Celestial Being

Celestial Being (ソレスタルビーイング, Soresutaru Bīingu) is a private military organisation in the Anno Domini timeline that uses advanced mobile suits called Gundams to conduct armed intervention operations. Founded by Aeolia Schenberg, Celestial Being’s stated goal is to eliminate all warfare through armed intervention, attacking all parties involved in conflicts regardless of their affiliation. The organisation operates independently of the world’s major power blocs and uses revolutionary GN Drive technology to maintain technological superiority.

History

Founding and mission

Celestial Being was founded by Aeolia Schenberg, who developed the organisation’s philosophy and technology to achieve his vision of eliminating warfare through armed intervention. The organisation’s mission is based on the belief that conflicts can be eliminated by demonstrating overwhelming military superiority and attacking all parties involved in conflicts, forcing them to cease hostilities.

The organisation’s operations are guided by Veda, a supercomputer that analyses conflicts and determines when and where Celestial Being should intervene. Veda’s decision-making process is designed to be objective and impartial, targeting all parties in conflicts to eliminate the underlying causes of warfare.

Armed intervention operations

In AD 2307, Celestial Being began its armed intervention operations, deploying four advanced Gundam mobile suits to intervene in conflicts worldwide. The organisation’s operations target the Union, Advanced European Union (AEU), and Human Reform League (HRL) power blocs, attacking all parties involved in conflicts regardless of their affiliation.

Celestial Being’s interventions initially achieve some success, as the world’s power blocs are unable to match the organisation’s technological superiority. However, the unified resistance from the world’s military forces eventually challenges Celestial Being’s operations, leading to increasingly intense conflicts.

Challenges and evolution

Celestial Being faces numerous challenges throughout its operations, including unified resistance from the world’s power blocs, internal conflicts, and the emergence of new threats such as the Innovators. The organisation’s methods and goals are questioned by both its members and external observers, leading to debates about the ethics of armed intervention and the effectiveness of using violence to eliminate violence.

Despite these challenges, Celestial Being continues its mission, adapting its strategies and developing new technologies to maintain its effectiveness. The organisation’s commitment to its goal of eliminating warfare drives its actions, even as it faces increasingly difficult circumstances.

Organisation

Celestial Being operates as a hierarchical organisation with various divisions and personnel responsible for different aspects of its operations. The organisation’s command structure is centred around Veda, which serves as the primary decision-making system, whilst human operators manage day-to-day operations and tactical decisions.

Gundam Meisters

Celestial Being’s primary combat personnel are the Gundam Meisters, pilots who operate the organisation’s Gundam mobile suits. The four main Gundam Meisters are:

Setsuna F. Seiei, pilot of the GN-001 Gundam Exia
Lockon Stratos, pilot of the GN-002 Gundam Dynames
Allelujah Haptism, pilot of the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios
Tieria Erde, pilot of the GN-005 Gundam Virtue

The Gundam Meisters carry out Celestial Being’s armed intervention operations, engaging enemy forces and demonstrating the organisation’s military superiority.

Support personnel

Celestial Being employs various support personnel, including engineers, technicians, and command staff who manage the organisation’s operations. The crew of the Ptolemaios, Celestial Being’s mobile suit carrier, provides support for the Gundam Meisters during missions.

Technology

Celestial Being’s technological superiority is based on GN Drive technology, which produces GN particles that provide nearly unlimited energy and enable various advanced technologies. The organisation’s Gundam mobile suits utilise GN Drives to power their systems, giving them significant advantages over conventional mobile suits that rely on limited power sources.

GN particle technology enables various capabilities, including:

Beam weapons that do not require ammunition
GN Fields for defence
Enhanced mobility and propulsion
Stealth capabilities
Trans-Am system for temporary performance enhancement

Philosophy

Celestial Being’s philosophy is based on the belief that warfare can be eliminated through armed intervention that demonstrates overwhelming military superiority. The organisation’s method involves attacking all parties in conflicts, forcing them to cease hostilities by making warfare too costly and ineffective.

The organisation’s approach raises ethical questions about the use of violence to achieve peace and the legitimacy of private military organisations intervening in international conflicts. These questions are central to the series’ exploration of Celestial Being’s mission and methods.
