Ptolemaios (known also as the Ptolemy) is the mothership for the Gundams of the Celestial Being. Structurally it has four separate docking bays, each with its own catapult to independently launch GN-001 - GN 005. As its main purpose is for the deployment of the Gundams, the ship itself is not armed and is reliant on its GN Field, Gundams, GN Arms, and Assault Container for offense/defense. The Ptolemaios relies on the GN Drives of the Gundams for main power generation. A special connector in each of the docking bays allows the ship to connect to the GN Drive housed within the Gundams to draw power from them. When all four Gundams are launched from the ship, the amount of energy available to the ship is severely limited. The Ptolemaios is heavily damaged during the final battle against the UN Forces killing three crew members in the process.
As the successor to Ptolemaios I, Ptolemaios II is a dramatic improvement over its predecessor. The Ptolemaios II is a multi-purpose MS transport carrier, capable of operating in space, atmosphere, and sea. The ship is designed to be a self-sustaining warship, capable of providing combat support to its Gundams in various situations for extended periods of time. It has atmospheric re-entry capabilities and is capable of returning to space on its own. The ship no longer uses a docking ring for launching Gundams or portable MS containers. Instead, it has a large MS container bay that directly loads their Gundams onto the three linear catapults to launch mobile units in shorter launching times.
Unlike its predecessor, the Ptolemaios II is loaded with an arsenal of weapons including GN Missiles, GN Torpedoes, GN Cannons, GN Cannon Turret, and GN Flak Cannon for defensive/offensive purposes and is able to hold its own without the need of a Gundam. The ship can traditionally use GN particle dispersal for stealth and GN Field for protection, but it also possesses a holographic camouflage system to avoid optical detection. The Ptolemaios II was designed to utilize the power of Trans-Am through the Gundam's solar furnaces. It is also able to use Trans-Am without any of the Gundams docked but only for a short time. It is unclear what the ship's particle output and tolerance are when utilizing such high GN particle energies, but Ptolemaios II was designed to siphon GN particles from all four Gundams in emergency.
Known only as the mothership to Team Trinity, it is a remote mobile suit space carrier meant for the Throne Meisters to use while on space missions. The ship is later utilized by Wang Liu Mei when she travels in space. It is destroyed by Nena Trinity's GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei in episode 19 of season 2.
The assault container is a GN powered mobile unit carrier; their primary purpose is for docking the GN Arms and the Gundams for transportation and atmospheric re-entry. The container itself is powered by a Gundam's GN Drive; without GN particles provided by a solar furnace, the container is useless. While there are built-in weapons, it is dependent on a GN Drive to power it and is otherwise rendered inoperable. It is equipped with GN Rapid Missile Launchers, 2 GN Cannons, 2 GN Beam Rifles and a GN Field.
A shuttle used to house Nena's Gundam, the Liang has the same color scheme as the GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei and is used for reconnaissance mission for stealth purposes, and it is also a transport carrier for the Throne Drei. The Liang has a GN Blaster for offensive purposes which is similar in appearance to the one used by the Gundam Throne Eins Turbulenz. The Throne Drei can be removed from the Liang through an interface in the cockpit.
The spaceship Euclides (known as Euclid) was built for Fereshte, the shadow branch organization to Celestial Being's public face. It is able to repair and resupply vessels without preparing special facilities like factories or bases. The ship's unusual form results from the attachment of several huge manipulator arms to the ship's main structure. The Euclides has four GN Vernier and Plasma engines allowing it to continue operations even without a Gundam. Whereas the Ptolemaios and Ptolemaios II were blue, Chapter 16 of 00F shows that the Euclides is orange. Also in Chapter 16, the Euclides is shown to be capable of projecting a GN Field.
A small craft used by Celestial Being to transport people or supplies when not in battle. Setsuna F Seiei is seen piloting this craft in episode 5 of the second season.
A small aircraft carrier used by Hong Long as a transport for Wang Liu Mei.
The Lab Transport Ship is a Celestial Being combat support transport ship that contains weapons and supplies for Ptolemaios II. Using two MS containers and bridged together with upper hull components of Ptolemy, the ship itself is composed of spare Celestial Being parts that has been rebuilt into a usable space transport ship.
