Bellguard Gate

The Bellguard Gate (ベルガード) is a guarded border checkpoint in Crossbell near the western border with Erebonia. The Bellguard Gate is situated across the Garrelia Fortress on the edge of the Garrelia Canyon's precipice.

=== Background ===
Bellguard Gate is directly commanded by the Crossbell Guardian Force's commander. Randy Orlando was stationed here before joining the Special Support Section under recommendation of Deputy Commander Sonya Baelz, after getting into trouble with the commander for his refusal to use a rifle and being discharged as a result.
After the Anniversary Festival, guards from Bellguard Gate are sent to investigate a strange phenomenon in the Moon Temple, but they're driven off by ghosts and fiends. Noel Seeker from Tangram Gate then asks the SSS for help investigating it.
Following the investigation into Gnosis and the disappearance of Revache, Bellguard Gate forces assault the Bracer Guild and the SSS. After being given Gnosis by the commander, misled by Joachim Guenter into thinking it was medical supplements, the entire force comes under his control, same as Revache. The brainwashed forces then chase the SSS throughout the city, before they're able to take shelter in the IBC building.
However, after they plant a bomb to open the gates, the SSS comes out to defend the bank while their allies defuse the bomb, driving off wave after wave of guardsmen (including Mireille), until they're finally surrounded. Guenter then speaks through a guardsman, ordering them to relinquish KeA or be forced under his control with Gnosis, but Arios MacLaine arrives to neutralize the rest of the guardsmen and secure the bank.
After telling them that Estelle and Joshua have uncovered Guenter's base in the Sun Fort, they decide to have Sergei Lou drive the SSS to the Fort in Dieter Crois' armored car to arrest him while the rest stay behind to protect KeA. The car comes under attack of the new combat vehicles of Bellguard Gate, armed with missiles and machineguns that injure the chief, but Noel comes to their aid in a vehicle of her own, taking out one of the controlled vehicles and holding the other at bay while the SSS continue.
Once Guenter has been dealt with, every member of the guard and mafia under his control becomes unconscious, recovering their senses later.

=== Background ===
Following the incident, the former commander was replaced with Sonya Baelz, who moved to Bellguard Gate. Commander Baelz was immediately faced with rock-bottom morale; personnel were simply too traumatized and guilt-ridden to even attempt to take their duties and training seriously. Randy was asked to help rehabilitate the units affected by Gnosis before he rejoins the SSS. After the investigation into the Old Mine and the appearance of the Red Constellation in Crossbell, she notifies the group of the corps' entry from Erebonia.
After the declaration of independence, the CGF reforms into the Crossbell Defense Force, with Commander Baelz still at its helm. The SSS infiltrate Bellguard Gate from the railroad to try and speak with her regarding her support of Dieter Crois, but they're stopped by Noel Seeker, now part of the CDF. Lloyd defeats her one on one, alleging she's become weak for having given up on her ideals to protect Crossbell using the Aions, before being interrupted by the commander.
She agrees to speak in private, telling the SSS that while Dieter Crois remains unchallenged as president the chain of command cannot be broken, and that if Speaker Henry MacDowell were to declare the independence unlawful, the CDF would not interfere further. She also gives Noel permission to rejoin the SSS on their further operations.
