Page "Gundam" Paragraph 18

* In the After Colony timeline, the word " Gundam " refers to most mobile suits constructed out of a special alloy called " Gundanium ", which can only be mined and produced in space.

This alloy gives the Gundams high resistance to conventional weaponry and renders them stealthy under radar, due to its nature of absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

Every Gundam has a unique name that befits the nature of the suit and / or its origins, such as the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam, XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe and the XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam.
