The Junk Guild’s trade was salvaging mobile suits and ships, so it was not surprising that their organization used salvaged equipment. The rebuilt Earth Alliance Marseille III class transport H.O.M.E. served as the base of operations for MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame pilot Lowe Guele, along with his crewmates Liam Garfield, Kisato Yamabuki and the mysterious Professor. The H.O.M.E. lacked weapons, but instead had a series of manipulator arms mounted on the hull to aid in salvage operations. While on a salvage operation in the debris belt, Lowe came under attack from MBF-P01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame pilot Rondo Ghina Sahaku. In the ensuing battle, the H.O.M.E. was forced to enter Earth’s atmosphere while assisting Lowe. Unfortunately, the ship was damaged beyond repair, forcing the crew to switch over to the salvaged land battleship Lesseps. After an extensive search in space, Liam returned with a new mothership for the crew: the Re.H.O.M.E.
