BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Unique from all other EVAs in almost every way, Evangelion Unit 01 has proven to be the most uncontrolable EVA ever produced. This EVA contains the soul of Yui Ikari, the mother of the Third Children, Shinji Ikari. Unit 01 was cloned directly from Lilith whereas, all other Evas are clones of Adam's DNA. Upon its first outing into actual combat conditions, Unit 01's synch rate with her pilot was well over 40%, astounding all NERV personnel. Further outstanding phenomena include the Unit's ability to operate without power on multiple occasions and going completely berzerk.

During the attack of the 14th angel, Unit 01 defeated the angel by completely devouring it, along with the S2 organ contained within all angels. With this addition, the EVA was no longer dependant on an outside source of power and could operate for an infinate amount of time. Members of SEELE and Commander Fuyutski of NERV were quoted as saying that since Unit 01 contained the wisdom of human and the life of angel, it was the equal of god. A god created by man who would later play the key role in the Third Impact.

Since third impact occured, the EVA was lost to the far reaches of space, drifting alongside the Lance of Longinus, forever lost to the foolish humans who created her.

            


COMBAT RECORD
First sortied against the 3rd Angel, Sachiel. After the initial attack, Unit 01 went berzerk and destroyed the angel.

Three weeks later, Unit 01 was deployed against the fourth angel. After having its umbilical cable snapped off, the Eva defeated the angel while still leaving the main body intact.

After the successful activation of Unit 00, both EVAs were deployed in a joint operation to destroy the angel using the SSDF Custom Long Range Sniper rifle. Unit 01 successfully defeated the angel, but Unit 00 suffered massive damage.

As ordered by Captain Misato Katsuragi, Unit 01 was later deployed in an attempt to stop a rampaging robot known as "Jet Alone."

After arriving in Japan from Germany, Unit 02 was deployed alongside Unit 01 for the 7th angel's attack. Both units were quickly defeated when it was revealed that the angel could seperate into halves. Another attack by both EVAs was launched which included both units operating on perfectly synchronized timing, the angel was then easily defeated.

For the operation against the 8th angel, Unit 01 served as the back-up and did not perform in any actual combat.

The attack of the ninth angel marked the first joint operation of all three EVAs, after Unit 02 neutralized the angel's AT Field, Unit 01 destroyed the angel with a volley from the palette rifle.

Unit 01, along with the other two EVAs were dispatched against the 10th angel who was falling onto Japan from the atmosphere. Unit 01 caught the angel and helped to neutralize it's AT field while Unit 02 completed the attack.

In the attack of the 12th angel, Unit 01 was consumed by a "Sea of Dirac" and disappeared. It was not seen again until NERV was ready to carry out an operation that involved dropping all 992 existing N2 mines into the angel. Before the operation could be carried out however, Unit 01, despite being completely drained of power, erupted from the angel's body in a downpour of blood, the angel was defeated.

The 13th angel took over Evangelion Unit 03 and used it as the instrument of it's attack. After quickly defeating Unit's 00 and 02 it moved on to Unit 01. With Unit 01's pilot unwilling to fight back against another EVA. Gendo Ikari ordered that Unit 01's synchronization circuits be shut down and all system controls be transferred to the dummy plug. After which, the EVA went under a state of berzerk and proceeded to completely dismantle the rouge Evangelion.

During the 14th angel's onslaught on NERV headquarters, Unit 01 refused to activate with both Rei Ayanami as the pilot, and with the dummy plug. All seemed lost until Shinji Ikari returned and demanded to pilot the EVA. With only a minute and a half of power, Unit 01 fought with the 14th angel inside of NERV headquarters and out on the geofront, in the process losing it's left arm. After draining it's power, the angel quickly regained the upperhand by exposing the EVA's core and then attempting to destroy it. However, Unit 01 re-activated and used one of the angel's tendrils to regenerate it's left arm. Afterwards, the EVA went on to completely devour the angel and take the S2 organ into itself after finally becoming "aware."

During the next two angel attacks, Unit 01 was kept in cryo-stasis. Only until the 16th angel was fusing itself with Unit 00 was Unit 01 unfrozen and sortied for combat. However, once the EVA reached the surface, Unit 00 contained the angel within itself and initiated a self-destruct. Wiping out all of Tokyo-3.

The final angel took the form of a boy, Karou Nagisa and was sent directly to NERV by SEELE as the Fifth Children. The angel took complete control of Unit 02 and used it as it's body guard as he made his way downwards to terminal dogma to return to Adam and intiate 3rd Impact. However, Unit 01 was deployed and caught up with the Angel and the EVA he'd taken over. After fighting with and defeating Unit 02, Unit 01 then found the angel in the LCL plant, floating before what was thought to be Adam, but was in truth, Lilith. Karou pleaded with the pilot of Unit 01 to kill him, otherwise humanity would be destroyed. Shinji reluctantly accepted his request and snapped Karou's head off, killing the angel.

Shortly after the last angel's attack, SEELE initiated it's plan to start Third Impact in which Unit 01 was used in place of Lilith. After Shinji Ikari decided what course humanity should take, EVA 01 once again activated itself and drifted away from Earth along with the Lance of Longinus.
