Mobile Suit Gundam Ω

The year is Universal Era 76. With the Earth's booming population of over 10 billion, the Earth Sphere has reached out to space in the form of orbiting space colonies. After over half a century of oppression from the Earth Sphere, the colonies furthest from the Earth, Cluster 7, declare themselves a seperate entity, and launch a war of indepedence against the Earth Federation. Soon, almost all of the colonies join Cluster 7 in the rebellion, calling themselves the "Colonial Alliance". Early predictions expected the war to be over in weeks, due to the Federation's superior numbers. However, these predictions were wrong. The colonies had superior weapons, known as "Mobile Suits". These were giant robots, about 16 meters tall, armed with huge weaponry, such as 105mm machine guns. The Federation, however, mainly used T-61 Tanks and things called "Mobile Armor". It has been 8 months since the war began, with still no end in sight.

Space...so empty...so quiet. If you were to die out here, no one would hear you scream. The only evidence of your exhistence would be a flaming ball of metal turned into a heap of wreakage, which carried a cold, lifeless body inside.

These thoughts drifted through the mind of the Earth Federation pilot, Jerome Au Quinn as he dodged a the the thin beam fired from the nozzle of a beam rifle being carried by the mass-production model mobile suit of the Colonial Alliance, the "Une".

An une is a 16.2 meter tall mobile suit. Instead of having a face on the front of the head area, it has a yellow screen, inside of which is the camera unit. As a basic mobile suit, it has no fixed armaments. However, this unit was holding a beam rifle.

A beam rifle is a miniature "Mega Particle Cannon". A mega particle cannon is a cannon, which fires a thin beam of mega particles, discovered by Dr. Minovsky, capable of causing mass damage. A mega particle is usually mounted on space battleships.

The une which was engaged with Au Quinn was also modified for space combat. It had a booster backpack for maneuvering in zero G environments. This booster backpack was fixed with rocket and vernier thrusters.

But what was to be expected? Mobile suits are very deadly weapons. They were built to be weapons, or more specifically, killing machines. They had the armor of a tank, the agility of a fighter, and the power of a battleship. They were quite a force to be reckoned with. Mobile armors didn't stand a chance.

A mobile armor is a basic space combat vehicle. The basic ones used by the Earth Federation were known as "Skies".

A skie is a pod with a vernier thruster on each side of it. It has missile racks on the bottom, 40mm vulcan cannons on each side between the pod and the vernier, and a "Linear Gun" on the bottom.

A linear gun is like rail gun in which it fires large bullets through electromagnetic forces. It is different, though, in the fact that it uses attractive and repulsive forces without touching a firing mechanism, also known as the "maglev train".

Au Quin, however, was piloting a "Skie Zero", which was a prototype to the skie. It was a pod, like the normal skie, but it had four small verniers on the back instead of two big ones on the sides. It was equipped with a linear gun also, but this skie also had one special feature. That feature was four "Wired Gunbarrels".

A wired gunbarrel is a weapon system in which four large remote controlled gun pods are connected to the Skie Zero by micro-thin wires, and can not only shoot, but also detach from the Skie Zero and shoot in four seperate directions or overwhelm one target or so on. The only problem with the system was that it took a pilot who had great skills and exceptional spatial awareness.

Jerome Au Quinn then quickly dodged another thin, glowing mega particle beam by barrel rolling 180 degrees, then performing a split "S" by performing a downward loop. He then stopped rolling once he was facing up, or the general up anyway, for there are no ups or downs in space. He found himself facing the une, and flying towards him. The une then proceeded to take another shot at the Skie Zero. A swift movement to the right evaded the beam. The Skie Zero was still closing in on the une quickly. The une pilot was thinking the skie prototype would try to ram him! As the une pilot braced for impact, the skie moved at the last tenth of a second, literally coming one decimeter within impact. He was now behind the une! He simply scoffed, and with the mere touch of a button, he released a wired gunbarrel, which turned 180 degrees, and shot a round straight through the back of the une, hitting the ultra compact fusion reactor. This caused a collapse, followed by an explosion. The une was then engulfed in a silent explosion of orange light. The pilot died instantly.

Au Quinn then relaxed in his seat. "That was the last of them.", he thought to himself, "What a shame to kill such an inexperienced pilot." However, he knew that this was a war he was fighting, he hadn't the room neither the time the think of such thoughts.

"Good. That should be the last of them. "Captain Ramius Mihm affixed his commander's hat. "Tell all of the mobile armors to return!" The captain then sighed and leaned back. "How many survived?"

The mobile weapons management officer turned around. "Only Au Quinn."

Mihm clenched his fists. "Those damned mobile suits!"

Captain Mihm's ship, the "Patriot", docked in one of the neutral Cluster 2 colonies. Number 2-027. The crew of the Patriot were given orders to proceed to that colony immediately, and were given a small civilian crew, for some unknown reason. They were supposedly refugees, but everyone on board knew that was a lie. A very important operation was about to be executed, perhaps one that end this stalemate.

The Patriot pulled into the port. It was quite an old ship, it was of the "Salamis" class. It was a cruiser, very old, and would soon be retired. Little did that crew know, it was in for an early retirement.

The Captain disembarked from his ship. He found himself facing one of his superiors. "Admiral Flaga?"

"Sorry to suprise you", he said with a smirk,which soon left his face, "this is very important, please pay attention."

As one of the giant blast doors opened, the captain was speechless. There was a huge ship in front of him. It was white, with red and even blue in places. It had a blue "shield" on each side.It also appeared to have "legs". Well, there was open space in the middle of the front.

"What is this?" Mihm asked in awe.

"Its known as the "Archangel".
