The Victoria Base is a Earth Alliance military facility located near Lake Victoria in Africa, introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

Overview[]

Originally built in C.E. 21 as a joint national project of the Eurasian Federation and the South Africa Union by reclaiming part of Lake Victoria, it has a vast area of land. It is the base where the mass driver facility "Habilis" is located and is one of the supply routes to the Ptolemaeus Lunar Base. As such, it was the target of frequent attacks during the First Alliance-PLANT War.

History[]

First Alliance-PLANT War[]

The First Battle of Victoria, ZAFT's first ground invasion on March 8, C.E. 70, ended in failure due to ZAFT's inexperience in ground combat and its failure to take into account ground support only for drop operations. During the Second Battle of Victoria on February 13, C.E. 71, the base fell because the Earth Alliance were unable to suppress the ZAFT offensive.[1] Many of the surrendered soldiers were shot dead by ZAFT.

On June 18, C.E. 71, the Earth Alliance, led by the Atlantic Federation, launched the Third Battle of Victoria, sieging the base with their new mobile suits against the weakened ZAFT forces, which had downsized its African Front for the battles of Alaska and Panama. As the battle shifted in favor of the Earth Alliance, ZAFT attempted to self-destruct "Habilis" Mass-Driver, but failed due to a raid by special forces, and the base was recaptured on June 25.[2][3] The base then became the major means for the Earth Alliance to transport personnel, mobile suits (mostly Dagger type MS), materials, and later nuclear missiles after acquiring the blue-print data of the Neutron Jammer Canceller into space.[2][4]
