Plot
The Earth Federation started a space colonization program, because of concerns about overpopulation. The Earth Federation
forced
every one not deemed essential to the Federation to move to space. This marked the start of the UC Timeline at UC 0001.
In the year UC 0050 80% of all mankind had moved to space. Until UC 0058 the Earth Federation exploited the colonys
with out
the colonys fighting back, but Side 3 Space then gained its independance from earths operessive rule.
On January 1st, UC 0079, after Side 3 Space renamed itself the Republic of Zeon and declared war against the Earth
Federation,
After a month, 50% of the population of both sides have been devastated by war. Eight months later,
Earth has developed a new generation of mecha battle suits called "Gundams". Zeon forces,
led by elite pilot Char Aznable, "The Red Comet", heads on an attack against the prototype suit,
and nearly succeeds until a young boy named Amuro Ray jumps into one of the prototype Gundams
in an attempt to save the colony. January 1st, UC 0080, an armistice was signed and the war ended.
This war became known
as the one year war.
