The Three Ships Alliance is a faction introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Overview[]
Organization[]
The Three Ships Alliance is a conglomerate alliance of several groups created amidst the chaos during the latter part of the First Alliance-PLANT War, to end the escalating tension between Naturals and Coordinators. As its name suggests, the faction’s primary force is comprised of the three flagships of each group:
- Archangel; the prototype Archangel-class space battleship of the reneged Archangel Corps led by Murrue Ramius. The group was original part of the Earth Alliance military prior to defecting after Operation Spitbreak.
- Kusanagi: the Izumo-class battleship of the Kusanagi Corps led by Cagalli Yula Athha. The crew composed of a remnant of the Orb Union's military force following the Battle of Orb.
- FFMH-Y101 Eternal; the abducted new ZAFT support ship of the Clyne Faction led by Lacus Clyne. The crew composed of dissident ZAFT forces opposed to Patrick Zala's radical faction.
Origins and Ideology[]
The ideology of the TSA was best exemplified by its two spiritual founders: Siegel Clyne and Uzumi Nara Athha. Siegel was a coordinator and previous PLANT Supreme Council Chairman; however, he did not believe in Coordinator superiority over Naturals, but rather advocated for peaceful coexistence between the two, noting that there was no reason to fight as they were all humans. Despite never meeting him, Orb leader Uzumi also held the same sentiments as Clyne and understood well that both Naturals and Coordinators could live in harmony, also being well aware of the radical and increasingly genocidal ambitions of both sides. Both men were wise and wished for nothing more than the war to end and peace be restored, thus they both symbolized the third voice in the war: peace and understanding. Despite both men being martyred (Siegel was assassinated by Patrick Zala's agents while Uzumi sacrificed his life in the self-detonation of the Kaguya Mass Driver), their teachings and beliefs were inherited by their loved ones, allies, and followers, thus forming what would become the Three Ships Alliance.
History[]
The Beginning - Theft of the Freedom Gundam[]
After nearly being killed in battle against his childhood best friend Athrun Zala piloting the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, Kira Yamato was brought to Lacus Clyne in the PLANT Colonies, with the help of Reverend Malchio, so he could safely recover.[1] However, when her father, Siegel Clyne, received a call from Eileen Canaver about Patrick Zala's true intended target of ZAFT's Operation: Spitbreak - that their target was the Earth Alliance's Alaskan headquarters JOSH-A, rather than the expected target of Panama Base and its mass driver "Porta Panama" - Kira desired to return to Earth to save his friends aboard the Archangel stationed at JOSH-A. To fulfill his need, Lacus provided him the means to fight and protect by entrusting him with the newly constructed ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. With it, Kira escaped the PLANTs and descended to Earth.[2]
The Archangel's Defection[]
At JOSH-A, the Archangel discovers that the Atlantic Federation created and armed a large Cyclops System directly beneath the base and used both the Archangel and the remaining Eurasian forces as live bait to lure the incoming ZAFT forces into the base, where the Atlantic Federation will activate the system and self-destruct the base to decimate at least 80% of ZAFT forces. However, prior to the system's detonation, the Freedom intervenes in the battle taking place at JOSH-A and rescues the Archangel from imminent destruction. From there, both the Freedom and the Archangel retreat away from the battlefield as the base self-destructs, destroying a majority of ZAFT's forces and the Eurasian forces in one blow. With Kira reunited with the Archangel and in light of the Earth Alliance's betrayal, the Archangel sought refuge at Orb.
Birth of The Clyne Faction[]
In reaction to the events at JOSH-A and the theft of the Freedom which did not go unnoticed, Patrick Zala orders an extensive manhunt for the arrest and/or persecution of Siegel and Lacus Clyne. He also restrains several PLANT committee members believed to be associates, advocates, or informants of the Clynes. At this time, Athrun returns to the PLANTs and meets with his father, who informs him of the theft of the Freedom aided by Lacus, and that he had launched a manhunt for her and her father for treason. He assigns Athrun with the task of recovering or destroying the stolen Freedom and eliminating all persons and places associated with it, by providing him with the Freedom's sister unit, the ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam.
