The RX-78GP03S Gundam "Stamen" (Development codename: Dendrobium Stamen) is a mobile suit that serves as the core unit for the RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium". It was introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory OVA and was piloted by Kou Uraki.
The Stamen was the mobile suit component of the GP03 Dendrobium, designed to dock with the Armed Base Orchis. Because of the complex fire control systems needed for a single pilot to control the Orchis, the Stamen was equipped with a spherical cockpit equipped with a panoramic monitor and a linear seat, making use of materials for the RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis". In addition, in order to improve pilot survivability, the adoption of the Core Block System was considered. However, since it was difficult to create a Core Fighter with a panoramic cockpit, it was decided to create two separate, interchangeable cockpits. The Core Fighter-equipped variant was known as "P-Spec". What "P" stood for is unclear due to the erasure of Gundam Development Project data, with "prototype", "pistil", and "pollen" being suggested.
