Morgenroete
Morgenroete Incorporated (its name is German for "dawn") is a semi-nationalized
military contractor based in the Orb Union, with facilities in both the Orb
Union proper and at the Orb-owned space colony of Heliopolis. Though part of the
neutral nation of Orb, Morgenroete had been secretly collaborating with the
Atlantic Federation in its work on new prototype mobile weapons called Gundams
under the sponsorship of the Sahaku noble family during the Bloody Valentine
War. During construction, Morgenroete did steal intelligence on the prototypes
which was used in their own Astray program, but it cost Orb its space colony of
Heliopolis when a ZAFT commando team entered and escaped with four of the five
G-units built.
Beam weapons, second-generation Mobile Suit Operating Systems, the Lohengrin
positron blaster cannon (later adapted by ZAFT as the Tannhäuser installed in
the bow of the experimental assault ship Minerva), Variable Phase Shift Armor
and the Mirage Colloid cloaking device were all developed at Morgenroete either
entirely or in part during the war or immediately after, partly under the aegis
of chief designer Erica Simmons. More esoteric technologies were also developed
at Morgenroete under the aegis of the Sahaku twins, including energy-draining
weaponry.
Terminal
Terminal is an non-government affiliated organization which exchanges
information with all parties, as well as performing some degree of intelligence
evaluation. Although it can viewed as a benevolent underground organization, it
seems to be simply a guild of information dealers.[1] While spear-headed by the
Clyne Faction, Terminal has kept a low profile and remained neutral throughout
the most of the second war. Terminal's agents operated all over the world and
its information capabilities rival that of a national intelligence agency
although much of their organization and operation still remains known. The only
base known to be controlled by Terminal is a mobile suit factory & base hidden
in an asteroid in a debris field.
Martius Arsenals (MA)
A company based in the PLANTs of Martius City which develops and produces
weapons for the ZAFT forces. MA is the creator of the heavy swords used by the
ZGMF-1017 GINN, ZGMF-515 CGUE and variations of each respective mobile suit, and
later goes on to reproduce the beam sabers and beam rifles used by the Earth
Alliance's prototype mobile suits for use by ZAFT's own mobile suits.
Maius Military Industries (MMI)
A company based in the PLANTs of Maius City, where the ZGMF-1017 GINN was first
placed into production, which develops and produces weapons for the ZAFT forces.
MMI specializes in machine guns, railguns, and Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS).
Adukurf Mechano-Industries
A company specializing in the development of large scale mobile armors. It is
run by a wealthy and mysterious industrialist known as Matias Adukurf who is
associated with the Earth Alliance and Logos. The mobile armors created by this
company, such as the YMAF-X6BD Zamza-Zah and the GFAS-X1 Destroy, are huge and
powerful machines which bear little resemblance to the earlier Moebius series
World Security Treaty Organization (WSTO)
A new international organization created by the Atlantic Federation after the
fall of Junius Seven. Although the World Security Treaty Organization is
nominally separate from the Earth Alliance, and concerned mainly with disaster
relief in the wake of the Break The World incident, the terrestrial nations that
join this organization effectively become allies of the Atlantic Federation and
members of the Earth Alliance. The following nations were all members of the
World Security Treaty Organization at its inception: Atlantic Federation,
Eurasian Federation, Republic of East Asia, United States of South America,
South African Union, Orb Union, Kingdom of Scandinavia and the Equatorial Union.
Only the Oceania Union and African Community refused to join and remained loyal
to the PLANTs.
GARM R&D
GARM R&D(Genetic Advanced Reproductive Medical Research & Development) is a
research institute based at the space colony Mendel, which was once a leading
specialist in Coordinator production and was thus targeted by the radical
anti-Coordinator group Blue Cosmos. The GARM R&D facility was abandoned, along
with the Mendel colony, following a biohazard outbreak in C.E. 68.
