Class: Agamemnon Ships of the line: Unit type: Manufacturer: Earth Alliance Operator(s): Earth Alliance First deployment: unknown Dimensions: overall length 300 meters; overall height unknown Wingspan: unknown Weight: unknown Propulsion: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown Fixed armaments: 2 x high-energy cannons; many x vulcan gun Mobile weapons: many x TS-MA2 Moebius
Technical Notes:
The Earth Alliance's Agamemnon class battleship is primarily designed to serve as a fleet's flagship. It is armed with high-energy cannons, and its two linear catapults allow it to launch TS-MA2 Moebius mobile armors more quickly than either the Drake class or the Nelson class.
Drakeclass (cost) 40,000
General and Technical Data:
Class: Drake Ships of the line: Unit type: escort ship Manufacturer: Earth Alliance Operator: Earth Alliance First deployment: unknown Dimensions: overall length 130 meters; overall height unknown Wingspan: unknown Weight: unknown Propulsion: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown Fixed armaments: 2 x 75mm vulcan cannons; 6 x torpedo launchers; 4 x 10-barrel missile launchers Mobile weapons: many x TS-MA2 Moebius; many x GAT-01 Strike Dagger
Technical Notes:
The Drake class is one of two main battleship types used by the Earth Alliance during the war with ZAFT. These lightly armed vessels are equipped with two vulcan cannons and several torpedo and missile launchers. Due to its small size, Drake class ships do not feature interior hangars for the TS-MA2 Moebius mobile armor. Instead, the Moebius units are strapped to the outer hull. Later on in the war, this same limitation requires that the Alliance's first mass production mobile suit GAT-01 Strike Dagger be stored in the same manner. Because of its light armament, the Drake class is a soft target that can easily be destroyed by a single mobile suit.
Nelson class (cost) 75,000
General and Technical Data:
Class: Nelson Ships of the line: Unit type: battleship Manufacturer: Earth Alliance Operator(s): Earth Alliance First deployment: unknown Dimensions: overall length 250 meters; overall height unknown Wingspan: unknown Weight: unknown Propulsion: unknown Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown Fixed armaments: many x machine cannon; many x missile launcher Mobile weapons: many x TS-MA2 Moebius; many x GAT-01 Strike Dagger
Technical Notes:
The Nelson class battleship serves as the main vessel of the Earth Alliance's space fleets. At almost double the size of the 130 meter class, the Nelson class is more heavily armed and features an internal hangar to store the TS-MA2 Moebius mobile armor. While this heavily armed ship cannot easily be destroyed by ZAFT's standard ZGMF-1017 GINN mobile suit.
