The colony drop that pulverized much of Uganda and Somalia served not only to turn Lake Victoria into a giant inland sea but also left a massive amount of high-quality metallic wreckage both below the water and littering the surrounding plains. To take advantage of this bountiful “natural” resource, the Atlantic Federation constructed a large base with provisions for constructing mobile suits. Now known by its Lugandan name “Nalubaale”, the former Lake Victoria installation is the al-Ghazi Brigade’s most reinforced holding in inland Africa.

Originally a large and relatively open base with plenty of tarmac for recently constructed mobile suits to march and drill on, under al-Ghazi’s stewardship the installation has taken on a much more “cobbled-together” appearance. The factories for producing Daughtress-type mobile suits remain, but much of the tooling and equipment has been destroyed or broken down, significantly reducing available production capability. Like many other areas of the base, a number of defensive gun emplacements have been mounted within the wreckage of the ruined factory areas – this arrangement creates for a rather unpleasant surprise when what appears to be a bombed-out warehouse turns out to be a cluster of laser cannons with full rotation and integrated sensors. Some of the original rings of gun bunkers remain, but most of the base’s defenses are now positioned within the interior, creating a perilous maze where close encounters with mobile suits and turrets are almost inevitable.

The Lake Victoria base’s most important strategic role to the Atlantic Federation as a triangulation base for the Mogadishu fortress’ Noventa Cannon was mooted after the destruction of the Lake Nigeria base by ZAFT, and its sensitive and highly sophisticated sensor arrays have long since succumbed to maintenance shortfalls. al-Ghazi has looked toward replacing the facilities, but the lack of a suitable third triangulation point makes such efforts a waste of resources at best.
