Side 8 Poseidon

Side 8 is a Agricultural Colony group located at Lagrange 1 near Earth, It is the only known Side to be mainly a Agricultural Colony, being mostly dedicated to farming. It is also a well known hiding spot for Zeon Remnants in the UC0160s, during its early years.

History
As part of the Federation's 2nd Colony construction project, it was decided upon that the food needs of Earth were not enough to maintain across all 7 sides, so it was decided that a new side. Known as Side 8 would be built. Construction started in UC 0140 with the Gaia Colony. Which is the only hybrid colony amongst the group of 20 or so colonys.

Construction on the second and third colonys was temporarily halted as the Zanscare War began. With the war's end. The 2nd and 3rd Colonys were finished in UC 0159.

At the start of the Section E's war against the Earth Federation Unit, Agamemnon. Colony 03 was used as a base for the Agamemnon. Its relatively innocent nature allowed the ship to remain hidden so as such. It was a headquarters for them.

In UC 0164 4 Colonys were moved from Side 3 to Side 8 to add to the population.
