Grave mustered to the last of his strength… “I’m s… sorry, Hixar…”However this weak voice did not reach the panicked Hixar.That very day, Grave was marked as “deletion” in Veda’s meisters list. And then Hixar’s record is re-registered from “human” to “essentially ideal Innovaoid”. However, this is only seen in the high level access. In the general level access, Hixar is also marked as “deletion”.In fact, when Grave died in front of his eyes, Hixar had also died.

File No.23:Gundam 874

The first person who perceived that Grave has been shot by Hixar was Gundam Meister 874. Grave already had a cardiac arrest, and beside him Hixar sits down and stares out into empty space. Meister 874 understood many things at that moment. A terrible thing is trying to awaken. "An enemy… one from the inside…"Suddenly, Meister 874 is reflected in the monitor inside Ian’s room. Just at that time, Moreno, who was Ian’s old friend, also went into his room. Meister 874 requested something from each of them. She told Moreno about the place where Grave has fallen, and Moreno instantly acted. Then she requested from Ian the construction of "Gundam 874". The individual parts of the machine were completed, but it is not yet assembled and the tuning may take many months, says Ian to 874’s request. "Please do it as fast as you can. If possible, have it by tomorrow." Now Ian asked about the problem of the solar furnace, and 874 said to him to use the solar furnace of Gundam Rasiel. With these words, Ian understood the thing about Moreno going to the place where Grave is."Another thing, how about your body?"."That’s fine too. I have resolved it now." When Meister 874 replied this, Ian thought he saw a little distress in her facial expression.At the same time Ian was assembling Gundam 874, Meister 874, in data form, appeared in Hixar’s private room. To unlock [his data] which was protected by an unbreakable quantum password she used the word, "FRIEND" which was reminded to her upon thinking of Hixar. Inside were a large amount of pictures of women, and Hixar’s diary. Written inside the diary was an unexpected fact. "I, might not be human."He bore serious wounds during the test of Virtue Physical Type, and he had “Memories when he died”, but he still lives. In addition to that, he had unbelievable body health. And from here, there is one answer that is thought of. Hixar’s memory was copied to a same [newly] manufactured body. "I am scared. I can’t speak of these such things to anybody." "I really can’t speak of it," he wrote many times. Hixar understood that he was an abnormal "thing" in the organization. And yet, he couldn’t decide to "confess". He did not expect that this lapse of judgment would cause Grave’s death.Furthermore, at the same time. Meister 874 appeared in Agent 887’s room. 887 welcomed 874 with a smiling face, “Siiister!” Meister 874 is like an elder sister to 887, and is also a person who could be called her mother who had given her life.874 told to 887, “I would like to borrow your body.”In surprise, 887 did not say a word, so 874 continued. “It is necessary for me to have a body in order to ride a mobile suit. I can’t promise to return it, but please lend it to me. All of your personal data will be temporarily kept in Veda. If I damage the borrowed body, or if I disappear, I propose to give you a new one.” “Haaa…”The sound of Agent 887’s heart break – it was a sorrowful shout that denied all worlds. Meister 874 felt that she had dealt her the death sentence. Though she was sad, Meister 874 could not cry nor shout. A few hours later.Ian asked Meister 874 about the name “Development Code Gundam 874”. The Gundam, except for one part, is usually named by Veda based on function and purpose. The names are usually taken from myths and legends.“Gundam… Artemie…” 874 replied in an instant. The machine’s silhouette resembles a bee. Artemis is popularly the Goddess of the Moon, is symbolized by a bee that gives good harvest, and furthermore, a bee draws an 8 in its flight trajectory. It is suitable to the boarding of 874’s spirit and 887’s body.“Where is the enemy?” Ian asks. 874 answers, “If I sortie, it will appear soon.” Meister 874 was confident. If it is assumed that the enemy is an insider, she knew that she would be the next one attacked after Grave’s elimination. And, because only an accident from combat is the means that Meister 874 can be most effectively eliminated. “The place is here. The enemy is on the inside.”

File No.24:Base Sequence 0026

eonard and Delfina’s personal objective changed into finding a comrade in CB (Grave) [?]. And then, at around the time Leonard and the rest started to face their new objective, there were a few changes in CB. At that very same day, Tieria abruptly received a mission: There were additional tests to Virtue Physical to be done. At that same time, Ian and the rest were prohibited from entering the hangar where only Exia, Dynames, and Kyrios are present.

Meister 874 exited into space using Gundam Artemie. “It’s here…” Two machines came from the hangar. [I think this refers to Artemie and the enemy, who is said to be residing “from the inside”] There is no corresponding machine like that in Veda. It was created in absolute secrecy.

Particle beams attacked Artemie. “Trial Field” The retina pattern of Meister 874 is read into the machine, and the message arrives in Veda through quantum communication. And then, the enemy machine froze. This is the reason 874 sortied in the Gundam Artemie.

