Strength At A Baoa Qu

[abaoaqu]

Do we have an idea of what the battle strength of Zeon and the EFSF was around the time of the siege of A Baoa Qu? The engagement was the most interesting one for me in regard to the One Year War, and I'm trying to garner as much information as I can on the fates of the capital ships and the major pilots and mobile suits. This is what my research yielded as of this point in time:

EFSF

Capital Ships

Pegasus-class carrier White Base: initial gather point for the remains of the Revil fleet; sunk.
Magellan-class battleship Luzal: flagship for the surviving forces prior to the engagement; fate unknown.
Magellan-class battleship Hyperion: supposedly crashed into the station shortly after the murder of Generalissimo Gihren(?).
Salamis-class cruiser Saffron: participated in the siege; fate unknown.
Salamis-class cruiser Cisco: damaged by the Solar Ray; participated in the siege; fate unknown.

Major Mobile Weapons

RX-77-2 Guncannon C-108: piloted by Kai Shiden; sunk while covering a beached White Base; pilot survives.
RX-77-2 Guncannon C-109: piloted by Hayato Kobayashi; sunk while covering a grounded White Base; pilot survives. (He is flying the RX-75-4 Guntank in the TV version, rather than a separate Guncannon.)
RX-78-2 Gundam: piloted by Amuro Ray, "the White Devil"; sunk in combat with Char Aznable, "the Red Comet"; pilot survives.


Zeon

Capital ships

Dolos-class supercarrier Dolos: sunk shortly after Gihren's murder.
Dolos-class supercarrier Dolowa: mothership of Anavel Gato, the Nightmare of Solomon; sunk.
Gwazine-class battleship Gwaden: commanded by Admiral Aiguille Delaz; fled the field after the assassination of Gihren.
Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser Chimera: Kycilia Zabi, commissar of the Mobile Assault Force, attempts to flee aboard her; Char Aznable's assassination damages the bridge and a Salamis finishes the job before the ship can leave the dock.
Musai-class light cruiser(?) Sneakel: implied to have been sunk as the Federation remnants landed on the surface of A Baoa Qu.
Supply ship Jotunheim: commanded by Capt. Martin Prochnow; escapes after the siege.

Major Mobile Weapons

MA-05AD Big Rang: piloted by Lt. Oliver May; sunk as the EFSF overruns the station; pilot survives.
MS-14A Gelgoog: piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Anavel Gato, "the Nightmare of Solomon"; pilot and MS survive.
MS-14B Gelgoog High-Mobility Type: piloted by Maj. Johnny Ridden, "Crimson Lightning"; pilot MIA.
MS-14B Gelgoog High-Mobility Type: piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Erik Blanke; damaged by the RX-78-2 Gundam; pilot survives.
MS-14C Gelgoog Cannon: piloted by 1st Lt. Thomas Kurtz; sunk; pilot KIA.
MSN-02 Zeong: piloted by Capt. Char Aznable, "the Red Comet"; sunk in combat with the RX-78-2 Gundam; pilot survives.

Et cetera

A Baoa Qu: part of Zeon's last line of defense; surrendered to the Federation on December 31, 0079.



Further information on ships and units, if any, would be much obliged. Had the Library of Londonion not gone offline, I could have gained a little more accuracy. I do recall it saying something about a Federation ship having to be self-destructed in order to make a clearing in the enemy line, but not the exact wording.

This list will be subject to revision upon input.

Sigh, I have written, in Chinese, an estimated strength of ABQ from Gundam Officials and MS Igloo sources.

Hope Google translate can help you enough.
Need to wait until weekend before I can do it myself.

Thank you. I'm sorry if I sounded like an idiot.

No, its just me that should have translated it long ago, but didn't.

I translated this quite a while ago for a UC Data dump thread. Mind you, this is in no way official since it compiles quite a few sidestory material sources:

[Gelgoog Jager]

Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser Chimera: Kycilia Zabi, commissar of the Mobile Assault Force, attempts to flee aboard her; Char Aznable's assassination damages the bridge and a Salamis finishes the job before the ship can leave the dock.

According to MSV-R, the Chimaira underwent the additional hangar refit seen on MSV-R, and supposedly it was escorting the Minaret out of A Baoa Qu by the time the war ended, therefore it is not the ship that Kycillia tried to use to escape A Baoa Qu.

Gundam Side Stories (PS3) puts 5 members of the Marchosias team at A Baoa Qu, which include 2x MS-06F, 1x MS-09R2 (Guy Helmuth's unit) with a Giant Heat Sword, 1x MS-06Z (Annerose Rosenheim's unit) and 1x MS-14BR (Vincet Gleissner's unit). One of the MS-06F is killed by amuro Ray while defending the MS-06Z from him. The other MS-06F and the MS-09R2 are destroyed (and their pilots killed) in their last attempt to defeat the RX-80PR/S. The MS-06Z is damaged and its pilot goes MIA, and only Vincent and his Gelgoog are seen afterwards when he opens the cockpit of the RX-80PR/S.

From the 0081 we can observe 1x RGM-79GS, 1x MS-14C in standard colors, as well as the infamous C-203 Guncannon which IIRC was supposed the third Guncannon on board White Base. There are a couple Rick Doms which might be implied to be MS-09RS (either one or both), since the wreckage of the first had a beam bazooka floating next to it and the second unit grabbed said weapon and began using it right away. We also see at least 3x MA-05 destroying a fleet of Salamis and Columbus ships in the middle of resupply operations.

According to MSV-R, 3x MA-05R and 1x MAN-00X-2 also particiapted in the battle, while the profile fo the MS-05Q says that less than 30 MS-05B units were converted into types by the end of the war. 3x MS-14BR (including Vincent's unit and 2 units belonging to the Chimaira Corps) and an unknown number of MS-14C-1A (including one units belonging to Jacbious Node) also participated in the battle and were known as the A Baoa Qu Battle Types. Finally, Kycillia also brought 2x YMS-15E units with her.