The ship itself is primarily a supply transporter, but is armed with GN Missiles for defensive measures in case the ship must defend itself against enemy units. Because it does not have a GN Field, it depends on hiding behind Ptolemaios II's hull, which acts as one massive body shield to protect the Lab Transport Ship against harm in live combat situations. While not a great combat support ship, the ship is able to provide combat relief to a certain extent for the Ptolemy and assist in attacking units in the Ptolemy's blind spots.
The Lab Transport Ship is sacrificed trying to shield the Ptolemaios II from the Innovators' swarm of Gaga suicide mobile weapons.
A mobile suit carrier used by the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations for defense of its Orbital Elevator and colonies. Later used by Katharon and the Earth Sphere Federation Forces, with Virginia class ships under Katharon installed with linear cannons around the vessel.
A transport ship used by the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations. In the second season, the Earth Sphere Federation is shown to have an improved version of this MS Carrier.
A mobile suit carrier plane used by Union's MSWΛD.
A transport ship used by the Human Reform League. The ship has three 20-tube missile launcher and is capable of storing 12 mobile suits at a time. Later used by Katharon and the Earth Sphere Federation forces, with the Laohu under Katharon installed with linear cannons around the vessel.
The MAJ-V34 Jiachong is a land warfare unit used by the Human Reform League prior to the introduction of mobile suits. Though rendered obsolete by the Fanton, it remained in service as a patrol and fire support unit even after the Fanton itself was replaced by the Tieren.
In addition to the standard model, the HRL also produced the unmanned MAJ-V34AI Jiachong AI-Controlled Type and an unarmed engineer version equipped with a bulldozer blade.
The Jiachong would later be used by the Earth Sphere Federation.
An air use support craft. It is armed with a 20mm cannon.
A space use support unit. Its arnament consist of a 80mm x 50 smoothbore gun.
A transport ship used by the AEU.
A space cruiser for use by the Earth Sphere Federation Forces. Armed with beam weapons and missiles. It also serves as the Federation's main spaceship by both the regeular army and A-Laws.
A land type battleship used by the Earth Sphere Federation and Autonomous Peacekeeping Force A-Laws. The land battleship is armed with 8 GN beam cannon and six 16-tube missile launcher and is capable of independent flight. Kati Mannequin is shown commanding one of these ships in episode 3 of the second season.
A battleship used by the Earth Sphere Federation. It is an improved version of the Union's MS Carrier. The Autonomous Peacekeeping Force A-Laws uses at least three carriers of this type.
A space-use vessel designed for transporting mobile suits and supplies. One of these ships was used by Kati Mannequin to spring a surprise attack on the A-Laws with the Coup d'état faction forces during the final battle between A-Laws and Celestial Being.
Celestial Being doubles as an Innovator factory and battleship. According to Ribbons Almark, Aeolia Schenberg constructed the base to prepare humanity for encounters against unknown alien races.
The whole ship is laced with GN Beam Turrets to fire upon incoming enemy units and counter incoming ordnance. A powerful GN Particle Cannon was built as its most devastating weapon and is capable vaporizing an entire enemy fleet or hollow an asteroid field in seconds. However, because it uses up all of the particles of a fully charged GN Drive Tau in one shot, a rail ring was built onto the mothership so that the cannon can shift into various positions at the front to fire upon enemy targets and evade enemy fire. A series of docking bays were built to allow mass deployment of MS units into battle. The mothership itself can mass produce Innovator clones and MS units for the clones to pilot.
Despite its impressive armaments, the base can be easily infiltrated through the docking bays and relies on a contingent of cloned Innovator pilots to defend it. To avoid enemy detection, the mothership has its own optical camouflage system to completely cloak itself in the darkness of space until it is needed for combat. The mothership has very high GN particle requirement to power the mothership and its weapons, so to compensate the lack of true GN Drives, a series of GN Drive Taus were installed as one large particle cartridge system. Whenever a GN Drive Tau ceases to generate GN particles, the cartridge system quickly replaces the drive with another and recharges the empty ones while the current one is in use.
The interior of the base is heavily defended by automatons and the anti-personnel kill bots respond to the controls of Ribbons himself. While the mothership is completely under control by Ribbons, the true operator of the whole mothership is Veda. Should Veda be compromised, the base cannot operate.
Transport ship (sea) used by La Eden and possibly other civilian/military organizations.
