It combines the mobile suit unit, the RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen," with the armed base "Orchis" to form a formidable weapon system.

The mobile suit unit, RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen," serves as the core of the "Dendrobium." It is a highly advanced mobile suit designed for space base defense. It features a versatile arsenal of weapons and is capable of engaging in both long-range and close-range combat. The Stamen is initially piloted by Anaheim test pilot Defrah Kar and later by Federation MS pilot Kou Uraki.

The Armed Base "Orchis" is a massive mobile arsenal that forms the main body of the "Dendrobium." It provides additional firepower, defense, and mobility to the unit. The Orchis is equipped with various weapon systems, allowing the Dendrobium to adapt to different battle situations. Its large propellant capacity enables extended operation, and it can engage in combat on par with Zeon mobile armors. The presence of a large I-Field generator on its right side enhances its defensive capabilities against beam weapons.

The combination of the Gundam "Stamen" and the Armed Base "Orchis" creates a powerful and imposing presence on the battlefield. The Dendrobium is known for its versatility, firepower, and defensive capabilities, making it a formidable force in space combat.
