U.C.
0001 The plan to migrate humans to space begins. From this moment on, the calendar years are changed to Universal Century. Human population on earth exceeds 90 hundred million.
0009 Zion Zum Daikun is born.
0027 Fon Braun, the first city on the surface of the moon, is completed.
0035 Construction starts on Side 3.
0046 Zion Zum Daikun gives a short lecture, combining the principles of each Side ("Elism" and "Sidism") into one.
0050 Total human population exceeds 110 hundred million. From this number, 90hundred million are spacenoids (space emigrants).
0052 Zion Zum Daikun moves to Side 3. He starts practical application of his lecture in 0046. His merger of "Elism" and "Sidism" becomes known as "Zionism".
0058 Zion Zum Daikun conveys his desire to form Side 3 into a separate Republic. He gives a speech about the Reform of Humankind - the New Type. Under his leadership, the colonies behind the moon and far from Earth are declared Independent from the Federation Government. The new Independent Colonies base themselves on the idea that Spacenoids can rule themselves, and they rename themselves the Republic of Zion. A defense department is set up in the Republic of Zion.
0059 The Federation Government begins to put financial pressure on Side 3. This increases the gap between spacenoids and Earth-dwellers even more. However, the problem of money is soon dealt with in secret by Dekin Zod Zabi. Zion Zum Daikun travels widely now, spreading his ideals, and encouraging those who support his views to reside in Side 3. A Space Defense Force is set up in the name of protecting the peace.
Casabel Rem Daikun (or who is later known as Char Aznable) is born.
0060 The Federation Government begins a project to redevelop and strengthen their weapons. Emphasis is given to the development of a space fleet. Lunar 2 is turned into a military base.

Civil war breaks out between supporters of Daikun and supporters of Zabi. In the ensuing bomb blast, Dekin Zabi's second son, Dozle Zabi, is heavily injured. His third son, Sasuro Zabi dies. This provides Dekin Zod Zabi with enough motivation and cause to proceed on the wiping out of all remaining supporters of Daikun. In order to have the Zabi Family rule in entirety, Dekin Zod Zabi declares a manhunt on the remaining supporters of Zion Zum Daikun.
Casabal Rem Daikun and Artesia Zom Daikun, the last remaining bloodline of the Zion Zum Daikun line, flee from Side 3 to earth with the aid of the Jinba Ral couple. They pretend to be the adopted son and daughter of the Masu Family, and change their names to Edwa Mass, and Sayla Mass.
The Principality of Zion is set up, and Dekin Zod Zabi declares governance of Side 3. They strike a peace treaty with Side 6 in secret, announcing that they will not attack each other.

0073 Zionic, Zion's development team, complete the first new weapon. It is branded with serial number MS-01, and called a Mobile Suit, where Suit stands for "Space Utility Instruments Tactical", or Battle machines for tactical deployment in Space. The human-shaped mobile weapons originated from MS-00, and mechanism stolen from NASA's X-91 was widely used in the design. MS-01 became better known as "XC", or "Zaku" in time to come.
0074 The First Zion Jupiter Energy fleet returns to its base.
Casabal Rem Daikun enters Side 3's Officer Cadet School under the name 'Char Aznable'.

A Federation construction team encounters a damaged MS-05 "Zaku I" while in the midst of moving an asteroid. However, after analysis of the data, they decide the machine is not worth taking into account since it is probably only capable of close distance attacks. They receive basic research information on Ground combat weapons from the analysis of the "Zaku I".
0077 The Principality of Zion intensifies preparation for the War for Independence.
A MS-05 "Zaku I" Team is sent to aid a resistance force in Side 6. The Federation retrieves technical information of Zion's MS from this skirmish.

Along with these new MS Variations also come the conceptual plans for mobile weapons with firepower superior to the Mobile Suits. (Later known as the Mobile Armour, or MA.)
0078.06 The Principality of Zion starts development on the "Teib" variation for their Chibe-class cruisers.
0078.08 The Federation Army rolls out its first Ground-type transformable MS Prototype 1. It is able to transform 3 times, and is equipped with caterpillar tracks. (This prototype appears in Gundam-F91)
0078.10 The Principality of Zion issues a conscription order for all its able- bodied men to undergo training for combat.
