Combat Characteristics
Despite its massive size, the Godwana only lightly armed with eight dual cannons and further eight cannons. Since the ship was never seen a activly taking part in a battle, it is unknown how the ship would perform in one.
System Features
Since the ship is designed mainly as a carrier for mobile suits, it is able to carry hundreds of mobile suits of different types. These suits can be launched from the 16 linear catapults of the ship. The Gondwana is also able to enter the atmosphere of Earth and decend down to the ground, a remarkable feat for a ship of its size, how the ship is brought back into space afterwards is however unknown.
History
The heavy carrier Gondwana is a massive space warship used by ZAFT, introduced some times after the first Bloody Valentine War. Dwarfing even the battleship Minerva the 1200-meter-long Gondwana is the largest space vessel ever built. During ther Second Bloody Valentine War at the Battle of Aprilius One, the Gondwana served as the flagship of the ZAFT defense fleet, and mothership of Yzak Joule's mobile suit squadron. Later in CE 74, it served as the flagship for Yzak Joule's attack on the Requiem stations.
Trivia
The Gondwana is named for one of the two supercontinents which was formed after the breakup of Pangaea.