But after a while, her Trial field was cancelled. This is because Tieria used the Trial Field. The Trial Field, which was created in order to prevent betrayal, can be used by only a restricted set of Meisters. Furthermore, it is set up so that it can not be used simultaneously by two people. Because Tieria, who has a superior authority to armed intervention Meister 874, used the Trial Field, the Trial Field of Gundam Artemie was negated.

“Who are you?” “Beside Pain” Through quantum communication, an image of a young man with the same base pattern of Ribbons, a man with green hair, came into view. [Blogger’s note: His hairdo and appearance is the same as Leif’s] “By the way, my registration number in Veda is 08368-SA846,” Beside continued to communicate to her. “You… what did you do to Grave!” Enraged, Meister 874 shot 4 bits while thrusting towards the enemy. In front of her, one MS came into view after releasing its optical camouflage. “A machine that succeeds from the line of O Gundam: The 1 Gundam. A Gundam developed from Veda for the use of Innovades.” [Blogger’s comment: You read 1 as you would read the letter “I”]

1 Gundam’s rifle shoots through Gundam Artemie. In desperation, 874 prepares to use her rifle. To be continued. The next chapter is the last. The title is “FILE FINAL FRIEND”.

File No.25:Friend

Chall was crushed by sadness upon learning of Grave’s “record erasure”.From Chall’s personal computer terminal, data on “Fon Spark,” who Grave was proposing to scout, was sent to Veda.Seeing that, Chall made the best use of what Grave had left behind for her. She decided to make Fon Spark a comrade and continue moving forward. Elsewhere, in the void of space, the battle between Beside Pain in 1 Gundam along with his support units and Meister 874 in Gundam Artemie continued. But, in a three-on-one battle, Artemie was accumulating damage bit by bit. 847’s cockpit was struck with a beam, when 874 resolved to “hit” as well, a GN Beam Shield protected 874 from the beam aimed at her. Gundam Rasiel had forced it’s way through the fray.

Rasiel was being piloted by a “revived” Grave.Realizing that Grave was “not human,” Moreno treated him swiftly, along with support from Ian.Grave’s brainwaves had already stopped, but after a short time he was revived.But, because the bullet Grave was shot with had been laced with cell-destroying nanomachines, Grave could only stay alive for about 30 minutes.Using that time, Grave decided to sortie in Gundam Rasiel’s second form using a condenser to help 874.“Doctor, Ian. I’m grateful to both of you.I would have died after a few minutes. But before that happened, I was granted a reprieve to complete my final duty.Compared to my entire life up until now, these fleeting minutes are most precious.”Ian and Moreno saw Grave off as he thanked them simply with a big nod.Seeing Rasiel, Beside was thrown into chaos.Grave advocated that he stop what he was doing.“Someone who escaped death has….!” Beside rejected the recommendation.Before Beside, Rasiel quickly discarded it’s weapons, and lowered the machine onto an asteroid.Grave was trying to provoke him.Graves actions made Beside completely lose his composure.The fundamental characteristic of Beside’s personality was that he “loathed his plans going awry.” Because a course of action had been established, but Grave, who should have been eliminated, was still hanging around, everything was screwed up.Taken in by Rasiel’s provocation, Beside drew near.In order to conserve particles, Grave waited until the last moment to draw his beam saber.In the instant the two Gundams came into contact, Beside’s special ability was put into effect.“Install!”.The ability was that Beside’s restricted/limited personal data can be forced upon and overwrite any Innovade linked with Veda.But, because Grave had his “record erased,” and was released from his Veda link, this technique was useless.Grave tore 1 Gundam to pieces.

Beside quickly transfered all of his personal data to one of the Innovades piloting his support units with the same base pattern.But, the cockpit was destroyed mid-transfer, and the data that made Beside an individual was mostly lost, and disappeared.20 minutes had elapsed since Gundam Rasiel sortied.Grave didn’t even have 5 minutes left.In the end, Grave sent a voice-only transmission to Hixar.Hixar was lying on the bed in his room, but his eyes were not focused on anything.Grave spoke, intentionally not naming himself.He reported the progress of the battle in a business-like manner. He let emotion slip into the last words.“So… Stand up and live.”Then, these last words revived Hixar, and it was determined that he would work for the plan.Rasiel, having exhausted all of it’s particles, and Grave, having finished all his duties, quietly began a journey into the abyss.A record of a civil war from Veda.Grave is dead. All of his actions were overlooked.Upon being equipped with an anti-treachery explosive, Hixar became a private Veda agent As for Meister 874, under the saboteur to Aeolia’s plan, she caused the conflict of her own accord, but no evidence was found.Taking responsibility for the civil war, she was sealed into a restricted-function terminal and assigned to Fershette.Beside Pain’s sub-body had a new personality written to it, and became an observation Innovade.
