After Colony Timeline

**New Mobile Report Gundam Wing**
**After Colony (AC) Timeline**
AC 001	Several of the world's nations develop permanent space stations in orbit around the Earth.
AC 020	At Lagrange Point 5 (L5), colony L5-A0206 is created. It becomes the home of the Long Clan after they leave Earth.
AC 022	Construction begins on space colonies at Lagrange Point 1 (L1). Construction is delayed by conflict and bad working conditions.
AC 050	Many countries begin to give up on space colony construction until nations of the Middle East join the construction effort. Colony construction begins at other Lagrange Points (five points in all).
AC 070	More conflict between nations delays colony construction. Resource shortages are solved by using diverted asteroids for raw materials. The Middle East nations end conflicts.
AC 087	L2-V08744 is completed at Lagrange Point 2.
AC 102	Lagrange 1 builds an Island 2 type colony. Construction goes on, creating population centers known as "colony clusters." On Earth, international disputes send civilians fleeing to space. Eventually, approximately 15% of the human race lives in space.
AC 130	International disputes are resolved.
AC 133	The United Earth Sphere Alliance is created to keep the peace among nations of the world.
AC 140	Nations begin to join the Alliance. Colonies are forced to join as the nations that own them do. Critics of the Alliance speak out in the colonies, and the Alliance responds with force.
AC 147	The United Earth Sphere Alliance takes control of the colonies with force.
AC 149	Colonies which once enjoyed independence are returned to the nations which originally constructed them by the Alliance.
AC 150	Colonists dislike Alliance control.
AC 165	Hiiro Yuy is elected representative of the colonies. He preaches total pacifism.
AC 170	Nations of Earth welcome Hiiro Yuy's ideas of total pacifism and demilitarization.
AC 173	A subsidiary of the Romefeller Foundation known as OZ begins development of a new weapon called the mobile suit.
AC 174	Hiiro Yuy takes a tour of Earth's nations as a gesture of goodwill. The tour builds a foundation for the colonies' independence.
AC 175	Six scientists complete work on the first combat mobile suit known as Tallgeese. Hiiro Yuy is assassinated on April 7. The gunman is never identified. The assassination throws the colonies into turmoil and the Alliance uses the chaos as an excuse for military intervention. The Tallgeese developers disappear and abandon the mobile suit project in response to the assassination.
AC 176	The Romefeller Foundation's OZ subsidiary begins mass producing a scaled down Tallgeese known as the Leo. The Alliance forms the Special Mobile Suit Corps ("Specials"). The Specials are comprised of OZ soldiers.
AC 180	Five of the original Tallgeese designers, Doctor J, Professor G, Doktor S, Instructor H, and Master O, design a new mobile suit with which to fight OZ. The Wing Gundam Zero far surpasses the Tallgeese and is the most advanced mobile suit to date. However, the weapon is actually too powerful, and it never leaves the drawing board. The scientists split up and begin construction on their own Gundams based on Zero's design. OZ begins construction of its Zodiac Series, including Aries, Tragos, Cancer, and Pisces. The series would later include the Taurus space mobile suits and the Virgo mobile dolls. Though it's not a mobile suit, the space battleship Libra could also be grouped with this series. Quatre Raberba Winner is born to the wealthy Winner family. The Winner family still experiences certain abnormalities as a result of early complications with life in space. Genetic engineering can at the time solve these problems, but the Winner family objects for religious reasons. Quatre's 29 sisters are born in test tubes, but Quatrine Winner, Quatre's mother, opts to give birth to her son naturally. As a result, she dies during childbirth. Mr. Winner keeps the details of his birth from Quatre and lets him believe he was born in a test tube like his sisters.
AC 182	The Alliance attacks the Sanc Kingdom and takes the capitol in a single day. The King is killed. Relena Peacecraft, only two years old, is rescued by King Peacecraft's aide. Prince Milliardo's fate is unknown. The Bloom family is caught in a battle between the Alliance and a rebel group. Catherine Bloom, age 4, survives. Her parents are killed, and younger brother Triton, age 2, is also believed to be killed. The circus troupe to which Catherine's parents belonged takes in Catherine.
