The Sodon is a cruise ship that appears in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The ship has a long cruising range for its size, and is equipped with six large propellant tanks in the rear of the hull. Originally developed as a "space tug" to transport goods between colonies and between geostationary orbit and low earth orbit, it was requisitioned at the beginning of the One Year War and used for armed patrols and supply delivery. It tows and transports MS and other supplies by wire towing.

History[]
During the battle of Luna II, Char Aznable lost his subordinates Matthew and Fix, and the only operational Zaku he had left was his own. The Sodon was used to provide supplies to Char in this state, sending Crown, Kohm, and J.Q., along with three Zaku.
After the defeat at Solomon, the Sodon was used to transport Shin Matsunaga to rendezvous with the Gwazine carrying Mineva Lao Zabi and Zenna Zabi to Granada.[1]
