History
The Gondwana was introduced after the First Alliance-PLANT War. During the Second Alliance-PLANT War at the Battle of Aprilius One, the Gondwana served as the flagship of the ZAFT defense fleet, and mothership of Yzak Jule's mobile suit squadron.[1] Later, it served as the flagship for Yzak's attack on the Requiem stations.[2] When the Minerva was destroyed near the end of the second war, the Gondwana assumed command. Lacus Clyne from the Eternal directly opened a line with the ship to negotiate and end the war.[3]
