  This month's anime mag info
  Official info for season 2 of Gundam 00 just started to leak out. Note: Source pics weren't the most legible so these are subject to correction. Thanks to 2ch posters, who also puzzled out what they could.

  Characters:
  Setsuna F. Seiei - 21-years-old. Lived as a boy soldier in his native Kurdish and became a Gundam Meister with Celestial Being. Engaged in one-on-one combat with Graham in a final battle. Went missing. 4 years after, what does he think of as he looks at the world without conflict the Earth Sphere Federation ushered in?

  Lockon Stratos - Expert marksman and Gundam Meister affiliated with Celestial Being. 4 years ago, he and his bitter enemy Saachez shot each other simultaneously and (*unreadable portion*) This Lockon (*unreadable*) heads to the battlefield together with his partner Haro and, as a Gundam Meister, pilots the Keldim Gundam.

  Allelujah Haptism

  Tieria Erde - Age unknown. Seriously injured in the decisive final battle in which he flew the Gundam Nadleeh but he was rescued by an organization and his life saved. Afterwards, he did his best to rebuild Celestial Being. Previously, he had thought of Veda as an absolute being but now he looks for the meaning of his personal struggle.

  Mecha (definitely iffy on the names here):
  GN-0000 00 Gundam - New generation Gundam developed as a successor unit to the Gundam Exia. A formidable mecha equipped with 2 GN Drives on its shoulders, it boasts astounding GN particle emission and its performance overwhelms that of all other mobile suits. Pilot: Setsuna F. Seiei

  Keldim Gundam

  Arios Gundam

  Selavii Gundam - A heavy armament model piloted by Tieria Erde that largely carries over features of the Gundam Virtue. Furthermore, it was developed with the intent of strengthening offense and while the 2 shoulder-equipped GN cannons are simple in form, their firepower far exceeds the Virtue's.

  Info from Kouryaku No Yakata's Newtype summaries: The second season will revolve around an independent security enforcement organization within the Federation called "Arrows" that suppresses anti-Federation elements. Setsuna will take on a leadership role. Most people aren't aware of the severe oppression of Arrows due to the Federation's complete control of information. Lockon died and isn't coming back. The show will air in MBS' Sunday 5 pm timeslot starting in October.

  Gundam 00 site update
  The official site updated several pages with Season 2 info.

  Story:
  "2312 A.D.

  4 years since the final battle between Celestial Being and the UN Forces. Humanity, having established the Earth Sphere Federation, forms an independent security preservation force, Arrows, separate from the formal Federation army to further unify nations and the will of mankind. But the reality was the inhumane oppression of anti-government powers, doctrines & ideologies in the name of unity.

  Saji Crossroad, who followed the path to becoming a space engineer to keep a promise to Louise Halevy and fulfill a dream, is also compelled to become involved in Federation government reform.

  Meanwhile, Setsuna F. Seiei, surviving the final battle 4 years ago, saw the future of the world that had been changed by Celestial Being. With the defeat of guardian Alejandro Corner, he dreamed of a peaceful world without conflict. But before his own eyes was the reality of the continuing strain on peace, the oppression caused by Arrows. He decides once more to fight with Gundam, the power with the potential to change the world.

  Where will Setsuna's and Saji's paths take them as the world is set into motion once more?"

  Tagline (in contrast to the first season tagline "Rebirth begins through destruction"): "(We will) destroy the rebirth"

  Characters:
  Setsuna F. Seiei
  "21-years-old. A fated child soldier from the Middle East's Republic of Krugis. Saved by the 0 Gundam during that time and became a Gundam Meister with Celestial Being. 4 years after the battle with allied forces, what does he think of as he looks at the world newly unified by the Earth Sphere Federation...?"

  Lockon Stratos
  "29-years-old. A member of Celestial Being and pilot of the marksman-type Keldim Gundam. Heads into battle with Haro."

  Allelujah Haptism
  "24-years-old. From the HRL's Superhuman Institute and pilot of the retired Gundam Kyrios. Went missing after the fierce battle with allied forces 4 years ago. He seems to have had a past with super soldier Soma Peries from the same Superhuman Institute..."

  Tieria Erde
  "Age unknown. Injured in the decisive final battle with allied forces 4 years ago, he was rescued by Celestial Being and did his best in their reconstruction. While he once followed Veda's judgment absolutely, he now looks for the meaning in combat through his own decisions."

  Mecha:
  GN-0000 00 Gundam
  Pilot: Setsuna F. Seiei
  "Gundam Exia's successor unit. Its greatest feature is its 2 GN Drives equipped on the shoulders. This allows it to boast particle emisson volumes surpassing all other units."

  Keldim Gundam
  Pilot: Lockon Stratos
  "Gundam Dynames' successor unit. It also supports sniper combat to reflect the characteristics of its pilot."

  Arios Gundam
  Pilot: Allelujah Haptism
  "Gundam Kyrios' successor unit. Similar to the Kyrios, it has the ability to transform. It can be said that it's suited for high-speed movement."

  Selavii Gundam
  Pilot: Tieria Erde
  "Gundam Virtue's successor unit. A heavy armament model similar to the Virtue. Equipped with GN cannons on both shoulders that boast greater firepower than the Virtue. "
