![]() The year is Universal Century 0079. Almost a century ago humanity finally put aside their differences and united under a banner of peace that was to last the ages. That peace was through the Earth Federation, bringing together the resources and resourcefulness of all of humanity under one banner began the grandest undertaking in human history: the colonization of the Earth Sphere. There were, of course, hiccups in the system but none that could not be overlooked by the tremendous achievements of the new government. In fifty years the vast majority of humanity's eleven billion had migrated to tremendous orbiting space colonies. Some complained that only Earth's elite had been allowed to remain on the planet, though these complaints would come to nothing until a man known as Zeon Zum Deikun came into the light. Emerging in Side Three, Zeon Zum Deikun believed that the time for humanity to leave the cradle of the Earth had come. It was time for humanity to stand on its own in space and leave the Earth in peace. The idea was not necessarily original, but Zeon Zum Deikun brought a greater weight to the table due to his election as the premier of Side 3, the colony cluster tucked behind the moon at Lagrange Point 2. Under the guidance of Zeon Deikun, the colonies of Side Three formed the first military beyond the control of the Earth Federation in over fifty years and began to make overtures towards independence. The Earth Federation would respond with sanctions against the Zeon Republic, though these brought about little result. Following Zeon Deikun's death under questionable circumstances, his former advisor whom had fallen from favour, Degwin Sodo Zabi would rise to power in his stead. Under the leadership of Degwin Zabi and his son Gihren, the Zeon Republic would find itself re-branded the Principality of Zeon. Brimming with confidence in a new generation of weapons called "mobile suits," the Principality and Earth Federation charged irrevocably towards war. Officially the Principality was launching its war for the cause of independence from the Earth Federation; unofficially, Gihren Zabi had designs for the entire human race. January 3, 0079 was the first day of what would eventually become known as the One Year War. The One Year War was the single largest and most devastating conflict in human history, in both the number of military casualties, civilian deaths, and devastation across the entire Earth Sphere. It began with the Principality of Zeon launching well coordinated surprise attacks against the Earth Federation controlled Sides. During the fierce fighting of the first month of the war, weapons of mass destruction were used indiscriminately, with Zeon forces deploying G3 Nerve Gas in inhabited colonies, attempting a colony drop against the EFF's headquarters at Jaburo during Operation British, and both sides using nuclear weapons during the Battle of Loum. During this period of fighting the civilian and military casualties totaled almost half of the entire human race. After this, both parties agreed to sign the Antarctic Treaty which, among other things, forbid the use of weapons of mass destruction. With the Earth Federation Space Forces devastated, Zeon pressed its advantage by staging an invasion of Earth, dropping mobile suit forces onto the planet during several operations in March of UC 0079. This began a long stalemate period between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon, with the Earth Federation slowly giving ground until the Zeon had control over approximately two thirds of Earth's surface. The Federation's last grasp at hope now lies with the new Pegasus class carrier, White Base, sent alone to Side Seven. Its mission: collect the Federation's prototype mobile suits and return them safely to Jaburo. No other outcome is acceptable. Edited by ZeroAlexandria, Oct 16 2013, 04:32 AM.
