The general out line of each era is broken up in a yearly format detailing critical points in the history. 1 S.E.(space era): The first public space colony, the Journeyman I, enters orbit around the earth. Marking the event, the world journeys into the Space Era. 27 S.E.: Large numbers of civilians on board the colonies have developed a strange disease. Symptoms include migraines, nausea, coughing, and vomiting. The infected are tested and put under wraps for the time being. Later on, the infected are released with a clean bill of health. 35 S.E.: Several children related to the infected have exhibited high potential and growth. These children with odd colored eyes have been called, New Types. 68 S.E.: As the number of new types grow, racism between them and normal citizens begins to escalate. An unknown terrorist strike severely damaged Journeyman I. The death toll was low, but it left a bitter taste in society's mouth. 126 S.E.: As acts of bigotry against new types reach their peak, several groups rose up amongst the colonies led by a young leader. Declaring that the Earth is useless and the colonies were nothing more than death cells due to the acts of terrorism and racism, they declared independence and war. Taking control of the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, they stole a mobile colony called the Izanagi and launched a campaign against Earth. 134 S.E.: After 8 years of war with no end in sight, a revolution in weaponry was made. Large humanoid robots called Mobile Suits. Using advances in technology and their new type pilots, Earth was slowly losing ground in the war while the new types have collected more mobile colonies. 135 S.E.: As the war dragged on, a new prototype mobile suit was developed for the Earth. Code named Gundam, it managed to turn the tide against the new types in a matter of months. As Journeyman I was destroyed by Earth Forces, the New Types withdrawn past the asteroid belt. Declaring the war as a success, the New Types Rebels were soon a memory. However, their actions soon caused a chain of events that lasted over a hundred years; The Gundam Wars. 136-250 S.E.: With the development of Mobile Suits and Gundams, various barriers that made fighting in space impractical have been lifted while those New Types that remained were used as expendable soldiers to use in their petty wars. As various nations fought over resources and control over space, mobile suits and Gundams evolved and changed over time. As time passed, Earth was eventually united under one rule and Gundams became nothing more than museum pieces and relics of war. 283 S.E.: A small mining operation finds a unique mineral deposit hidden in the moon's crust. Called Dianite, samples were taken for testing. Meanwhile, reports of strange white haired people have been found on Colonies near the now large debris belt. Little information is known about this breed of new people. 285 S.E.: A break through in technology was discovered when Lunar scientists analyzed and tested the Dianite samples. Composed of a complicated chain of Protons, Dianite can undergo a rare process called Chain Fusion which can generate a large steady supply of energy for weeks on end using only minimal amounts of it. This made dianite highly prized and valuable. As corporations, civilians, and pilots head to the moon and space for a chance in wealth, the Earth was slowly losing pull over it's people. 291 S.E.: As the majority of humanity head to the moon, a new nation was formed to take control of the growing Dianite industry. Called the United Lunar Empire(ULE), they declared their independence of Earth. Not wanting another potential war to break out, they agree to their demands. As a measure of good faith, Orb, a nation that was swallowed in the war, was allowed to act as a diplomatically neutral nation for Earth, the Moon, and the Colonies. 297 S.E.: The first two of five super colonies were completed this year. With these new colonies, the colonies were close to declaring independence. 300 S.E.: As the final colony was constructed near the Debris belt, a large series of arson attacks were launched at key points on the Earth and on the Moon at the same time. When several perpetrators were captured, they were all found out to be of the same white haired breed of new types. 301 S.E.: After investigations and interrogations, the white haired new types were descendants of the original New Types who vanished in the first war and lived in orbit around Jupiter. Having spent over a hundred years in isolation, they have evolved a sort of mental link with one another. When news got out, "Jupe-Hunts" were done by bitter citizens who grew up hating them. Hundreds of Jupes, and people with Jupe heritage called "Jupe-Bloods" were persecuted, abused, and killed. Animosity and hatred grew among the two "races". 305 S.E.: A MS academy was founded on Colony 5 as a growing need for soldiers was required. With the rumors of the "Jupe-Menace" and Dianite wars raging with each leap in technology, each side rushed to get a new generation of pilots. 315 S.E.: Present year. Talks of Jupe patrols roving the belt in unidentified Mobile Suits spread amongst the soldiers as a rumor about a secret government project called "Masquerade" circulated among the higher ups. A new war was brewing, and the next generation will be participating in it. |
