The GNY-002F Gundam Sadalsuud Type F was an upgraded version of the GNY-002 Gundam Sadalsuud created by Celestial Being. The Gundam Sadalsuud was one of Celestial Being’s second Generation Gundams, which were used to test weapons and designs for the third generation. After testing was completed, the second generation Gundams were transferred to the support group Fereshte. Three of the Gundams received upgrades and were equipped with sensor masks to hide their Gundam features. The Type F’s sensor capabilities were improved, and it now mounted the same large sensor shield on both shoulders. However, the shields now featured a GN vernier on the bottom instead of a sensor, and two new sensors were added at the top. The Type F was still not intended for combat. Following the collapse of Celestial Being in 2308, Fereshte raided secret Celestial Being bases to collect spare parts before the UN army found them. Using parts from the third generation Gundams, the Type F was upgraded with the ability to generate a GN Field. Compared to the 360-degree field used by the GN-005 Gundam Virtue, this version was smaller, usually a single plane shield. The Type F could also use the GN Sniper Rifle from the GN-002 Gundam Dynames. In 2308, Hixar Fermi stole the Type F and the original GN Drive it was equipped with. He later joined Fereshte as a Gundam Meister and was tasked with hunting down Fon Spaak, who was branded a traitor over his rogue actions.
