A Baoa Qu is a space fortress featured in in Mobile Suit Gundam. It was Principality of Zeon's last defense line in the One Year War. 

A Baoa Qu was the Principality of Zeon's largest and most powerful asteroid base. A Baoa Qu was a fusion of two asteroids into one, forming an "umbrella"-like shape; its size is about 33.75km tall and 22.5km in diameter. A Baoa Qu was built in the opposite L2 point orbit, placing it directly opposite from the Zeon Homeland in Side 3. A Baoa Qu provided rear defense, while the Zeon's Solomon space fortress served as a frontline base.

The space fortress served as the Zeon Military Force's general headquarters for their space fleet. It also was used as a mobile weapons production factory. It was the scene of the titanic Battle of A Baoa Qu, one of the greatest battles of the One Year War. Unlike the earlier battle of Solomon, it was a hard-fought victory for the Federation.

After the One Year War, A Baoa Qu was kept by the Republic of Zeon following the signing of the Treaty of Granada. Later, in June U.C. 0087, the Republic of Zeon would hand it over to the Earth Federation's Titans special force, who would rename it the Gate of Zedan. The space fortress was completely destroyed in U.C. 0088 when the mobile asteroid base Axis rammed and broke the Gate of Zedan into two.

Gundam is a long-running Japanese franchise that began in 1979 with the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, introducing giant humanoid mecha known as “mobile suits.” The series revolutionized the genre by focusing on realistic military science fiction, where war, politics, and human drama are central themes. At its core, Gundam explores the human cost of conflict, often depicting battles between Earth-based governments and space colonies seeking independence. The mobile suits themselves—especially the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam—have become cultural icons, inspiring countless sequels, spin-offs, model kits, and video games. Today, Gundam stands as one of Japan’s most influential and enduring pop culture exports, blending high-tech spectacle with moral complexity.
