Using the GN-000 0 Gundam as a base, Celestial Being’s Krung Thep engineering team developed four 2nd generation Gundams in 2292 AD to test armaments, equipment, as well as custom machines for live combat. These Gundams also participated in preliminary tests for armed intervention, and later served as the base units for the 3rd generation Gundams. Gundam Astraea is the first of the second generation Gundams to be completed, it is named after the Goddess of Justice depicted on the 'Justice' tarot card, and this reflects the strong convictions about the organization’s ideology. All 2nd generation Gundams have tarot cards related names.

Besides the similarities in looks with the 0 Gundam, the Gundam Astraea is also a general-purpose machine as well, although its basic performance is much better. The suit’s primary purpose is in the testing and development of weaponry, ranging from standard weapons such as the GN Beam Rifle and GN Shield to special weapons like the GN Launcher.Due to the excellent results that Astraea achieved in testing these armaments, its design was used as the basis for the development of the GN-001 Gundam Exia.