Prior to his departure, however, Athrun visited the Clyne mansion in hopes of meeting with Lacus to hear her side of the story. He later discovers her Pink Haro, which led him to the first concert hall that Lacus ever performed in, and also where she was being hidden. Confronting her on stage at gunpoint, Lacus divulges the reasons for her actions to Athrun and asks why he's doing these things, as a person and a soldier of ZAFT. However, their discussion is interrupted by a squad of agents trailing Athrun to find and kill Lacus. Fortunately, members of ZAFT's military loyal to Lacus protect her against the agents and escort her safely away. As she leaves the stage, she tells Athrun he'll find Kira on Earth, which persuades him to descend to Earth in the Justice and confront Kira.
While events unfolded on Earth, soldiers and personnel loyal and/or in support to the Clynes and their beliefs form a faction opposed to Patrick Zala's methods and ideals, later named the "Clyne Faction". While moving the Clynes safely across the PLANT colonies, they promote a platform promoting diplomacy and peaceful coexistence in contrast to Patrick Zala. Lacus uses several media outlets to broadcast her speeches and talks across the colonies. However, during this time, Zala's agents find and gunned down Siegel Clyne, but soldiers loyal to the Clyne Faction continue to aid and help Lacus.
Battle of Orb - The Archangel & the Kusanagi Depart[]
On Earth, with the retaliation of ZAFT in the siege of Porta Panama, the Earth Alliance tries to conquer Orb to gain control of their mass driver to compensate for the loss of their last device at Panama. Aided by the repaired Archangel and the Freedom, Orb forces withhold the Alliance forces and their new GAT-series machines: GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam, GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam, and GAT-X370 Raider Gundam. During the battle, Athrun pilots the Justice into Orb and assists Kira in holding off the Alliance forces. But as the battle progresses, it becomes apparent the Alliance will eventually overtake Orb. To that end, Orb's Chief Representative Uzumi Nara Athha gathers everyone to announce his decision to abandon Onogoro Island. As Orb makes its last stand, Lord Uzumi places some of the Orb forces onto the Kusanagi, along with his adopted daughter Cagalli. As the Earth Alliance attacks Orb's Morgenröete facility, the Archangel and the Kusanagi launch from the Kaguya mass driver into space, with the latter protected by both the Freedom and the Justice. After both ships have safely launched, Lord Uzumi, along with various other Orb officials, detonate both Morgenröete and Kaguya, at the cost of their lives.
While both the Archangel and Kusanagi regroup and depart for the Mendel colony, Athrun asks Kira for assistance in returning to the PLANTs to confront his father on his ideals and plans regarding the war. Leaving behind the Justice, Kira in the Freedom escorts Athrun in an Earth Alliance shuttle to the boundary of Jachin Due.
Theft of the Eternal - Formation of Three Ships Alliance[]
Shortly after Athrun was arrested at Jachin Due for piloting an Earth Alliance shuttle into ZAFT territory, he's brought before his father. He is shot and taken into custody to be interrogated. When the Clyne Faction learns of Athrun's return and his subsequent arrest, Lacus decides to send soldiers to help free Athrun while she and the rest of the Clyne Faction departs from the PLANTs. Led by Andrew Waltfeld, the Clyne Faction abducts ZAFT's newest support ship specifically built to support the Freedom and Justice Gundam, the FFMH-Y101 Eternal. As the Eternal forcibly departs its hangar, it rendezvouses with a ZAFT shuttle carrying Athrun and the Clyne Faction soldiers.
With both Athrun and Lacus safe, the Eternal joins the remaining space forces of Orb on the Kusanagi and the defected Earth Alliance battleship Archangel, at the Mendel colony. Both Freedom and Justice Gundam are soon transferred to the Eternal, which is also equipped with two METEOR support units built for both mobile suits. Thanks to the assistance of Reverend Malchio, the ships are able to make contact with several peace-seeking groups in Orb, the Earth Alliance, and the rest of the Clyne Faction headquartered in the PLANTs. Also, the group receives supplies from a tender ship, the ReHOME, complements of Reverend Malchio and the Junk Guild.
