In the anime ''Zeta Gundam'', the '''Argama''' (first of the Argama class), Captain Bright Noah's flagship, is a successor to the original Pegasus-class mobile suit carrier. To that end, the ship is designed to be a mobile suit carrier, and serves as the flagship for the Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG), which fought the Titans and later the Neo-Zeon. ''Argama'' carries five main guns, a heavy Mega Beam Cannon and two twin beam guns, as well as six mobile suits which launched on two catapults. It was heavily damaged and finally taken out of service by the AEUG late in ''Zeta Gundam'''s sequel, ''Gundam ZZ'', and was replaced by the ''Nahel Argama''.

Class history

The ''Argama'' class entered service in UC 0087, as the war between the Titans and the Anti Earth Union Group (AEUG) began to pick up. They were designed as successors to the ''Pegasus'' class ships, incorporating firepower and mobile suit capacity into one ship. Two ''Argama'' class vessels are known to have been built, the ''Argama'' and the ''Pegasus III'', named in tribute to the ''Pegasus'' class. During the first Neo Zeon war, Argama saw several modifications to its weapons and body. After returning to the La Vie en Rose the ship received a more powerful mega particle canon and structural modifications. Also the Argama has a Minovsky Craft System s seen in ZZ Gundam when Argama was given to the Karbala on Earth.
The most famous ship of this class was the ''Argama'', which became the flagship for Bright Noa, and Kamille Bidan's Zeta Gundam. The ''Argama'' saw much action during the Gryps Conflict, and survived into ZZ Gundam, where the mission for the AEUG shifted from fighting the Titans to fighting the Axis Zeon, now under the name Neo Zeon. During this new conflict, the ''Argama'' was upgraded with an extremely powerful hyper mega particle cannon, which was used in a failed attempt to destroy the asteroid base Axis.
