Jachin Due

Jachin Due was a resource satellite that was converted to a military space fortress by ZAFT forces.

The First Battle of Jachin Due took place on April 17, C.E. 70, when the Earth Alliance ordered its 5th and 6th fleets, stationed on the moon, to attack PLANT and were intercepted by ZAFT forces from the resource satellite.

After this battle the PLANT Supreme Council decided to convert the entire asteroid of Jachin Due into a defensive base. Jachin Due was perfectly suited for this purpose: the size of Jachin Due allowed for ample construction of command bays and service docks and still being able to withstand massive bombardment; its location, in close vicinity of PLANT, was strategically placed between PLANT and any attacking force.

Later Jachin Due became the base of operations for the GENESIS project, and was eventually destroyed in the Second Battle of Jachin Due.

The word Jachin is the name of one of the mighty pillars of the Biblical Solomon's Temple.
