Palau

Palau is a civilian mining asteroid belonging to Side 6 that was brought into the Earth sphere from the asteroid belt. It was used as a base of operations by "The Sleeves". In U.C. 0096, Londo Bell and ECOAS launched an attack on the asteroid to retrieve Banagher Links and the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. ECOAS first planted a number of explosives that separated Palau's four asteroids, before the Nahel Argama fired a hyper-mega particle cannon attack to seal off the military port. The Federation forces then engaged The Sleeves forces, while leaving the civilian unit unscathed.
