Episode 1 : the new chairman of PLANT

After the second bloody valentine war, a peace treaty once again was signed by the PLANT government and the Earth Alliance, with the hope that from now on they would regain the peace and create a new world order.

Cosmic Era 78, ORB and the Kingdom of Scandinavia together with the Eurasian countries had signed a pact to advance the development of technology and economics among those countries, also known as the Economic Society of Neutral Forces (ESNF). The PLANT colonies also had its own National Alliance of Trading Organization, whose members were the investors and economic society. While the Earth Alliance countries had the International Finance Corporation.

To prevent another "misunderstanding" situation between the PLANT and earth and also to make sure that investment would go on, at the end of year 78, the PLANT government, Earth alliance council, and the emirs of ORB, had announced the establishment of United Forces for Freedom Treaty.

Cosmic Era 79, PLANT, Neo Junius 7

"All of the preparations here have been completed"
"B7 and C7 are under control. Check the monitors"
"Secure condition has been confirmed, Sir"
"All hands!, prepare to welcome the senators"
The Sixth and Seventh batalyons for Neo Junius Seven had been busy all the day preparing the welcoming act for the senators and also the candidates for chairman.

Since Dullindal's death, the PLANT council had Volney Adelaide as the chaiman for 5 years. According to the law, there should be an election in order to vote a chairman every five year.
For this year, Volney Adelaide would surely had great competition to be the first man of the country once more. Lacus Clyne of the Clyne Faction, had officially stated that she would enter the competition, making her as the first woman in PLANT's history to achieve such a high position in her political carrier.
Volney Adelaide had the support from the economic society, since he was the one responsible for the prosperity they had gained these years.
While Lacus Clyne who was acted as the mediator between naturals and coordinators, simply had gained the respect from the Neutral countries.
The soldiers had gathered and gave their salute to the two most respected people in PLANT. Lacus Clyne and Volney Adelaide walking side-by-side, behind them was the first commander of FAITH, Yzak Joule from the house of Joule, acted as their bodyguard.

It was pretty obvious that the situation between the 2 young leaders was a bit awkward. Everyone believed that this was due to the incident that happened two years ago. That time, Chairman Adelaide was introducing the Neo Heliopolis plan. The new colony would be under direct control of the United Forces for Freedom Treaty. To put it simple, the colony's main job would be producing weapons for all the armies. Including the use of nuclear technology.
The plan had its own pros and contras. Lacus Clyne herself had clearly stated that the plan was ridiculous. The weapon production policy would lead the nations into another war.
But Chaiman Adelaide insisted that with the United Forces for Freedom Treaty controlling the production, such things as war won't happened. Cosmic Era 79, February 30, both of them visited the newest colony of PLANT, Neo Junius seven. It was also the beginning of their tour to promote their ideals to the people of PLANT, so the people could choose the better person to become the next Chairman and rule the council.
