Fort Vought is the collective name for the complex of fortifications and the naval facility existing at the scenic Puget Sound in the northwest United States. With most of the California coast destroyed by colony drops that toppled the Old Earth Federation in the UC 150s, Fort Vought was the main naval installation on the west coast of North America for the Earth Sphere Alliance and is retained in this capacity by its successors in the Earth Union. The base is roughly divided into two segments: the defense batteries at Admiralty Inlet, designed to deny enemy naval assets from entering the sound, and the dock facilities themselves that occupy islands and portions of the interior coast. With the deployment of GN-powered mobile suits,

The shore defense installations are split up between three islands (technically two islands and a peninsula) guarding the center and northern approaches, effectively creating a “triangle of fire” for anything attempting to move through the inlet into the sound. Each of the three island forts are protected by a thick seawall and several large-size GN beam cannons, providing long-range bombardment capability to targets far offshore. Lesser emplacements are stippled throughout the forts to provide local defense. Space between the islands is less than three miles, a very short flight for mobile suits that happen to be in the area of an enemy incursion.

The dock facilities, airfield and base proper are located deeper in the sound along the southeastern shore, enabling even the largest naval vessels to be serviced. Due to the rapid increase in ground altitude thanks to the gently rolling hills that dip into the sound, much of the base is built on reclaimed land from the sound, and overall it is of a very oblong shape, hugging the sound’s coast. The airfield juts out on a large artificial peninsula that forms the southern terminus of the installation. Though most of its defensive emplacements are designed to protect against an enemy approaching from the sea, some are retained around the base proper to protect from inland vectors as well.
