Subsequent to the Gryps War which saw the defeat of Titans by AEUG, now greatly weakened, Haman Karn lost no time in regrouping her forces to take over the entire Earth Sphere. To achieve this, she would repeat what the Principality of Zeon did by forming a land invasion force to seize control of the Federation's strongholds on Earth. A new flagship, capable of carrying Haman and figurehead Minerva Zabi to personally supervise the operation and later officiate at the ensuing ceremonies on Earth, was commissioned -- the Sadalahn.

Equipped with Minovsky Craft system for atmospheric flight, Sadalahn would enter the atmosphere using a parachute system, known as a balute, which envelops and shields the entire rear of the vessel against the devastating heat during descent.

Being one of the most advanced ships at the time, Sadalahn sports a holographic device, with projectors on the extremes of the board, that the charismatic Haman would use to project her image in space and spur her troops on.

Armed with six twin Mega Particle cannons, two hyper Mega Particle cannons, six large missile launchers, and a state-of-the-art anti-air defense system including 31 laser guns, Sadalahn was arguably the most heavily armed battleship of her time. She was also one of the fastest and most mobile with an impressive array of powerful engines and verniers.

Little was known about the fate of Sadalahn after it became one of the few Neo Zeon warships to have survived the collision of the asteroid Axis and the colony Core 3, an act of desperation from the Neo Zeon rebels led by Glemy Toto before their demise at the Battle of Axis, and was captured by the AEUG support fleet that came to reap the spoils.
