The Garencieres is a space freighter featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn novel, its OVA adaptation and the television re-cut. It was used by the Neo Zeon movement known as "Sleeves" and was captained by Suberoa Zinnerman during the Third Neo Zeon War.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A space cargo ship. The ship can operate both in space and in Earth's atmosphere. It is also capable of atmospheric exit and re-entry. On the outside it is a cargo ship of the civilian company "Rivacona Cargo"; this is however a front for its true affiliation to "The Sleeves". It has the capacity to carry the bulky NZ-666 Kshatriya, several AMS-129 Geara Zulus, a Skiure, and even carry a Base Jabber externally on the side hatch. When in combat, the bridge can be lowered and a full panoramic spherical ceiling, akin to post-OYW MS cockpits, which covers the entire bridge crew and their stations.

Armaments[]

Since the Garencieres is a cargo ship, it does not have any armament. The side hatch can hold a Geara Zulu in place to act as a turret that has easy access to a wide assortment of MS weapons of previous conflicts and the dorsal hatch is capable of mounting a Skiure in position to act as a powerful beam turret operated by a different Geara Zulu.

History[]

A space freighter belonging to the Sleeves. The Garencieres can carry four mobile suits, and it has the ability to enter the atmosphere and fly under gravity as well as enter orbit under its own power, operating as a means of transport between Earth and space. It is more or less unarmed, relying on its carried mobile suits for self-defense. Its captain is Suberoa Zinnerman. Disguised as a civilian transport ship, the Garencieres visits the space colony Industrial 7 to carry out a special mission to retrieve the mysterious Laplace's Box. Unbeknownst to them, Princess Mineva Lao Zabi stole aboard, hoping to reach Cardeas Vist before they could. En route, the Garencieres is tailed by Federation Clop-class cruiser, which launched three Jegans to intercept. Marida Cruz sortied in her NZ-666 Kshatriya to deal with the Jegans while the Garcencieres outran the more powerful Federation vessel.

After that, the Garcencieres made it to Industrial 7. While docking, Mineva slipped out of the ship and tried making her way to the Vist family mansion. En route, the Sleeve crew attempted to recover her but were prevented by one of the colonists, Banagher Links. At the same time, one of their AMS-129 Geara Zulus, out on recon, spotted a large formation of Londo Bell mobile suits surrounding the colony.

Believing one had spotted him, the Sleeve pilot destroyed one RGZ-95 ReZEL in a headlong attack before becoming surrounded, then destroyed by the other, far more advanced mobile suits. Marida detected his dying thoughts while waiting in the Garencieres, and the decision was made to force their way to through the colony and find Zinnerman, already in a meeting with Vist.

After escaping Industrial 7, the Garencieres was instructed by Captain Full Frontal to locate the Nahel Argama, the famed ship that was carrying the supposed key to Laplace's Box; the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. They were able to accomplish this by tricking the Nahel Argama into firing on a derelict Salamis-class cruiser, exposing their location amidst the colony debris and allowing Full Frontal to attack Nahel Argama.

The Garencieres did not play an active role during the Battle of Palau, but the crew witnessed a heated fight between Marida Cruz and Banagher Links, observing a psycho-monitor placed on the latter mobile suit. After Marida was nearly killed by the Unicorn Gundam, both pilots and their mobile suits were taken onto the Nahel Argama.

Full Frontal observed the data coming from the Unicorn and determined the next set of coordinates for the La+ program would be found in the LaPlace ruins. The Garencieres tailed the Nahel Argama to the ruins in support of Full Frontal's planned operation

Gilboa Sant, the primary pilot of Garencieres, realized most of the Nahel Argama's mobile suits were deployed to protect the Unicorn Gundam and volunteered to recover Marida while the vessel was ill-defended. However, he ran headlong into Banagher and revealed his intentions, causing the Nahel Argama's suits to return and preventing the rescue operation. Captain Zinnerman then ordered Gilboa to assist in the recovery of Full Frontal's team, which was heavily engaged with the transformed Unicorn Gundam.

Banagher followed Full Frontal into the high atmosphere, firing repeatedly in an attempt to take down his MSN-06S Sinanju. However, he accidentally struck Gilboa's mobile suit in the chest and obliterated the Sleeve pilot. Receiving Gilboa's last thoughts, the resultant shock to Banagher allowed his suit to be sucked into the gravity well.

Zinnerman ordered that they also enter the atmosphere to recover the Unicorn. It grabbed on in the process to protect itself from the heat of reentry. Flast, who was covering as the pilot after Gilboa's death, struggled with reentry and the Garencieres crashed into the desert on Earth. As a result, the crew contacted Earth Zeon remnants and transported the Unicorn to the next set of coordinates for the La+ program, overseeing the Remnant attack at Torrington Base.

The Garencieres participated in a battle against Garuda in attempt to rescue Banagher, Mineva, Marida, and the Unicorn. When the operaction was succeeded, it flew to space to rendezvouz with Nahel Argama. As The Garencieres's energy ran out, Nahel Argama sent the fuel hose to fuel it, but the distance wasn't enough. So the Unicorn uses its psychoframe at full power to pull both Garencieres's and Nahel Argama's hose to be plugged in, therefore the fuel filled cargo ship.

The Garencieres was set on autopilot to distract the Tri-star team from the Ra Cailum, and self destructed itself, while the crew moved to Nahel Argama.

Sometime before the events of Unicorn, a second ship was used by a group of Sleeves, the ship was called "Brind'Amour", it carried the AMX-107R Rebawoo, Worklach's AMX-014 Döven Wolf, a AMX-101 Galluss-J, and a AMX-101K Galluss-K, it was disguised under the company "Wild Rapids Farm", it was later seen during the final battle against the NITRO Lab.

Sometime after the events of Unicorn, The Garencieres junior was built to bring ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor to assist in a battle against Neo Zeong II.
