Timeline
On this site we follow the Universal Century timeline. The following is a super-simplified version of the last hundred years or so. Dates given are in “UC” rather than “AD” and the count starts from the start of space colonization:
-UC 1: In the near future humanity expands to the stars, building a number of space colonies.
-UC 18: The millionth human is born in space. This number will grow to be 40% of humanity before the One Year War.
-UC 69: After much tension between the earth and those living in space Degwin Sodo Zabi declares himself sovereign and establishes the Principality of Zeon. Only some colonists support them. They quickly gather supplies and amass weapons.
-UC 79- The One Year War: The Principality of Zeon declares war against the Earth Federation (the government at the time) and launches surprise attack. Zeon drops a colony, trying to hit a Federation military target but destroys Sydney, Australia and drastically alters Earth's climate. Many battles ensue but ultimately the Federation is victorious, though Zeon elements still remain. The “Republic of Zeon” is established.
-UC 83: A group of former Zeon disodents launch “Operation Stardust” to try to weaken the Federation by exposing corruption. The Titans, an elite Federation unit dedicated to hunting down former Zeon, is made in response to this.
-UC 85: The Titans use poison gas to suppress a demonstration in a space colony, wiping out the colony's three million inhabitants. Anti-Federation resistance increases as a result, and the Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG) is organized.
-UC 87: The Titans and AEUG fight in what is known as the Gryps Conflict. The Titans eventually join with Neo Zeon (a rebel group of former Zeon members) and try to take over the Earth Sphere. They are all but wiped out.
-UC 88: Axis Zeon forces invade the Earth and nearly rout the Earth Federation but are defeated by the A.E.U.G and Karaba forces ( former EF and Zeon personnel backed by Anaheim Electronics.
-UC 93: Axis Zeon remnants lead by Char Aznable drop the asteroid Fifth Luna on Tibet. The Earth Federation then accepts Char's terms and allow him to but the asteroid of Axis which he then proceeds to load with nuclear war heads and sets it in a trajectory to Earth with the purpose of rendering the planet inhabitable. The Earth Federation task force Londo Bell prevents the drop of Axis under mysterious circumstances.
-UC 106: The Martian colonies break ties with the earth federation and establish a new democratic government of enlightened spacenoid values.
-UC 111: The prototype of the F90 Gundam is stolen from its testing facilities by alleged Mars Zeon operatives. The first Martian conflict begins with the chairwoman of the Martian Colonies declaring they would use a massive rail cannon to defend themselves from the Earth Federation aggression.
Major Technologies
Minovsky Physics: Essentially Dr. T.Y. Minovsky discovered a new branch of physics. First he makes a “clean” nuclear reactor that powers mobile suits and spaceships. His second big contribution was the “The Minovsky Particle” that basically blocks with all sorts of scanning and communications technology. A lot of militaries will spread these out to render that stuff useless.
After the end of the one year war, Minovsky jamming has been banned by everyone.
Newtypes: Those born in space (or who spend a lot of time in space) sometimes enter the next phase of humanity evolutionarily. These people have enhanced reaction times, mental abilities, as well as gaining something akin to psychic abilities. These abilities give them premonitions (often in flashes of danger), can detect each other, and powerful ones can even communicate with each other. They can use Psycommu Systems, systems designed to control aspects of their mobile suits with their thought patterns.
Major Factions
-The Earth Federation.
-Republic of Zeon ( Side 3)
- Independent Martian Sphere ( Mars Zeon colonies)
-The Crossbone Vanguard mercenaries
-Republic of Jupiter
