| While North Africa is part of the Earth Federation, most of South Africa is part of Neo Zeon. This caused much friction, so a large wall now separates the two factions. It is mainly jungles, though North Africa has some deserts. Kilimanjaro | 0 | 0 | | | A barren wasteland only filled with Anaheim Electronics' research facilities. Well, those and a colony that fell at a low enough velocity that it only broke the ice. Lights have been seen within the powerless colony...
| 0 | 0 | | | Asia is once again the site of conflict. It has been severely devastated after both the Fifth Luna and Axis drops. Laoho | 0 | 0 | | | Australia has gone from vacation spot to an area only civilians can go to. In UC 0095, Australia closed its borders to all military personnel and their families from both Neo Zeonand the Federation. Only political figures and civilians may enter Australia. In fact, the entire coastline is lined with large 880mm anti-warship cannons and 88mm anti-air cannons.
| 0 | 0 | | | Split once again, Europe has become much like Africa. Eastern Europe is controlled by Neo Zeon sympathizers and Western Europe is with the Federation. London, Odessa, Belfast | 0 | 0 | | | North America, specifically the American Midwest, was the target of the colony drop during the destruction of 01-01. North America's military strength still lies within the United States' armed forces. California Base | 0 | 0 | | | Flooding due to environmental changes caused many cities to sink beneath the Amazon. Now, South America is split in half due to the river.

| Built like a tube, the O'Neill-class cylinder is very efficient. While each one can house 500,000-750,000 people, they are quite expensive. They are located past the moon and encirle the Earth. Occasionally, a colony will get caught in the Moon's orbit and drift towards Earth.
| 0 | 0 | | | A former mining asteroid, originally known as Juno and used for the construction of the space colonies, that became the headquarters of the Earth Federation Space Force in UC 0060, Luna II serves as a naval base and staging area for the Federation. In UC 0070, the base was moved to L3 to help in constructing the new Side 7. During the One Year War the asteroid became the last Earth Federation's base in space. Its status makes it a tempting target for attack by pro-space sympathizers. Neo Zeon raided and destroyed some of it. Almost all of the ships that were inside survived the raid but everything were repaired by sometime in UC 0090. Luna 2 was later rebuilt and improved on and remained as Earth Federation space headquarters.
| 0 | 0 | | | The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and is the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite in the Solar System relative to the size of its planet, a quarter the diameter of Earth and 1/81 its mass, and is the second densest satellite after Io. It is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face; the near side is marked with dark volcanic maria among the bright ancient crustal highlands and prominent impact craters. It is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although its surface is actually very dark, with a similar reflectance to coal. Its prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have since ancient times made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, the calendar, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day. The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth, causes it to be the same size in the sky as the Sun—allowing the Moon to cover the Sun precisely in total solar eclipses. Line Ark, Von Braun | 0 | 0 | | | One of three asteroids that the Principality of Zeon used as staging points. It is located at L5. On December 24, U.C. 0079, a massive battle was fought here, resulting in the death of Dozle Zabi. Also, the EFSF (Earth Federation Space Force) used their prototype mass-destruction weapon - the Solar System - during the battle to fight against Zeon. Shortly thereafter, the Earth Federation secured it and renamed the captured base Konpei Island. In U.C. 0083, Zeon ace Anavel Gato used the RX-78GP02 Gundam Physalis to attack the naval review at Konpei with an MK-82 nuclear warhead, destroying or crippling 1/3 of the Federation's naval forces that took part in it. However it still remained a major Earth Federation space base after Operation Stardust, rivalling Luna II.
| 0 | 0 | | | One of three asteroids that Zeon used as staging points. On the last day of U.C. 0079 a massive battle was fought here, resulting in the deaths of both Gihren Zabi and Kycilia Zabi. The Zeon surrendered shortly thereafter. Later, the Republic of Zeon transferred A Baoa Qu to the Titans, who renamed it Gate of Zedan, and used it as their headquarters until it was rammed and damaged by the much larger asteroid Axis. After the war the Federation rebuilt it and became one of the bases that rivalled Luna 2.

