Technology & Combat Characteristics
A third-generation flagship-type battleship deployed by the Neo Zeon during the First Neo Zeon War. It is armed with six twin Mega Particle Cannons, two large mega particle cannons, six missile launchers, and numerous anti-air laser guns, and was arguably the most heavily armed battleship of her time. It has a high mobile suit carrying capacity, and unlike most ship, its main bridge is located midship, above the mobile suit deck. The tower at the rear of the ship is a sub-bridge, which also serves as a dummy bridge.
Thanks to the Minovsky Craft System, the Sadalahn has no problem flying in the Earth's atmosphere. It can also be equipped with the Ballute System for atmospheric entry; this system deploys a bowl-shaped ballute (balloon parachute) to shield the vessel against the devastating heat during descent. The ship also sports a holographic device, with projectors on the extremes of the board, that the charismatic Haman would use to project her image in space and spur her troops on.

History
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
Following the Gryps War, which saw the defeat of Titans by AEUG, now greatly weakened, Haman Karn lost no time in regrouping her forces to take over the entire Earth Sphere. To achieve this, she would repeat what the Principality of Zeon did by forming a land invasion force to seize control of the Federation's strongholds on Earth. A new flagship, capable of carrying Haman and figurehead Mineva Lao Zabi to personally supervise the operation and later officiate at the ensuing ceremonies on Earth, was commissioned — the Sadalahn.
Although not completed until after the start of the First Neo Zeon War, the Sadalahn was still finished in time to take part in the early days of the war, and used as the flagship leading the invasion of Earth. Little was known about the fate of Sadalahn after it became one of the few Neo Zeon warships to have survived the collision of the asteroid Axis and the colony Core 3, an act of desperation from the Neo Zeon rebels led by Glemy Toto before their demise, and was captured by the AEUG support fleet that came to reap the spoils.
Gundam Walpurgis
In U.C. 0089, the Sazadan appears with a Neo Zeon remnants fleet in the vicinity of the Side 2 colony Olympus in battle with an AEUG fleet. It is later sunk when the ship's bridge is destroyed by a beam saber.
A.O.Z. Re-Boot
The Midalahn was constructed by the Zeon Remnants organization Zeon Mars (with cooperation from Axis Zeon) when they still controlled the Mars region. Although it is the sister ship of the Sadalahn, its bottom hull catapult and overall apppearance is similar to the Gwadan-class [1]. The Midalahn became the flagship of Zeon Mars fleet and was commanded by the son of Outlaw Chester, the leader of Zeon Mars. The Midalahn departed for the Earth Sphere in response to Neo Zeon's invasion of Earth. However, the fleet would return to Mars following the civil war that broke out between the Haman loyalists and the Glemy Faction as it was a faction that did not belong to either.
