Torrington Base

Torrington Base (トリントン基地, Torinton Kichi) was an Earth Federation Forces military installation in Australia during UC 0096. The base came under attack by the Sleeves during the Laplace Incident, demonstrating that even years after major conflicts, Earth remained vulnerable to military strikes by Spacenoid forces.

Facility

Torrington Base served as Federation military installation with mobile suit forces and defensive capabilities. The base represented Federation’s continued military presence on Earth following the First Neo Zeon War and subsequent conflicts.

Laplace Incident

During the Laplace Incident, Torrington Base was attacked by Sleeves forces pursuing the Unicorn Gundam. The engagement demonstrated the base’s strategic value whilst highlighting Federation’s vulnerability to determined Spacenoid assault.

Significance

Torrington Base represented the Federation military installations that maintained Earth defence despite the Universal Century’s primarily space-based conflicts. The base’s involvement in the Laplace Incident showed how strategic locations on Earth remained important even when major conflicts occurred in space.

Behind the Scenes

Torrington Base was created for Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn as site of significant engagement during the Laplace Incident, providing Earth-based location for combat involving the Unicorn Gundam.
