Heaven's Base

An Earth Alliance military base located in Iceland. Following the destruction of JOSH-A during the first Bloody Valentine War, Heaven's Base became the main headquarters of the Earth Alliance Military. It was also used as the headquarters of Logos, at least during the second war.

During the Second Bloody Valentine War Heaven's Base was attacked by a combined force of ZAFT and defected Earth Alliance forces. Before the assault began Heaven's Base was given the ultimatum to hand over the members of Logos and dismantle. The ultimatum was answered by a barrage of rockets, signaling the start of the battle.

The ZAFT/EA forces were met by a powerful defending force consisting of a large number of Windams, Dagger Ls, and old Dagger model mobile suits on the ground and in the air, and aquatic Forbidden Vortex and Deep Forbidden in the water. Heaven's Base also fielded for the first time the new TS-MB1B Euclid mobile armor, based on the prototype Zamza-Zah and Gells-Ghe models. The defense force also included five GFAS-X1 Destroy units. The heavy fire-power of these machines inflicted heavy casualties on the attacking forces, specifically upon the anti-Logos EA ships and mobile suits (conveniently placed near the front of the formation. When ZAFT launched an attack wave from orbit, Heaven's Base unveiled the powerful Nibelung weapon, which sends out a massive energy burst, similar to the GENESIS superweapon, destroying all ZAFT forces coming from above.

However Heaven's Base defense forces began to crumble when the ZAFT warship Minerva launched its Destiny, Legend, and Impulse mobile suits. The three suits quickly destroyed the five Destroy units. The loss of the Destroy mobile suits signified a turn in the battle, prompting Lord Djibril to evacuate. He was the only member of Logos to escape, the rest being captured and sentenced for their crimes.

It is unknown whether Heaven's Base was stripped and abandoned after it fell or if ZAFT repaired the base and continued to operate from it. Of the two possibilities it is the former that is more probable.
