Luna II (ルナツー) is an astroid base introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam.

Overview

Luna II is an astroid base located at Lagrange point 3.

History

Originally a mining asteroid, Luna II was first known as Juno and used for the construction of the space colonies. Eventually Luna II became the headquarters of the Earth Federal Space Force in UC 0060. In UC 0070, the base was moved to L3 to help in constructing the new Side 7. Located on the opposite side of Earth from the moon and most of the space colonies, Luna II was rather inconveniently situated for a strategic base. However, after the devastating opening month of the One Year War, it becomes the Federation's last remaining foothold in space. Throughout the war Luna II served as a naval base and staging area for the Federation. Although attacked on occasion, Luna II never saw any large scale battles and remained in Federation hands throughout the duration of the war.

Char's Rebellion

In 0093, Newborn Neo Zeon would launch its Axis Drop Campaign against the Earth Federation. After negotiations at Londenion, however, Char Aznable "agreed" to the ceasefire terms set by the Federation, and a large portion of his fleet departed Sweetwater for Luna II for the agreed-upon disarmament. This was a ruse, however, disguised to allow Neo Zeon to seize a significant portion Luna II's nuclear stockpile for the planned Axis Drop.

Onwards

In U.C. 0096, Luna II serves as the base of the Earth Federation Space Force's special task group ECOAS.
