The SCV-70 White Base (ホワイトベース Howaito Bēsu), also nicknamed Trojan Horse (木馬 Mokuba), is a fictional spaceship from the Japanese science fiction anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. It serves as the mothership of the protagonist Earth Federation crew members and the famous RX-78-2 Gundam mobile suit. Various spin-offs are designed after it, including a whole class of ships called the Pegasus-class assault carrier, and it has inspired ships in the sequels like the Argama-class in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Archangel-class in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.[4]
Other non-Gundam spaceships, such as the transformed mode of Fortress Maximus from the Transformers series, are possibly also inspired by White Base's design.
