The GN-000FA Full Armor 0 Gundam was an enhanced equipment version of Celestial Being’s original Gundam, the GN-000 0 Gundam. When Celestial Being began its armed interventions in 2307, the 0 Gundam and its GN Drive were in the possession of the support group Fereshte. Sherilyn Hyde designed the Full Armor equipment for the 0 Gundam to use in their missions. The Full Armor was equipped with GN Composite Armor, first utilized by the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone. This armor was capable of generating and maintaining a stable GN Field by sandwiching it in between two layers of E-Carbon armor. The additional armor could be ejected during close combat to ensure the suit’s mobility. When the additional armor was ejected, many GN particles were released, which could nullify an enemy’s attack. This occurred because the GN particles were leaking out from the ejected armor, forming a makeshift GN Field. The Full Armor’s weapons included vulcan guns, which the 0 Gundam lacked on its own. It also used a 2-barrel beam gun, which could be mounted on either forearm hardpoint. The beam bazooka connected to the GN Drive and was similar to the GN-005 Gundam Virtue‘s GN Bazooka. Although the 0 Gundam could deploy the GN Feather as a defensive measure, the amount of GN particles consumed was too intensive, even for an original GN Drive equipped suit. After Fereshte merged with the reborn Celestial Being, the 0 Gundam and the Full Armor equipment were transferred to the Ptolemaios 2. The Full Armor equipment was not used during the final battle against the Innovators because the 0 Gundam was running on a GN Condenser and thus could not make use of the particle-intensive equipment.
