The lead ship of the class, the Lesseps, was assigned to ace pilot and ZAFT commander Andrew Waltfeld, the renowned "Desert Tiger", and served as the flagship of his North African occupation force, headquartered in the city of Banadiya.[1] As Waltfeld frequently piloted a TMF/A-802 BuCUE and later a TMF/A-803 LaGOWE in battle, operational control of the Lesseps often fell to his subordinate Martin DaCosta. The Lesseps was abandoned after suffering severe damage at the hands of the Earth Alliance ship Archangel during the Battle of Talbadiya. It was then salvaged by the Junk Guild group around Lowe Guele, who laid claim to the ship, and after encounters with Blue Cosmos and ZAFT, used it to travel to the Orb Union.
