Support ship Eternal - Definition and Overview

In the anime series Gundam Seed, Eternal is a space warship in the ZAFT forces designed specifically to support the advanced ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam mobile suits. In addition to hanger space for them, Eternal also carried their heavily-armed METEOR units on a pair of external docking clamps. It is stolen soon after completion by Lacus Clyne and Andrew Waltfeld, becoming the flagship of the Clyne Faction.

Compared to the two battleships, Eternal was extremely lightly armed, with only a single heavy beam cannon and a battery of missile launchers. Her primary battery, however, was the twin very heavily armed METEOR units and the mobile suits that used them.
