Subsequent to the Gryps conflict that saw the defeat of the Titans and the crippling of AEUG, Axis leader, Haman Karn, took advantage of the power vacuum and consolidated 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 Mineva 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 tailend into the atmosphere using a ballute system, which would envelop and shield the ship's rear against the devastating heat during entry.

Being one of the most advanced ships at the time, Sadalahn sports a volumetric display system with projectors on the extremes of the board. Haman was twice seen using the system: first time during a spurring speech to her troops and second time to lure Judau Ashta in his ZZ Gundam onboard.

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 comprising 31 laser guns, Sadalahn was arguably the most heavily armed battleship of her time. She was also one of the fastest and most mobile thanks to an impressive array of powerful engines and verniers. This feature puts the Sadalahn in the same league as its exemplary predecessors, the Gwadan class and the Gwanvan class.

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 base, Mowsa, and the space colony, Core 3, before the AEUG's reinforcements came to reap the spoils in the conclusion of the Battle of Axis.