The new rogue faction became known as the Three Ship Alliance (TSA). Their hopes and purpose was to put an end to the war spiraling out of control, as both the Earth Alliance (now under the control of Muruta Azrael and Blue Cosmos) and ZAFT (under the command of Patrick and his radical extremist faction) are willing to commit genocide to the other group, believing it was the only way to quickly end the war.
Second Battle of Jachin Due[]
After the battle at the Mendel colony against the Earth Alliance's new warship, the Archangel-class Dominion, and the subsequent destruction of ZAFT's fortress Boaz using nuclear missiles, the TSA mounted a counter-offensive against the Earth Alliance fleet (controlled by Muruta Azrael aboard the Dominion) approaching the PLANTs to prevent any launched nuclear missiles from striking the colonies. Amidst the battle, Patrick unveiled ZAFT's newest superweapon, GENESIS. After firing GENESIS and destroying the majority of the EA fleet, the TSA split their counter-attack force, with the Archangel confronting the Dominion and the remaining EA forces, while the Eternal and the Kusanagi confronted the ZAFT forces at Jachin Due and GENESIS.
With the Archangel ultimately destroying the Dominion and ending the Alliance's nuclear threat against the PLANTs, attention focused squarely on GENESIS, which Patrick intends to fire at Earth. To prevent this, Athrun and Cagalli in the Justice and the MBF-02+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Rouge respectively, infiltrates GENESIS to disarm it. Kira in the Freedom confronts ZAFT's latest mobile suit protecting GENESIS, the ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam, piloted by Rau Le Creuset. Incapable of disarming the weapon at Jachin Due's control room, Athrun pilots the Justice into GENESIS' core and self-destructed the mobile suit, destroying GENESIS from the inside and prevents the superweapon from firing at Earth. He got off in the Strike Rouge before the explosion after Cagalli talked him out of sacrificing his life as well. Though the Providence was destroyed, the Freedom was badly damaged during the battle, but Kira survived.
The First Alliance-PLANT War came to an end with the help of the Three Ships Alliance, which managed to counteract the threats on the civilian population by the Earth Alliance's nuclear missiles and ZAFT's GENESIS, and put an end to the war in September, Cosmic Era 71.
Post War[]
After the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Three Ships Alliance (composed of the Clyne Faction, moderate elements of the Atlantic Federation, and remnants of the Orb Military), in the confusion of the war's aftermath, went underground, hiding their ships. The crew of the Archangel and the Kusanagi returned to Orb, with many of its members renamed under pseudonyms. While the Archangel and the severely damaged Freedom underwent major repairs in secret, Cagalli filled the position previously held by her late adopted father as Orb's Chief Representative. Athrun, in the face of military persecution based on his actions in the war, resigned from ZAFT and stayed in Orb as Cagalli's bodyguard under the alias "Alex Dino". Kira and Lacus decide to join Reverend Malchio and Kira's adopted mother Caridad Yamato in looking over the orphans at a seaside cabin at Orb in peace.
The Alliance expanded into a moderate military and political non-government organization, known as Terminal. This group was strengthened in numbers and technology thanks to defecting Earth Alliance and ZAFT officers, as well as backing from the Orb Union. It became one of the world's main political and military organizations, spawned for the same reasons as the Three Ships Alliance: to achieve and maintain peace and stability between Coordinators and Naturals. Though not currently leading the organization, the official figurehead of the organization was chosen to be Lacus Clyne. The Eternal was camouflaged within a secret asteroid base while the organization conducted improvements in technology in secret. It also appears that the Clyne Faction used this time to secretly work on new mobile suits aboard the Eternal if there would be a new war.
The Earth and the PLANTs experienced a time of peace from the two years of war, but unfortunately, it only lasted one year.
