The Space Crane Ship was a vessel used by the AEUG to deliver supplies to its ships during the Gryps War. The ships were capable of towing six cargo containers behind them and were armed with a mega particle cannon and a gun turret. In UC 0087, a group of Space Crane Ships supplied the AEUG fleet ahead of an attack launched on the Titans’ Jaburo Base. In UC 0088, a ship commanded by Neo Zeon officer Gottn Goh secretly operated out of the Moon with a plan to crash several ships and trap the AEUG flagship Argama at Granada’s dock. However, civilian spy Cecilia discovered that she had been set up to carry a timed bomb in a suitcase to bring down one of the ships. She hitched a ride on an AMX-008 Ga-Zowmn and instead delivered the explosives to Gottn’s ship, which was destroyed when the bomb’s timer went off.
