Three Ship Alliance

This alliance is not a state. Consisting of survivors from the nation of Orb, and rebels from the Earth Alliance and PLANT, the Three Ship Alliance becomes a force helping to ending the Bloody Valentine War. Later, the Three Ship Alliance again becomes active in the Second Bloody Valentine War.

• Sai Argyle [GS] - ex-civilian, Natural; Fllay's fiancé until he gets dumped by her later in the series in favor of Kira. He is in charge of enemy detection and electronic warfare identification on Archangels CIC. Voiced by Tetsu Shiratori.

After the war she is appointed Representative of Orb as a successor to her father. Manipulated by Jona Roma Saran who tries marrying her after the beginning of the Second Bloody Valentine War as an attempt to take control of Orb, Kira kidnaps her with Freedom in the middle of the wedding, and she ends up joining the Archangel's crew again. In the Dardanelles Battle and in the Battle of Crete, she tries to stop Orb's army (by then part of the Earth Alliance) from attacking ZAFT units, only to fail both times; later is given the ORB-01 Akatsuki to replace her Strike Rouge when defending Orb from ZAFT; afterwards when the Archangel was going into space, Cagalli chose to remain behind, but handed over the Akatsuki for Neo Lorrnoke to use.
  • Her name, Cagalli, is named after Japanese word kagaribi(a watch fire or a bonfire).

• Natarle Badgiruel [GS] - Natural; Executive Officer of the Archangel; transferred shortly before its defection (see EA/OMNI section below).

• Kuzzey Buskirk [GS] - ex-civilian, Natural; part of the group of Heliopolis civilians that stayed on the Archangel.

After his parents' death and the anti-Coordinator atmosphere on Earth he moved to PLANT; He is known as "Glittering Star J" because he pilots white colored mobile suits that glitters in the battlefield, and being a Coordinator who fights for the EAF he considered himself a "Joker"; upon seeing a white mobile suit in the battlefield all his opponents are intimidated and lost the will to fight; when he piloted the Longer Dagger in the Battle of Panama, he fought against Yzak Joule and his Duel. When ZAFT activated the Gungnir system Jean's MS was disabled, but Yzak refused to attack a defenseless opponent and left. He piloted a captured ZGMF-1017 GINN and a GAT-01D Long Dagger Fortressa for the Earth Alliance before defecting to the Junk Guild, then piloted an MBF-M1 Astray after joining the Clyne Faction shortly before the end of the Bloody Valentine War. He is the only one in the Bloody Valentine War who has piloted mobile suits from all three major powers.

• Lacus Clyne [GS/GSA/GSD] - ex-ZAFT, Coordinator; daughter of Siegel Clyne, PLANT's Chairman, a very popular idol in PLANT; through a political arrangement, she is originally engaged with Athrun Zala, but later falls in love with Kira Yamato.

• Dearka Elsman [GS/GSD] - ex-ZAFT, Coordinator; originally member of ZAFT and pilot of Buster in the First Bloody Valentine War, he befriends Miriallia and joins the Clyne Faction after being captured by the Archangel. The main reason for his defection was out of protest for ZAFT's new genocidal policies being brought on by Patrick Zala; after the war he returns to ZAFT. The show's director Mitsuo Fukuda admitted that he had Dearka switching sides due to the poor sales figures of GAT-X103 Buster related merchandise. (see also his ZAFT entry below)

After the shock of witnessing her father killed by ZAFT, she starts hating all Coordinators, and tries manipulating Kira by faking affection for him. She was so upset with her father's death that she threatened to kill Lacus Clyne. Gets captured by Le Creuset but is allowed to escape in order to deliver the schematics for the N-Jammer Canceller to the Earth Alliance (this is a vital part of Le Creuset's mad scheme). After a change of heart, she becomes the Dominion's communication officer; in the battle between the Dominion and the Archangel she is ordered by Natarle Badgiruel to return to the Archangel, but dies when her escape pod is shot down by Le Creuset, without being able to really tell Kira how she truly felt about him.
• Shani Andras [GS] - Natural/Extended; Shani is one of the Earth Alliance's three biological CPU pilots, who pilots on the Earth Alliance's latest GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam.

• Lewis Halberton [GS] - Natural; Commander of 8th Fleet, Admiral Halberton is Lt. Murrue Ramius's mentor and sacrifices his life to protect Archangel during atmospheric reentry.

