Creation
Unit-00 is the first Evangelion completed, and although originally intended as a prototype, due to budget constraints she was upgraded for combat-readiness and she was forced into battle against the Angels.
Purpose
Ostensibly, like all the Evangelions, Unit-00's stated purpose is to defend Tokyo-3 and the whole world from the Angel threat.
Abilities
In addition to incredible size and strength, Unit-00, like all Evangelions, possesses the ability to generate an A.T. Field. Unit-00 does not possess an S^2 organ, and relies on electrical power supplied via its Umbilical Cable, and Internal Batteries. Unit 00 is also seen to possess retro-rockets in its shoulder-fin armor in Episode 10.
Soul
The identity of the soul in Eva Unit 00 was never directly stated.