A New War Begins - Return to the Battlefield[]
Following the events at Armory One as well as the Break the World Incident, the Earth Alliance (under the control of Blue Cosmos and, by extension, LOGOS) declare war against the PLANTs again, thus the beginning of the Second Alliance-PLANT War. In this time, Orb declares its intentions to join the Earth Alliance headed by the Seirans, with opposition from Cagalli as Chief Representative having little effect as well as her being persuaded to marry Yuna Roma Seiran. Also, ZAFT Coordinator Special Forces, under PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal's orders, launch a secret assassination attempt against Lacus Clyne in Orb, but was deterred and eventually prevented by the re-emergence of the restored Freedom Gundam, piloted by Kira. With Orb no longer safe and threats from both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT closely looming, the majority of the Archangel crew, along with Andrew Waltfeld and Lacus Clyne, launch in the Archangel fleeing Orb, while Kira pilots the Freedom to retrieve Cagalli from her wedding ceremony and deliver her to the Archangel for her safety.
The Archangel proceeds to actively intervene in battles to reduce the amount of bloodshed and destruction caused in various battles. Specifically, at the behest of Cagalli, the Archangel has deliberately interrupted battles involving Orb's military. Though their intentions were admirable, their interventionist policies have created tension with both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT and have undoubtably caused chaos in the battlefields. Unbeknownst, in response to the onset of this war, Athrun returns to the ZAFT military and is assigned a FAITH member and the pilot of the ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam on ZAFT's new battleship, the LHM-BB01 Minerva.
Operation Angel Down[]
At a later stage in the war, with the rising conflicts on Earth and the unknown situation with the PLANT colonies, Lacus decides to return to space, escorted by Andrew. Meanwhile, the Archangel and the Minerva joined forces in Berlin and fought together against the Earth Alliance's prototype mobile fortress, the GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam. However, after the battle, because of their interfering that caused losses and damages, ZAFT's command structure ultimately declares them to be an enemy of ZAFT. The Minerva later participated in Operation: "Angel Down", with the objective of destroying the Archangel and the Freedom. During this conflict, the Minerva fired its "Tannhauser" positron blaster cannon on the fleeing Archangel, heavily damaging the ship, while the ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam is able to defeat and destroy the Freedom thanks to the clever tactics of its pilot, Shinn Asuka (with strategy devised by Rey Za Burrel), using Kira's unwillingness to kill. However, the Archangel managed to survive despite being badly damaged, and Kira in the intact Freedom's torso is saved by Cagalli in the MBF-02 Strike Rouge. The Archangel continues en route to Orb, where it is repaired in a secret base by Morgenröete. At this time, Athrun and Meyrin Hawke desert ZAFT in response to Athrun's opposition to the operation carried out against the Archangel. While stealing a nearby ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited and escaping, he is struck down by Shinn in his new ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam and is subsequently saved by Ledonir Kisaka who brings them both aboard the Archangel for recovery.
Elsewhere in space, Lacus assumes command of the Eternal and begins covert operations to discover Durandal's true intentions. It is also during this time, the organization unveils 5 new mobile suits: the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam, the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam, and three ZGMF-XX09T DOM Troopers. As the group begins to unravel the mystery behind Durandal's motives, the Eternal is discovered by ZAFT and is forced to discard its asteroid camouflage, fleeing toward Earth to protect the still-camouflaged Terminal. Kira launches in the Strike Rouge from Orb to aid Andrew in a custom-colored Gaia Gundam and the Eternal. Unfortunately, the outdated mobile suit was no match for ZAFT's current mobile suits. Retrieved by the Eternal, Kira meets with Lacus who presents him with his new mobile suit: the Strike Freedom. With it, Kira easily and successfully saves the Eternal from the ZAFT forces.
