It is the year 0079 (double ‘O’ seventy-nine) of the universal century.

A half century has passed since earth began moving

it’s burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies.

A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised, and die…

Nine months ago, the cluster of colonies farthest from the earth

called Side 3 proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon,

and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation.

Initial fighting lasted over one month

and saw both sides lose half their respective populations.

People are horrified by the indescribable atrocities

that had been committed in the name of independence.

Eight months are passed since the rebellion began.

They are at a stalemate.