AC 187	Colony L2-V08744 suffers a virus outbreak. A cure is distributed, but the lower classes of society do not receive it. The leader of a small gang, Solo, contracts the virus. A nameless member of the gang steals the antidote, but is too late, and Solo dies. Solo promises to stay by his friend's side forever as he dies and the boy names himself Duo. Duo never contracts the virus and attributes this to Solo's watching over him. Following the death of their leader, Duo and the gang are taken in by the Maxwell Church. Most of the gang is placed into foster homes, but Duo lives at the church with the Reverend and Sister Helen. Duo refuses to let her cut his hair, so Sister Helen braids it. Duo also states that he doesn't believe in God, but because he's seen his work so many times, he believes in Shinigami, the God of Death.
AC 188	The Alliance squashes revolts in several colonies. Quinze leads an uprising in the incomplete L3-X18999 and Treize Khushrenada of the Specials is given authorization to put down the rebellion. Treize is injured in battle, but the rebels are defeated. Odin Lowe arrives at L3-X18999 with a child and attempts, but fails, to assassinate the Alliance's General Septem. He is later shot and killed while preparing to blow up an Alliance base. Treize Khushrenada recovers in the hospital and meets Leia Barton, a nurse. Leia's father, Dekim Barton, is reportedly killed during the battle. Dr. J adopts and begins training the child that was with Odin Lowe. Another uprising at L2-V08744 takes place and rebels take over the Maxwell Church. They agree to leave if Duo steals a mobile suit for them, and he complies. However, by the time he returns, the Alliance has killed the rebellion, as well as everyone at the Church. The Maxwell Church Massacre claims 245 lives, including those of Sister Helen and the Reverend, and as a result, Duo tacks "Maxwell" onto his name, thus becoming Duo Maxwell. Master O, Chang Wu Fei's tutor, disappears at L5-A0206 to design five Gundams with four of the other Tallgeese designers for use in Dekim Barton's "Operation Meteor."
AC 189	L3-X18999 is completed. Mariemeia Barton is born in the new colony to Leia Barton and an unidentified father. Zechs Merquise and Lucrezia Noin graduate from the Lake Victoria Academy with the highest (Zechs) and second highest (Noin) marks in its history. Noin later returns to teach at the Academy.
AC 190	A nameless mercenary fights against the Alliance. A failed ambush is given away to the enemy by a spy and the mercenary's team is wiped out. The spy is revealed to be Midii Une, a young girl who spies in order to support her family.
AC 191	Leia Barton dies of an illness at L3-X18999. Terrorists steal prototype Aries suits from an Alliance base on April 8. General Catalonia (Dorothy Catalonia's father?) sends Treize Khushrenada and Zechs Merquise to take care of it. Relena Dorlian, age 11, is captured by a terrorist. Zechs Merquise rescues her. He recognizes her as Princess Relena Peacecraft of the Sanc Kingdom, but hides his own true identity, Prince Milliardo, from his younger sister.
AC 192	Peacemillion, an enormous spaceship, is completed and hidden on the moon. Professor G and Howard, two of the designers of the Tallgeese (Professor G also went on to build the Gundam Deathscythe), separate after completing the ship with their Sweeper group. Howard goes to Earth, while Professor G remains in space. The Sweepers find a stowaway and take him to Professor G. He identifies himself as Duo Maxwell and bestows on himself the title "Shinigami," the God of Death.
AC 193	Treize Khushrenada becomes leader of OZ and commander of the Specials. A gang called the Maganac Corps hijacks a shuttle carrying Quatre Raberba Winner. The Corps plans to ferry workers from the resource satellite MO-III to Earth. Quatre helps the Maganac Corps, saving Rashid, their leader, from a traitor's bullet and fighting off the Alliance during their escape. Quatre's actions earn him their respect and gratitude (hence all the Quatre-sama stuff). The Maganac Corps and the rescued workers go to Earth, while Instructor H returns home with Quatre.
