Present

Formerly the military headquarters of the Atlantic Federation, Cape Town was captured by the Guild after several attacks. The base is in rough shape from a hellish bombardment from the stolen Bandaal-class ship Bludgeon, and will require a lot of work to get into working order once again. After a substantial amount of cash was funneled into the maintenance of the base, it is once again fully operational with a vast number of fixed defenses and mines to keep the installation safe, and a large airfield to handle everything from airborne mobile suits to ships. A memorial to all those who have fallen in service of the Guild exists in the center of the base, with the names of the deceased engraved on the side.

Past

Once again the military headquarters of the Atlantic Federation, Cape Town was recently recaptured in a lightning attack by a combined force of Atlantic Federation troops and independent operators. With the recent destruction of all other ZAFT bases in South Africa, the Atlantic Federation immediately took a large chance and sent everything it could spare through the Red Sea, and hastily fortified the base with a force of both mobile suits and static defenses. The basic repairs were completed in record time, thanks to assistance from the happy local citizenry, and while the base is still not at 100% operating capacity, it forms the potential nucleus of an effort to secure South Africa against ZAFT depredations for good.

Formerly the headquarters of the Atlantic Federation, a massive ZAFT aerial operation seized the base as part of a combined arms push from stolen bases in Madagascar intended to take over all of Africa south of the equator. The Federation forces were routed in the end, but due to the large numbers of casualties inflicted on the ZAFT attack forces – more than half of their attacking mobile suit force was damaged or destroyed – the capture operation was badly blunted.

The Cape Town base was rather badly damaged during the attack, but a last-minute diversion of a large number of ZAFT amphibious mobile suits turned the tide and allowed ZAFT commandos to storm the command center, ordering the rest of the facility to stand down. As a result, most of the base is either damaged or abandoned, and its great size is very misleading due to the rather small number of structures and facilities ZAFT has repaired or otherwise returned to service.

The areas around the submarine pens have been restored to operational capability, and most of the action around the base is clustered in that region. Though the base is well fortified with a perimeter wall, ZAFT forces have established defenses within the interior of the base, preferring to use the bombed-out structures on the perimeter as obstacles and something of a literal maze to surprise and confound attacking forces as GINNs and captured Daughtresses emerge from behind wreckage to ambush disoriented invaders. The heavily fortified and partially subterranean spaceport, housing a number of HLV silos, was almost unscratched by the ZAFT attack, and its control center has been reorganized into the base’s effectual headquarters. Underground tunnels and concrete trenches run from the HLV base to the submarine pens, allowing most activity to go on unseen from ground level.

Presently, ZAFT primarily utilizes the stolen Cape Town base to launch further suppressive attacks into the jungles and foothills of South Africa, as well as a forward base for its Vosgulov attack submarines to stage raids deeper into the Atlantic.

Present: Recently, the base suffered an attack from Atlantic Federation operatives, however its minor losses are greatly offset by the recent reinforcement of the sole ship surviving the Black Wing’s attack on the Operation Lilium fleet; the Zelman.

Assaulted again by an AF led coalition of mobile suits, Cape Town has been placed on high alert, and is prepared to deploy the Zelman if attacked again.
