Technical and Historical Notes

The Bandaal was part of the 36th Regiment, under the command of Captain Kazov.  Little else is known about the Bandaal before it was recruited by the Frost brothers in an attempt to recapture The Eighth Base, a Space Cruiser Production Facility, from a group of Space Revolutionary Army Agents.  Garrod Ran and the Freeden crew had contacted the Agents with the help of Ennil El, and were attempting to get Garrod to the Space Colonies.  

When the Eighth Base came under attack by the Bandaal, the Freeden crew and her Gundam protectors rushed to the defense, hoping to ensure Garrod's safety.  As the Bandaal prepared to launch an attack that would destroy the Cruiser Garrod was aboard, the Freeden crew drove their ship into the Bandaal, destroying the Freeden and the Bandaal in the process.  The crew of the Freeden managed to escape, and Garrod proceeded safely into orbit towards his eventual rendezvous with Tiffa.

[1] Destroying the Main Bridge or Communications Array will deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting.  The ship can still operate, but is -3 on Initiative and -3 to strike.

[2] Depleting the MDC of the Main Hull will put the ship out of commission.  The airlocks, and Hangar Doors will still operate on Manual.  Emergency lighting will activate, throught out the ship, in the event of main power failure.

[3] Depleting the MDC of any of the Hover Pods will disable the ships ability to move.  If the ship is over water (or snow/ice), it will still rest on the surface, however, and is capable of limited movement. (10kph max)
