Known Members
Laguna Harvey
The president of Linear Trains Industries is Laguna Harvey, a Celestial Being agent. He would later betray Celestial Being, using company resources to secretly develop his own GN Technology to create the GNW Gundam Throne series.
History
Aiding Celestial Being
Laguna's affiliation with Celestial Being is an untold tale. The fact his company provides resources to Celestial Being and related to Aeolia Schenberg's orbital elevator plans suggest his family or at least himself was part of of the secret organization for a very long time. He had Linear Train Industries assist Celestial Being sneaking in materials, equipment, Gundams, and operatives in between Earth, orbital elevators, and various Lagrange points.
Personal Agenda
Much of Laguna's intentions are unknown. It's speculated he wanted more than just wealth, he wanted political influence and/or power. Ribbons Almark and Alejandro Corner secretly was in contact with him to start developing GN-tech based on stolen CB data. The Gundam Thrones Units dispatched in Episode 16 to aid the four Gundam Meisters in the Taklamakan Desert.
Creating Team Trinity
The full history of the Trinity siblings is unclear, however they have been secretly active before the events of A.D. 2307. According to the novelization, the Trinitys are actually the children of Ribbons Almark. Using his own genetic material, he used cloning facilities to give birth to his personal Meister troupe. For unexplained reasons, the Trinitys are fully aware of their creation, but not of their "father". After activation, they were sent to Laguna Harvey, given a spaceship, the Throne Gundams, and various secrets pertaining Celestial Being. The Trinitys began their own interventions and CB stayed away. Laguna Harvey directed the Trinitys giving them missions, information, and resupply.
Destroying Celestial Being
Using the data from the Throne Gundams Linear Train Industries created the GNX-509T Throne Varanus. Alejandro invited Ms. Deborah to a secret establishment, requesting her to be the test pilot of the Throne Varanus. Throne Varanus is the prototype for the upcoming GNX-603T GN-X series. Although the full scope of his intentions are unknown, it appears he's been attempting to gain favor and greater influence over the world by offering GN-Tech to the world. It's unclear why would he destroy his own group, but exterminating the Trinity's seem to be part of his plans. He unleashed the Thrones to cause chaos and then give the world GN-X's to destroy them. Laguna is manipulated by the Innovators into building and selling thirty GN Drive-equipped GN-X mobile suits to the three power blocs.
Death
Ali visited Laguna at the Linear Train Corporation Headquaters, Ali requested Laguna to give him a mobile unit for combat, hinting on the GN-X. Ali never accused or said Laguna was part of Celestial Being, but hinted everything to suggest to him that he knew a lot more than it appears. Laguna wanted to know his intentions and Ali explained he wanted his influence to have him part of regular military as he perceives no future being a mercenary. Ali subsequently left the building in anger, suggesting his request was denied. It was later when Alejandro Corner was hacking Veda that he discovered Laguna's activities and mentions that his actions will be put to an end, the following scene reveals Laguna dead on his office table, shot through the head by a bullet. Later when Ali was about to wipe out the Trinity's, he revealed to them it was he who killed Laguna.
Aftermath
With the death of Laguna Harvey,Team Trinity can't get any resupply or reinforcements. Team Trinity was defeated single handedly by Ali Al-Saachez. Johann and Michael were killed by Ali Al Saachez then he captured Gundam Throne Zwei, Nena was the only Throne Meister left and she took refuge under Wang Liu Mei. Celestial Being can't get any materials, equipment, Gundams, and operatives in between Earth, orbital elevators, and various Lagrange points since Laguna Harvey supply then all.
