Man was not meant to live in space.

To ease tensions among the space colonists (also known as "spacenoids"),an asteroid later named Luna 2 was moved into the lunar orbit for the express purpose of colonization. However, in 0044, a man by the name of Zeon Zum Daikun, born in the 0009 UC, began to preach the opposite of ere-ism: that man was supposed to live in space, from which doing he and his descendants would evolve into a "new" man-kind.

In 0052 UC, Zeon Daikun moved to Side 3 to establish a colony based on his ideology. By 0058 UC, it was a republic. His first son, Cassoval Rem Daikun was born a year later. In 0062 UC, Zeon Daikun declared Side 3 independent from the Earth and established its own national defense force. Zeon also had a daughter, Artesia, born that same year. By 0063 UC, the Earth Federation placed economic sanctions against Side 3. Zeon Daikun died in 0068 UC under "mysterious circumstances". He was succeeded by Degin Zabi, who within a year declared himself the ruling prince of the Dutchy of Zeon. When this occurred, one of Degin's sons was assassinated, which marked the beginning of a campaign of repression against the followers of Zeon Daikun. Zeon's two children disappeared from Side 3, their fate unknown.

By 0071, the Zeon defense force had become an army and had begun to use the theory of Minovski Physics, which had been under intense research for the previous 6 years by the academia, to jam radio communications and develop heavy, particle weapons as well as the development of "mobile weapons". By 0077, the Zeon were preparing for an independence war and were already developing robots (in general called "mobile suits") for mass-production. A year of bloody slaughter ensued during which a Zeon Pilot by the name of Char Aznable distinguished himself in battle, by singlehandedly destroying five federation battleships.

(And that's just the prologue!!) The actual story begins in the fall of UC 0079. The ongoing war between the Earth Federation and the Dutchy of Zeon has settled into a six-month stalemate. The Federation has taken advantage of this time to develop its own set of mobile suit prototypes, which have been undergoing final testing inside a Federation research colony at Side 7. Now the mobile suit carrier White Base has arrived at Side 7 to pick up the prototypes and transport them to Earth. Inside the white base is the Federation's best kept secret. The Gundam. And very soon a young boy named Amuro Rei will find his destiny with this machine, and will join the fight to protect the Federation. The war continues...
