Technology & Combat Characteristics
Developed by the Axis Zeon's engineers post One Year War, the Gwanban-class was a successor to the older Gwazine-class battleships. While the Gwanban-class was smaller, it is well-armed with three mega particle cannons and six single barreled cannons, and can carry 18 mobile suits. The large MS deck at the top, near the bow of the ship, has sufficient space for storing and maintaining a large mobile weapon such as the NZ-000 Queen Mansa or the AMX-002 Neue Ziel.

History
In U.C. 0083, the Gwanban-class battleship Gwanzan served as the flagship of the Axis advance fleet, which supported the Delaz Fleet during Operation Stardust. The Gwanzan also brought with it a mobile armor developed by Axis Zeon, the AMX-002 Neue Ziel, which became the personal machine of Anavel Gato.
During the Gryps War, the nameship Gwanban served as the flagship of the Axis Zeon after the destruction of the Gwadan. During the First Neo Zeon War, Glemy Toto rebelled against Haman Karn and took the Gwanban as his flagship. In the resulting battle, the Gwanban was destroyed, which marked the beginning of the end for both Glemy's rebellion and Haman Karn's Neo Zeon movement.
