Federation Space Forces Fleets [U.C.0080~U.C.0090]

[Deacon Blues]

Hi All,

Instead of keeping this locked in my data dump topic, I felt it was better to flesh this out and discuss the fleet organization and try and clear up the mess that this Data Gundam chart is. I managed to do a little digging for some of the sources in this list. Primary ones are 0083, Z Gundam and Gundam Sentinel, which we all know, but there are some oddities thrown in here.

For those curious:

(E) - Earth
(N) - New Descides
(A) - AEUG
(T) - Titans
(Z) - Zeon

While duly copying this list into my Gundam gaming files, I noticed a few things which seemed anomalous. I know you are just the scribe, but I ask for the sake of confirmation.

Mont Blanc: I presume this is its first posting, with an eye to establishing a back-story role for its Zeta Gundam finale?
Stallion, Il Nido, Centaur: My, three more Pegasus-class ships! Where did they come from?
Nahal Argama: Its first date of service is in February of 0087?!?
Dogos Gear: I am fairly certain it is active in Zeta Gundam well in advance of February 0088 IIRC it is in operation about June 0087.

In general, there are a lot more Alexandria & Irish class ships listed than a person might expect. I suppose a lot of these are meant to be special home ships for manga & game stories?

Stallion, Il Nido, Centaur: My, three more Pegasus-class ships! Where did they come from?

They come from the old Family Soft games for PC-98 Advanced Operation (settled in U.C. 0089) and Return of Zeon (settled in U.C. 0092).

In general, there are a lot more Alexandria & Irish class ships listed than a person might expect. I suppose a lot of these are meant to be special home ships for manga & game stories?

Yes, that's quite right.
For instance most of the listed "extra" Alexandria class units come from Haruhiko Mikimoto's manga Ecole du Ciel (except the Mesopotamia, which featured in the MS Collection novel related to the MSZ-009)

[Zeonista]

I am 100% ignorant about Family Soft games, so I will have to accept that one. i don't remember that many new Alexandrias in Ecole du Ciel, so now I must go back and read again!
