Talk to me about the gardens what was their original purpose? We know the Centrans consider them mobile shelters.
We have Balamb, Galbadaia, Trabia, we also know that Fishermans Horizon was originally meant to be a destroyed garden. There's also the deep sea research centre which his built on top of a massive drawpoint. When we get to the bottom of the facility we can draw (the garden of) Eden. It's no coincidence that Eden resembles a Garden in design so we have to conclude that Eden was drawn from the remains of a lost garden, hence the resemblance.

So now we have 5 Gardens, B, G, T, F and E. So the evidence suggests that they were designed to flee the Centran continent before the Luna Cry destroyed it. But if so why was F-Garden destroyed? Did it leave late and get caught in the Cry, suffer technical issues, or did it fall in to civil war in the aftermath, a civil war would certainly explain where the Esther came from and why they isolated themselves. Then there's the mystery of E-Garden, what was it doing so far out? The biggest hint we have comes from its summoning animation, was E-Garden a weaponized mobile shelter, or even purpose built as one, in order to prevent the Cry to begin with. It would certainly explain why it was so far out to begin with and why it was the source of such a massive drawpoint, a weapon of such power needs an energy source. But if so, what could possibly destroy it? Or maybe it was destroyed during a test fire incident...

Is the story that the Centrans created Eden to destroy the moon, failed and used the knowledge they developed to build the mobile shelters to flee the Cry they couldn't prevent. Or are all the gardens capable of such firepower...
