The HLV (heavy-lift launch vehicle) was a transport vehicle capable of launching mobile suits into space. It was similar to the HLV used by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War in UC 0079. In June UC 0087, Karaba’ Hickory Base used an HLV to send AEUG pilot Char Aznable and his MSN-00100 Hyaku-Shiki back to space.
