The Cornelius-class is a tender ship introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technology and Combat Characteristics[]
The Cornelius-class of ship is a tender ship that was developed to support the Earth Alliance's new Archangel-class assault ship. Because they are designed to work together, they bear a strong resemblance, namely in how both class of ships possess two bow sections that each contain a hanger. Additionally, the two ships can easily connect their bow sections to each other, allowing for easy and rapid resupplying of the Archangel-class. Only a small number of Cornelius-class ships have been confirmed to exist; there are at least three, possibly as many as five including the Re.H.O.M.E., which was acquired and substantially modified by the Junk Guild. On at least four occasions, the Atlantic Federation is shown to have deployed one or more standard Cornelius-class ships.
History[]
The Cornelius-class was a tender ship for the Earth Alliance's new Archangel-class assault ship, but their production number is unknown. One Cornelius-class was abandoned during the destruction of Heliopolis. This ship was then salvaged by unknown parties and eventually sold to a Junk Guild team, who then modified it into the Re.H.O.M.E.. Another Cornelius-class was later deployed to resupply the Archangel as part of the Alliance's 8th Space Fleet, shortly before its destruction.[1] A Cornelius-class was subsequently seen landing at the Earth Alliance's Ptolemaeus Lunar Base, where the Dominion was being prepared for launch.[2] However, it is unclear if this ship is the same as the one resupplying the Archangel, as it is uncertain if that ship was destroyed when Le Creuset Team defeated the 8th Space Fleet. Two Cornelius-class were then seen resupplying the 6th and 7th Space Fleets following the destruction of Boaz.[3] Again, it is unclear if either of them is the same ship that appeared previously with the 8th Fleet or at Ptolemaeus.
