Synopsis
Neo Space Century 298…
Seven years ago, the world had been in the midst of chaos. The dinosaur forces of a mad scientist named Dr. Hell made public to the world of his mission to conquer the entire world. It seemed that this had also triggered some unfortunate events in history: particularly the declaration of independence by Side 3’s Zeon Army, the destruction of Australia in the course of the fight, the Federation’s failed peace negotiation with the Balming race, as well as the falling out of the space colonies. With the looming danger of future alien invasion, the UN, supported by the United Federation of Earth, had found it important to produce robots specifically designed to combat these alien threats. This battle was thereon called as the One Year War… in which it had been officially ended when the Zabis, the undisputed ruling family of Zeon, had been killed in the course of the fighting.
Mobile Suit production companies were also established during that time as well along with Anaheim. From the private Nergal Industry to JSSDF supported GEHIRN, which was now renamed as NERV, both supported by the Federation because of its unique technology that they had develop. What it was, though, remained anonymous.
Five years after the One Year War, tragedy struck as a Zeon remnant had managed to steal the Federation’s GP02 "Physalis"… a prototype Gundam armed with a nuclear warhead, and made a drastic attempt to reclaim the Solomon base and sending an abandoned Colony to crash to Jabrow, claiming the lives of both civilian and military in the process. The Federation managed to abate the threat, but that experience had severely shaken their confidence in upholding the fragile thread called peace.
Leading to the creation of the Antarctic Treaty: establishing truce between warring nations, forbidding Mobile Suit battles in a colony and disarmament of all nuclear and biological weapons developed in the war. Around this time the Federation also founded the Titans, a branch of their military ranks as a countermeasure against the Zeons. OZ, a private army created by the Romefeller Foundation, along with Treize Khushrenada as its head, had also joined in the Federation; giving aid to the struggling government in outmost earnest.
Soon after the war, the Earth government decided to reclaim Mars as part of the colony. Nanomachines were released in the atmosphere, making the planet once again habitable for humans, and from thereon, a new civilization begins anew. The creation of space exploring ships and robots to aid the human race to seek new homes and in search of a safer source of energy was also realized during its time. It seems that everything was going smoothly for everyone from thereon.
However…
NSC 297… In a bid for more accumulation of power, OZ was slowly disintegrating the already weakened Federation government, causing chaos and uncertainty between the space and earth. The colonies’ economics and natural resources were heavily drained due to the reconstruction, an act that seemed to only benefit the Earth. This causes the Colonies to voice their objections against the Federation, in which the Titans retaliated in a violent force, the 30 Bunch Incident an example of this. With the rise of White Fang, an aggressive movement from the Colonies, it was OZ who took the brunt of the battle, killing off their respective leaders: Quinze and Treize, thus ending this group permanently. With lack of firepower, the Titans became the undisputed army for the Earth Federation.
Dr. Saotome, the head scientist and the creator of the Getta machine had been murdered by one of his colleagues. Surprisingly, by its own head pilot. Professor Gou had also disappeared for reasons unknown, leaving his wife and close friends to finish the Voltes project. Amuro Ray, one of the pilots that ensured the Federation’s victory of the One Year War was hidden away and kept under house arrest by the government, fearing the manifestation of his powers. DOME the house of the GX Satellite System, was abandoned during the war and became inaccessible to outsiders. The declaration of Neo-Zeon, led by nine-year-old Minerva Zabi, the separatists who wished to establish their own independence seven years ago. The robot threats by the diabolical Dr. Hell and his dedicated assistant Baron Ashura was still at large, as well as reports of an erratic pattern found in space/time continuum found in Pluto’s orbit from the Excellion’s expedition team. To make things worse, another Spacenoid extremists called ZAFT recently emerged, angered by Earth’s apparent involvement with the 30th Bunch Incident, and the Balms had also made known its intention of conquering the Earth for their race.
And from these troubled times, our tale begins…
