The Zanzibar-class Mobile Cruiser is a carrier utilized by the Principality of Zeon during the Universal Century timeline. These ships are functionally equivalent to the Earth Federal Space Force's Pegasus-class assault carriers, and fill a similar role in the battlefield. It first appears in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam.
The Zanzibar-class aims to maintain a long supply line between Side 3 and the Earth, and is the only Zeon ship that can undergo atmospheric re-entry and return to space. It is designed more like an aircraft than a ship, and is not equipped with a Minovsky Craft System, and in the atmosphere it flies with wings and a lifting body using conventional thermonuclear power. When leaving the atmosphere, it was necessary to wear a booster and use a catapult. In addition, the "Kergeren" of this class has a gravity block installed. A MS catapult is not equipped, so the MS launch on their own from a hatch on the side or bottom of the hull. The mega-particle guns are fixed forward, but the main gun and anti-aircraft guns are retractable.