AC 194	Zechs Merquise receives the first two-rank promotion in the history of OZ and becomes known as the Lightning Baron. Dr. J's nameless soldier undergoes extensive training for Operation Meteor. He carries out a mission to blow up an Alliance base inside a colony, but the plan goes awry when he accidentally inflicts civilian casualties. Among those killed are a small girl and her dog whom he had met earlier in the day after setting up the bombs. He buries the dead dog, and Dekim Barton orders Dr. J to retrain the boy, stating that emotions such as kindness must be eliminated. Colony L5-A0206 is condemned by the Alliance. Instead of moving the Long Clan, General Septem orders that they be wiped out by biological weapons. Treize Khushrenada ops to carry out the mission with conventional weapons, though, and arrives before the Alliance. Meiran Long, daughter of the Long Clan's leader and wife of 14 year old Chang Wu Fei, fights in a Tallgeese-like mobile suit to defend the colony. Wu Fei goes out to fight along side his wife in the incomplete Shenlong Gundam, and together, they defeat the Specials and prevent the biological attack. Meiran, however, is wounded during the attack and dies in Wu Fei's arms. Despite having earlier mocked his wife's calling herself Nataku after the legendary warrior, Wu Fei gives his Gundam the name Nataku in her honor and agrees to pilot the mobile suit for Master O. Meanwhile, Sally Po reports to the Alliance that the attack was successful, ensuring A0206's survival.
AC 195	A Gundam is prepared at each of the five colony clusters for Operation Meteor. The plan involves dropping at least one colony onto Earth, then sending the Gundams to take control in the confusion. Duo Maxwell chooses not to follow Dekim Barton's proposed genocidal Operation Meteor and sets out to destroy Gundam Deathscythe, then kill everyone onboard the Sweepers ship, including himself. However, Professor G defuses all of his bombs beforehand and tells Duo to steal Deathscythe, go to Earth, and meet Howard, a man on the Pacific Ocean. Trowa Barton realizes that Doktor S is not planning to follow his father's Operation Meteor, but is shot and killed by an aide of Doktor S. A nameless mechanic who had been working on the Gundam Heavyarms is the only witness, and offers to take on not only the dead man's job of piloting the suit, but also his name. Thus, the mechanic becomes Trowa Barton, pilot of Gundam Heavyarms. Quatre Raberba Winner prepares to go to Earth on the Gundam Sandrock, but before launching, he and Instructor H receive an order from Operation Meteor. Instructor H smashes the display and tells Quatre to fight as his heart tells him. Realizing that Ron Shirin (leader of the Long Clan) plans to drop L5-A0206 onto Earth as part of Operation Meteor, Chang Wu Fei rebels and takes Shenlong Gundam and goes to Earth to fight for justice. On April 7, AC 195, the 20th anniversary of Hiiro Yuy's assassination, five Gundams go to Earth to attack OZ. On May 19, the Alliance's leaders are killed at New Edwards base in California after discussing peace and disarmament. OZ discards its facade and begins Operation Daybreak, a plan to overthrow the United Earth Sphere Alliance. The Alliance is overwhelmed and OZ assumes control over the Earth. Treize Khushrenada resigns as leader of OZ in September. OZ is then split into two groups, Romefeller and the Treize Faction. Romefeller sets out to crush the Treize Faction and any other resistance groups through Operation Nova, a plan to send mass produced Virgo mobile dolls to Earth. On December 24, the Eve Wars see the defeat of the World Nation (led by Treize Khushrenada) by the White Fang (a coalition of colony rebels led by Milliardo Peacecraft). Treize Khushrenada is killed in battle and the Gundam pilots thwart the White Fang's attempt to drop the space battleship Libra and the massive spaceship Peacemillion onto Earth. The Colonies denounce the White Fang and make peace with the World Nation. The Earth Sphere Unified Nation is thus formed. Zechs Merquise disappears after the battle.
AC 196	Blind Target takes place (which I have yet to finish). Ground Zero takes place (which I also have yet to finish). On December 25, Mariemeia Barton-Khushrenada, daughter of Leia Barton and Treize Khushrenada, declares war on the Earth Sphere Unified Nation from her colony, L3-X18999. Dekim Barton, her grandfather, plans to drop the colony onto Earth and thus carry out the original plan for Operation Meteor. However, Zechs Merquise returns as a Preventer (a group sponsored by the Unified Nation that is supposed to prevent things like this from happening) and Quatre Raberba Winner recovers the Gundams. Through the intervention of the Preventers and the Gundams, Mariemeia is thwarted and peace returns to the Earth. Dekim Barton is killed in the conflict and Mariemeia is seriously wounded, but survives. Following the very short war, all weapons on Earth are destroyed and peace presumably reigns.
AC 197	Preventer 5 takes place (Sorry, I don't have a translation, so I haven't tried to read it yet).
