A brief history of the Galaxy during the Cosmic Era

The Galactic War started when the Emperor Raww decided to blow up the peaceful planet of Heliopolis, reducing it to nothing but rubble. Thus, Representative Uzumi Nara Athha of Orb, of which Heliopolis was a colony, and Senator Siegel Clyne of PLANT decided that enough was enough and the Rebellion for the Restoration of the Republic began, firstly as a small fledgling movement but with Orb's considerable military technology and the Clyne factions' efforts, the Rebellion soon gained more momentum, as neutral planets flocked to their banner.

In response, Emperor Raww and his puppet chancellor Patrick Zala started construction of the battlestation Cyclops, with the intention of destroying the Rebellion. However, Clyne faction members still within the Empire managed to leak information to the Rebel Alliance and they devised a plan to attack Cyclops.

With the introduction of the Archangel developed in Orb, the Rebel fleet began to gain a tactical advantage over the Empire. The Empire thus began to develop the Dominion-class to match the Archangel. However, Emperor Raww continued to hunt for the Rebellion with his forces, whilst the Dominion was in development.

Kira Yamato, a survivor of Heliopolis joined the Rebellion after his home planet was destroyed. It was at the battle of Victoria where Kira discovered that he could access the power of Seed, something not seen for a long time, since the rise of Emperor Raww who sought to destroy everyone who could access such power. The first skirmish at Victoria, Kira, flying in Rogue Squadron led by Captain Mwu La Fllaga flew his Strike Gundam against Commander Andrew Waltfeld of PLANT, killing him or so it was thought…

The first major battle between the Alliance and the Empire occurred at Josh-A (Yavin 4), where Kira drew on the fledgling power of Seed to prevent the Cyclops Superweapon from wiping out the Rebel Fleet. The Imperial fleet suffered huge losses, as the Cyclops superweapon overloaded and exploded.

The next time the Empire and the Rebellion engaged in a major battle, it was at Orb (Hoth). Here, the Alliance suffered a defeat as Cagalli's father Uzumi sacrificed himself to save the Alliance so that the Archangel could get away. With the death of Siegel Clyne by an assassination team at the hands of Emperor Raww's orders, this left Cagalli Yula Athha and Lacus Clyne as the leaders of the Rebellion. Having seen his father decline into insanity, Athrun Zala who had been betrothed to Lacus Clyne decided to join the Rebellion to save his father from the clutches of Emperor Raww. Under their direction, the Alliance managed to rebuild the Kusugani and steal the Eternal from the Empire. It also turned out that the Clyne faction had managed to rescue Andrew Waltfeld who became second in command of Rogue Squadron.

Word of the construction site of Genesis at the planet Jachin Due reached the ears of the Rebellion. It was decided that the Rebellion had to strike before the superweapon could be finished. Thus, with careful planning, Kira, Athrun and Cagalli would lead the infiltration team onto the Genesis to destroy its protection while Rogue squadron and the Rebellion fleet lead by Kusugani, Archangel and Eternal would destroy Genesis. However, they did not count on the Genesis being combat-ready, even though it could not move, it could fire decimating the Rebellion fleet. And there was also the Dominion which presented trouble for the Rebellion which was beginning to be outgunned. Supreme Commander Admiral Todaka, Lacus Clyne and Captain Ramius of the Archangel hoped that the infiltration team would succeed soon, as they saw the Rebel fleet hit by the Genesis Cannon. The Dominion moved to engage the Archangel in combat and it was then that the brave Captain Mwu La Fllaga died protecting the Archangel from the Lohengrin cannon of the Dominion, allowing Captain Ramius to fire the last shot, decimating the Dominion and killing the Empire's Admiral Azrael. Onboard the battlestation Genesis, Kira, Athrun and Cagalli soon became separated from the rest of the infiltration team, as Kira met the evil Emperor Raww in one-on-one combat and Athrun was confronted by his father who prepared to fire the Genesis cannon to destroy the Rebel fleet once and for all. However, it was then that a Clyne faction spy shot Patrick Zala dead, but it was too late to prevent the firing of the Genesis cannon. All Athrun and Cagalli could do was escape the Genesis station after disabling its shields. Meanwhile, Kira was confronted by the Emperor Raww who discovered to his dismay that Kira could call on the power of Seed. The battle was furious as Emperor Raww drew on his Newtype powers to match Kira's power of Seed. After a long battle, Kira managed to strike a decisive blow, but realised that Genesis would fire its cannon right at where they were as it overloaded, Freedom jumped away at the last minute as the cannon incinerated Emperor Raww ending his reign of terror. Commander Andrew Waltfeld, ace commander of Rogue Squadron fired the shots that destroyed Genesis after Kira and Athrun and Cagalli and the infiltration team escaped.

After the battle of Jachin Due, Athrun and Cagalli, Kira and Lacus started dating, but Kira and Athrun left on the freighter, Saviour to explore the mysteries of Seed, leaving Lacus and Cagalli to hammer together the New Republic. Commander Waltfeld, now leader of Rogue Squadron after Mwu's disappearance at Jachin Due, went on a tour of worlds that were joining the New Republic for the next year after the destruction of Genesis.

Captain Ramius of the Archangel mourned after the war, as she thought that her lover, Mwu had died, but in reality he had been taken by the Empire to the notorious Lodonia research facility…said to be the private prison of Gilbert Dullindal who rose from the ashes of Jachin Due to become the leader of the Empire. After spending six months at Lodonia where his memory was tampered with, Mwu was commissioned as Colonel Neo Lorrnoke of the Empire under Warlord Jibril who had been in charge of waging the war against the Rebellion.

After another three months, Neo was shot down but managed to survive. Captain Ramius of the Archangel personally went down to capture the Empire's leader and was shocked when she found that it was Mwu, unchanged, albeit with a few extra scars. She was able to break through the tampering and make Mwu remember his real past again and they were reunited. However, having been a prisoner of Lodonia, Alliance High Command was unable to put much trust in him, thinking that he would betray the Alliance at the worst time.

It has now been one and a half years since the battle of Jachin Due. The leaders of the Rebellion, Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Athha decided that to make the New Republic truly legitimate they would have to conquer PLANT, the capital world. Supreme Commander Admiral Todaka feels that it is time to reassemble Rogue Squadron for its greatest mission yet, the taking of the Empire's Capital, PLANT. But with Rogue squadron's veterans, Kira and Athrun off exploring the mysteries of Seed, and Dearka and Yzak off training new squadrons, Admiral Todaka gave Commander Waltfeld no choice but to recruit new pilots or transfer/steal pilots from other squadrons. Warlord Jibril also declared independence from the Imperial government forming his own Empire in the Outer Rim.

Notes: I am powering up the Murasame and the Gouf Ignited to fit in with the fact that my Gundam Rogue Squadron is meant to be the most elite squadron in the galaxy like Rogue Squadron is in the SW galaxy. And right now due to a lack of pilots I am going to have only two flights in my Gundam Rogue squadron for now.

Wingpairs will be decided later.

Couples: Kira x Lacus, Athrun x Cagalli, Shinn x Stellar, Mwu x Murrue so far...more later. Heh!

A/N: Please tell me what you think! And I hope you enjoy this crossover. For those of you that don't know, the brief history covers the SW events of Episode 4,5 and 6. This story will mirror the Bantam era of Star Wars novels (post ROTJ) which is the best era of SW novels.

You're good Shinn, but you're no Kira Yamato. - recognise this anyone?
