Prologue: The End of Dreams
It was to be the dawn of a new age. And humanity had such dreams. They dreamed of peace. Of prosperity. Of unlimited achievement. They had finally broken free of their terrestrial bonds and established a series of gigantic space colonies. Each was situated at the Lagrange Points in near Earth orbit. These colonies were to be humanity's gateway to the stars themselves. It was believed that it was inevitable that the human race's destiny lay in the exploration of the heavens themselves. They would spread out throughout the cosmos. They had such dreams. And they called this new golden age … After Colony.
They had such dreams. But they did not last.
Barely two decades later, Earth was on the verge of an economic collapse and soon afterwards, became consumed into a bitter war between national factions. The Colonies could only watch as this war grew and the entire world itself teetered on the brink of self annihilation.
It was believed that one of the global superpowers would emerge victorious. But that was not to be. Instead, a new force arose from a remote region in China. They were called … The Musk Dynasty.
They were grossly outnumbered but what they lacked in numbers, they overwhelmingly possessed the advantage in superior technology.
It was called the Mobile Suit. An enormous humanoid exo-skeleton manned by a single operator yet possessing the equivalent firepower of an entire army. Fast, maneuverable, incredibly agile with nigh invulnerable armor and accompanied with awesome strength, the Mobile Suits were the deciding factor against clumsy tanks, fragile airplanes, and sheer numbers.
Over the next few decades, the Musk emerged as the new dominant superpower on the planet Earth, ultimately establishing themselves as the ruling hierarchy of the United Earth Sphere Alliance.
They absorbed those who were too weak to resist and summarily crushed those who refused to submit to their rule.
In time, they were the uncontested masters of the entire planet itself. But they still hungered for more and soon turned their attention to the Space Colonies. It did not matter if they were neutral or simply independently minded, one by one, they were forced to submit to the Musk. Or die. Their ruthless tyranny saw those that resisted were killed, those who dared to speak out were swiftly muzzled and many of the citizens found much if not all of their freedoms and rights stripped away or were at the whims of the Alliance itself.
Time passed. Anger turned into frustration. Frustration turned into resentment and from such seeds, an underground resistance has quietly grown and begun assembling the foundation for their revolution.
All that it will take, is a single spark to ignite the powerkeg that the Alliance has been keeping in check. If it is shown that they can be resisted, if the technological superiority of their Mobile Suits are brought into question, many will rise up to throw off the yokes of their so-called masters.
They are grossly outnumbered. But like the Musk did in their day, their single advantage may lay in superior technology.
A metallurgical marvel known as Gundanium holds the key. Lightweight, incredibly durable, and when charged with special energy fields becomes virtually indestructible. A new generation of Mobile Suits forged out of this special metal may be able to turn the tide. They are called … the Gundams.
The Year is 195 After Colony. And the Revolution has begun.
A/N: This is another one of my threads from Anime Aadventures, I started this story several years ago and then lost interest. I was real big fan of Ranma 1/2 and Gundam Wing which I decided to do a crossover/fusion and I decided to clean it up and post it about two years ago and I was looking over this story and I have decided to try and continue it. I tried to improve upon it, I think it's better than the original version.
