In the anime series Gundam Seed's manga spinoff Gundam SEED Astray, Rondo Gina Sahaku and Rondo Mina Sahaku were fraternal twins and Coordinators who were members of the Orb Union's nobility. While Rondo Gina was male and Rondo Mina was female, the two looked nearly identical. In addition to their appearance, they also shared the desire for Orb to rule the Earth Sphere. To achieve that goal, they acquired several powerful Earth Alliance mobile suits either by theft or through secret arrangements with Blue Cosmos leader Murata Azrael, and also attempted to retrieve Orb's lost MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame and MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame, an effort that cost Rondo Gina his life at the hands of Blue Frame pilot Gai Murakumo. After the war's end, Rondo Mina dispersed the Sahaku forces, biding her time until Orb had sufficiently recovered to continue her plans.
At their height, the Sahaku family's military forces consisted of the space fortress Amenomihashira (August Pillar of Heaven, named from a Japanese creation myth), the battleship Izumo, the MBF-P01-Re2<AMATU> Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatu, a GAT-X133 Sword Calmity, a GAT-X255 Forbidden Blue, a GAT-333 Raider Full Spec, two GAT-01D Long Daggers, and numerous MBF-M1 and MBF-M1A Astrays.