| Cerberus Hemisphere is a part of Mars' geography and refers to the area approximately of Latitude: 20° South to 55° North and Longitude: 150° to 230°. It is an area that is uninhabited.
| 0 | 0 | | | Cydonia is a region on the planet Mars, and has attracted both scientific and popular interest. The name originally referred to the albedo feature (distinctively coloured area) that was visible from Earthbound telescopes. The area borders plains of Acidalia Planitia and the Arabia Terra highlands.
The area includes the Mars regions: "Cydonia Mensae", an area of flat-topped mesa-like features, "Cydonia Colles", a region of small hills or knobs, and "Cydonia Labyrinthus", a complex of intersecting valleys. As with other albedo features on Mars, the name Cydonia was drawn from classical antiquity, in this case from Kydonia, a historic polis (or "city-state") on the island of Crete.
Cydonia contains the "face on Mars" feature — located about half-way between Arandas Crater and Bamberg Crater The ESA "skull" formation is a few kilometres south of the "face." There is a Neo Zeon base known as the Monolith that is built into a mountain.
| 0 | 0 | | | Elysium Planitia is the second largest volcanic region on Mars, after Tharsis Montes. It is centered at 2.0°N 155.0°E. It includes volcanoes, from north to south, Hecates Tholus, Elysium Mons and Albor Tholus. Another large volcano, Apollinaris Mons, lies south of the others. Besides having large volcanoes, Elysium Planitia has several areas with long trenches, called fossa or fossae (plural) on Mars. It is the second most populous region, only after Tharsis.
| 0 | 0 | | | The Tharsis region on Mars is a vast volcanic plateau centered near the equator in Mars’ western hemisphere. The region is home to the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, including the three enormous shield volcanoes Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascraeus Mons, which are collectively known as the Tharsis Montes. The tallest volcano on the planet, Olympus Mons, is often associated with the Tharsis region but is actually located off the western edge of the plateau. The name Tharsis is the Greco-Latin transliteration of the biblical Tarshish, the land at western extremity of the known world. It is the capital of the Martian Empire. It is also known for the elite soldiers the Tharsisian Academy trains.
| 0 | 0 | | | Valles Marineris (Latin for Mariner Valleys, named after the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter of 1971–72 which discovered it) is a system that runs along the Martian surface east of the Tharsis region. At more than 4,000 km long, 200 km wide and up to 7 km deep, the Valles Marineris rift system is the largest known canyon, surpassing all canyons on Earth, with exception for the underwater deep rift valley that runs the 16,000 km length of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Valles Marineris is located along the equator of Mars, on the east side of the Tharsis Bulge, and stretches for nearly a quarter of the planet’s circumference. Most researchers agree that Valles Marineris is a large tectonic "crack" in the Martian crust that formed as the crust rose in the Tharsis region to the west, and was subsequently widened by erosional forces. However, near the eastern flanks of the rift there appear to be some channels that may have been formed by water or carbon dioxide. There are over seven hundred cities within the walls of the canyon. In the bottom of the canyon is the only way to get from Mars to Earth: the Uerenbeck Catapult. There are multiple portable catapults in the Earth Sphere. The Uerenbeck Catapult in the Valles Marineris is the only permanent one.

| Overwatch is Neo Zeon's main battle station in space. It is positioned on an asteroid brought to Mars's orbit. It houses most of the Neo Zeon fleet and their computer networking hub. It is heavily defended so an attack would not be recommended.
| 0 | 0 | | | Phobos is the larger and closer of the two moons of Mars, the other being Deimos. Both moons were discovered in 1877. With a mean radius of 11.1 km, Phobos is 7.24 times as massive as Deimos. It is named after the Greek god Phobos (which means "fear"), a son of Ares (Mars). It has a large fortress for the Neo Zeon's testing of new mobile suits.
| 0 | 0 | | | Deimos, like Mars' other moon Phobos, has spectra, albedos and densities similar to those of a C- or D-type asteroid. Like most bodies of its size, Deimos is highly non-spherical with dimensions of 15 × 12.2 × 10.4 km. Deimos is composed of rock rich in carbonaceous material, much like C-type asteroids and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. It is cratered, but the surface is noticeably smoother than that of Phobos, caused by the partial filling of craters with regolith. The regolith is highly porous and has a radar estimated density of only 1.1 g/cm³. The two largest craters, Swift and Voltaire, each measure about 3 kilometres across. It houses what is called the "Graveyard." The Graveyard is where failed projects are sent to and sealed in titanium coffins.