Second Battle of Orb[]
With the fall of Heaven's Base and leader of Logos Lord Djibril escaping to the Seiran Estate in Orb, it was clear to everyone ZAFT forces would set their next sights towards Orb. With the Minerva assisting with the attack against Orb, the Archangel resurfaces to protect and defend Orb in response to Cagalli's wishes, as she pilots the ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam inherited from her late adopted father Uzumi Nara Athha's last will. After staving off Shinn and the Destiny long enough for Kira to arrive in time in the Strike Freedom, Cagalli headed to the Orb Defense Headquarters and regained control of its military, while Kira delivered the ∞ Justice (with Lacus as the pilot) to the Archangel and reengages the Destiny. The battle soon escalated with the inclusion of Rey piloting the ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam and Athrun surprising Shinn and Rey by launching in the ∞ Justice, as well as the arrival of the DOM Troopers from the Eternal to help protect Orb. But when Lord Djibril's escapes in the Seiran shuttle into space and the loss of their flagship St. Helens, ZAFT withdraws from Orb territory.
With Cagalli regaining control over Orb as its acting Chief Representative, the Archangel and its crew were formally included into Orb's military. In a broadcast from Orb, both Cagalli and Lacus denounced the intentions and actions of Durandal in this war, while Djibril lands on the Earth Alliance's Daedalus moon base. From there, Lord Djibril had the superweapon Requiem fire at PLANT colony, Aprillius, but due to the battle in the vicinity of the Requiem relay station, the superweapon's beam shot hit Januarius 1 to 4 and December 7 and 8 instead, resulting in deaths of over a million of Coordinator civilians. In response to this tragedy, the Minerva is ordered into space, followed by the Archangel launching toward Copernicus City on the moon.
Battles of Requiem & Messiah[]
Once the Minerva captured the lunar superweapon Requiem and Lord Djibril was killed in his late escape, Durandal reveals his Destiny Plan to both the Earth and the PLANTs. In retaliation to this broadcast, the Earth Alliance forces launch an assault from their main lunar base at Arzachel, where Durandal reactivates the repaired Requiem and fires it at the fleet. Witnessing this event and knowing of the dangers now imposed on Earth, the Archangel rejoins with the Eternal and others to form a last countermeasure against Durandal.
The organization's fleet consisted of: the Archangel; the Eternal; 3 Izumo-class ships - Kusanagi, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi; and several defected battleships from the remaining Earth Alliance forces; and at least 2 Nazca-class and 2 Laurasia-class assault carriers, including the Joule Team. The organization's mobile suit forces were spearheaded by the Strike Freedom, ∞ Justice, Gaia, Akatsuki, three DOM Troopers; and the body comprised of dozens of Murasame, Dagger L, and Windam mobile suits.
While the Archangel engaged the Minerva in an attempt to destroy Requiem's first relay station "Station One", the Eternal and the others launched an assault on Requiem itself. As they approached Requiem, ZAFT's Mobile Space Fortress Messiah, positioned beyond Requiem, charged its Neo-GENESIS superweapon and fired against the incoming fleet. Afterwards, the Destiny and the Legend launched from the Messiah, where they engaged the Strike Freedom and the ∞ Justice, respectively. As both the Strike Freedom and the ∞ Justice defeated their opponents, Kira proceeded to Messiah while Athrun joined with Mu La Flaga in the Shiranui Akatsuki in aiding the Archangel in defeating the Minerva and approached Requiem. The ∞ Justice and Shiranui Akatsuki managed to destroy the Requiem superweapon, while the Strike Freedom destroyed the Messiah. After the fall of Messiah, a ceasefire was called, ending the battle and bringing the conflict of the Second Alliance-PLANT War to an end.
Post Second War[]
With the political reorganization of many Earth nations as well as in the PLANTs due to Durandal's campaigns, the group becomes the leading military and political force. In Orb, Shinn and Lunamaria Hawke are asked to join Kira and Athrun in being mobile suit pilots for the organization. Lacus becomes the new Chairwoman of the PLANT Supreme Council while Cagalli continues her role as Orb's Chief Representative. Both form a treaty to officially end the Second Alliance-PLANT War in C.E. 74.
The Foundation Conflict[]
In C.E. 75, the Three Ships Alliance, now composed of Compass, Orb Union, and the Joule Team, engaged the Kingdom of Foundation's space fleet and rebel ZAFT forces in a fierce space battle, with the Compass battleship Millenium replacing the now destroyed Archangel. The group successfully defeated the enemies, destroying the repaired Requiem and the Messiah wreckage.[3]
