SCV-70 (LMSD-71, MSC-02) White Base
In the Universal Century timeline of the fictional Gundam universe, the SCV-70 (LMSD-71, MSC-02) White Base is a Pegasus-class mobile suit carrier deployed by the Earth Federation. Through the first part of One Year War, the White Base's registration name was unknown to the Principality of Zeon forces, so they referred to her by the codename 'Trojan Horse' (木馬, mokuba, "wooden horse"), presumably because of her unusual equine shape. After the war, she was re-designated MSC-02 even though the ship herself was destroyed at A Baoa Qu.
As a member of the Pegasus-class assault carriers developed as part of Operation V, the White Base's primary function was to carry and support mobile suits. For that purpose the White Base had two hangars, each with a launch catapult, that could each load three mobile suits for a total of six. Additionally the White Base could carry a number of support craft such as Core Fighters or Core Boosters to supplement and support its mobile suits.
For propulsion the White Base relies primarily on its main engines, however when on the Earth's surface the ship can utilize the Minovsky craft system to obtain low altitude flight under gravity without refueling. Unlike Magellan and Salamis classes, with this type of propulsion, the White Base does not require auxiliary boosters to leave Earth's atmosphere. The main body of Pegasus is equipped with a rotating residential section that reproduces full gravity inside even in space, while the hangars can accommodate a large complement of mobile suits and vehicles.
For ship-to-ship combat the White Base is equipped with a two-barrel main gun, 2 two-barrel mega particle guns, and eight 3-tube missile launchers. These weapons give the ship firepower comparable to, if not superior to, that of a Musai-class light cruiser, Zeon's main warship and mobile suit carrier. Also, similar to other Federation warships at the time, the White Base is armed with a number of anti-air machine guns to fight off enemy mobile suits. These armaments combined with its mobile suit complement made the White Base a formidable combatant, as verified by its combat record (although its combat success may have more to do with the power of Amuro Ray and the Gundam).

High-quality items such as precision molding unique to battleships, adoption of molding colors that complement the overwhelming density, a feeling of size that can be lined up with GUNDAM CONVERGE, and various gimmicks. Not only can the front hatch expand on the MS deck, but the side exterior can also be removed. This makes it possible to check the catapult deck. In addition, a dedicated pedestal that can reproduce the floating state is attached. It also supports the separately sold Shokugan Base.
Various guns including the main gun are three-dimensionalized with the gimmick. The main gun and machine gun deployed from inside the armor at the time of use can be reproduced at the time of shooting by replacing the parts on the deck. In addition, the circular hatch with a built-in mega particle cannon can be replaced to reproduce the open / closed state. Parts of the mega particle cannon can be attached when the hatch is deployed.