However, there are no any evidence for the belief that she uses a Coordinator OS. In fact, since she pilots a Duel Dagger rather than a Long Dagger, and the only difference between the two machines is that the Duel Dagger has a Natural OS, this would suggest the exact opposite. Initially trained the EA's mobile suit pilots, but was later reassigned as a combat pilot herself; also known by the nickname "Sakura Burst", referring to both her combat style in the Buster Dagger and to a burn scar on her right shoulder

As shown in X Astray, he was spared by the Serpent Tail, and ended up as the commander of Canard Pars.

After months of plastic surgery and image training, Meer began impersonating Lacus to keep PLANT morale high. She eventually believed that she herself was only worth anything as Lacus, and even began referring to herself as Lacus.

• Talia Gladys [GSD] - appointed captain of Minerva, possesses excellent ability and great decision making skills; she is shown sharing her quarters with Dullindal wearing nothing but a bed sheet wrapped around her, which started speculations regarding their relationship. It was reveiled later that they were lovers in the past. Talia told Dullindal that their relationship was over because if she wanted a child, she could no longer stay with him. She was appointed to FAITH, and answers directly to Chairman Dullindal. Talia is later seen with a picture of her son. She dies when the Messiah (Dullindal's space fortress) explodes.

• Shiho Hahnenfuss [GS/GSA/GSD] - elite pilot, wears the red uniform of the ZAFT ace pilots; before joining ZAFT she was doing research on the beam weapon systems on the new CGUE Deep Arms; there were many problems and with help from Yzak she was able to complete the mobile suit; also nicknamed the "Housenka" (Balsam) by Yzak Joule because of her combat skills (since beams are shooting out in all directions like a blossoming flower), and she wears the balsam as her personal mark; piloted the ZGMF-515 CGUE and YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms. Assigned to the Joule Squadron before the end of the Bloody Valentine War, she participated in the Second Battle of Jachin Due and has fought against EAF's female ace pilot "Sakura Burst" Rena Imelia; after the war when Yzak became the youngest member of the Supreme Council Shiho left the Joule squad briefly to fight in the independence war of the U.S.S.A.; after Yzak returns to the frontline Shiho rejoins the Joule squad and pilots a ZGMF-1000/M Blaze ZAKU Warrior. She seems to have romantic feelings towards Yzak, but he doesn't notice them, just thinking of her as a loyal soldier and a trustworthy ally. Shiho wears the male version of the ZAFT uniform, rather than the optional female version.
  • It has been remarked that Shiho was intended to be a tribute to Nami Tamaki, much like how Miguel Aiman and Heine Westenfluss are tributes to TM Revolution. However, Tamaki turned down the role; as a result, though Shiho often appears in crowd or background shots in SEED and Destiny, she never has any dialogue (she does speak in related video games, however). On another note, Tamaki's rejection may have been a blessing in disguise for Shiho, as celebrity voiced characters such as the aforementioned Heine and Miguel were quickly and brutally killed, leaving no more room for future development of the characters. It is now highly improbable that Shiho be killed, as she has developed into one of the more popular SEED characters with her own loyal fan base.

  • Initially, 8 was implied to be the learning computer from Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam; the craft Lowe found 8 in was highly similar to the Gundam's damaged Core Fighter, and its casing has several scratched-out letters, which appear to have been "RX-78". However, this implication is downplayed in Destiny Astray.
• Liam Garfield [GSA/GSDA] - Coordinator (he is a Coordinator with gene modifications while his twin brother is a Natural, since the Garfields wanted to bridge the gap between Naturals and Coordinators); because of his unique background he has a habit of observing the Naturals' behaviors (especially Lowe); a member of the Junk Guild, pilots a customized Kimera and a Works GINN.

Elijah's GINN has great sentimental value, since he used parts from Veia's GINN to repair it; this is why he continued to pilot the GINN even as it became greatly outdated, switching to his new ZAKU only because his GINN was badly damaged.
• Gai Murakumo [GSA/GSDA] - Coordinator; a shrewd mercenary with excellent battle sense and the leader of the Serpent Tail mercenary company, and pilot of the MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame; first meets Lowe Guele at the remains of Heliopolis; he goes where the money takes him, and is friend with fellow pilot Elijah Kiel; nobody knows his past, when he was actually a Combat Coordinator developed by the group "Socius" of the Earth Alliance for combat use.
