Three Ships Alliance

This alliance is not a state. Consisting of survivors from the nation of Orb, and rebels from the Earth Alliance and PLANT, this alliance becomes the leading force in ending the Bloody Valentine War.

Fllay Allster [GS] - ex-civilian, Natural; the spoiled daughter of George Allster, who by chance winds up on the Archangel and becomes embroiled in the center of the war. After the shock of witnessing her father killed by ZAFT, she starts hating all Coordinators, and tries manipulating Kira by faking affection for him. Gets captured by Le Creuset but escapes to become the Dominion's communication officer; in the battle between the Dominion and the Archangel she is ordered by Natarle Badgerle to return to the Archangel, but dies when her escape pod is shot down by Le Creuset, without being able to tell Kira how she truly felt about him.
Sai Argyle [GS] - ex-civilian, Natural; Fllay's fiancé until he gets dumped by her later in the series in favor of Kira, and Archangel crew member.
Cagalli Yula Athha [GS/GSD] - ex-Orb, Natural; daughter of the President of Orb, and (as revealed near the end of SEED) Kira Yamato's Natural twin sister. Joins the crew of the Archangel during the ship's fight alongside the Desert Dawn resistance movement. She pilots Strike Rouge, and possesses the ability to go into SEED mode. Cagalli's love interest is Athrun Zala. After the war she is appointed Representative of Orb as a successor to her father. Manipulated by Yuna Roma Seiran who tries marrying her after the beginning of the Second Bloody Valentine War as an attempt to take control of Orb, Kira "kidnaps" her with Freedom in the middle of the wedding, and she ends up joining the Archangel's crew again. In the Dardanelles Battle and in the Battle of Crete, she tries to stop Orb's army (by then part of the Earth Alliance) from attacking ZAFT units, only to fail both times.
- Her name, Cagalli, is named after Japanese word kagaribi(a watch fire or a bonfire).

Dearka Elsman [GS] - ex-ZAFT, Coordinator; originally member of ZAFT and pilot of Buster, he befriends Miriallia and joins the Clyne Faction after being captured by the Archangel. The main reason for his defection was out of protest for ZAFT's new genocidal policies being brought on by Patrick Zala; after the war he returns to ZAFT.

After the alliance between the Earth Alliance and Orb, she leaves with the Archangel. In the Second Bloody Valentine War, she and the other crew members of the Archangel have replaced their EA uniforms with Orb Military uniforms.

Following the assassination attempt on Lacus, he leaves Orb with the Archangel. During the first part of the Second Bloody Valentine War he, along with Cagalli Yula Athha and the Archangel, tries to stop the Orb forces (which by then had sided with the Earth Alliance) from attacking the Minerva. In that endeavour, Freedom is eventually destroyed in battle by Shinn Asuka's Impulse. He was able to deactivate Freedom's nuclear reactor allowing him to escape with minor injuries; later takes Cagalli's Strike Rouge into space to protect the Eternal when it is under attack from ZAFT and is given the new Strike Freedom by Lacus Clyne.
- His last name, Yamato, is derived from Japan's historical Yamato period. His first name may have derived from the Japanese word for spark, "kirameki", but is actually a deformed pronunciation of the word 'killer' (since 'l' and 'r' are nearly pronunciated the same way in Japanese).
Athrun Zala [GS/GSD] - ex-ZAFT, Coordinator; pilots ZAFT unit Aegis until losing it in battle against his childhood friend Kira Yamato. He later receives Justice from ZAFT but defects to the Clyne Faction, taking it with him. Son of Patrick Zala, member of PLANT's High Council.

After the Armory One incident re-enlists in ZAFT and receives the FAITH appointment by Chairman Dullindal, along with Saviour to serve aboard Minerva and lead the mobile suit team. During the Battle of Crete, when Kira tries to stop Orb forces from battling, Athrun tries to reason with him to stop him, but drove by anger, Saviour is destroyed by Kira. Later, Athrun is framed as a traitor by Dullindal and Rey Za Burrel and is forced to flee with Meyrin Hawke.
