Star Fox the Zeonic Affair
Prologue:
It goes without saying that many ideas once thought crazy led to technological advances as well as shifts in power that we pretty much take for granted today. There are also some that come from acts of desperation.
It was 0079 of the Universal Century when the Principality of Zeon declared total war on the Earth Federation. One such lesser known figure was then Lieutenant Charles Bluestone. A Earth born native, his parents were politicians pushing for colonial reform to prevent said war in the first place. However, political bottom feeders managed to use their policies against them leading to their execution for treason. One such politician later was elected head of the Oceanatic District.
When the war started, because of paranoia towards the Earth Elite, Bluestone was given command of a Chivvay-class cruiser that was in complete disrepair. Despite this, during the Battle of Loum, Bluestone's ship in an age being dominated by mobile suits, managed to score the highest ship to ship kill count of the battle, with nearly 21 Federation ships vaporized.
These efforts did not go unnoticed by Zeon High Command. Lady Kycilia recognizing his sharp tactical skills and willingness to resort to unconventional tactics quickly granted him a double promotion to Captain. She placed him as head of the Lunar Defense Fleet.
When the war finally ended in a Federation Victory, Bluestone was one of many Zeon soldiers who fled to Axis. The years passed and when Axis was ready to return to the Earth's sphere in 0088, Bluestone proposed a daring plan.
He and a small group of soldiers and civilians numbering around 20,000 would stay behind in the asteroid belt. Current technological advances, over the past 8 years made many things possible, such a practical cryogenics, universal reusable physic controlled weapons, as well as new forms of MS construction and armor. Most of the above would be sold to the highest bidder to fund Axis later known as Neo-Zeon's war effort against the Federation.
Bluestone himself felt it was way too soon to renew the war, but also knew that the internal conflicts occurring in the Earth's sphere presented a unique opportunity. With permission from his superiors, Bluestone and his force of 20,000 strong retrofitted a smaller asteroid with I-Field and Magnetic Distortion Drive engines as well as enough cryo-chambers for everyone in his force. This project was to serve as a back-up for remnants of Zeon to flee the solar system itself and seek out a new inhabitable fatherland should Axis war against the Federation fail.
Eventually, this came to pass and preparations went into a frenzy to get everything prepared. The Federation having found out of this at the end of the first Neo-Zeon war was prepared to send a task force to destroy Bluestone's remnant fleet, however in 0092, Char Azanble, better known as the Red Comet, reformed Neo-Zeon and declared war against the Federation.
This brought Bluestone and his forces time, for the forces originally built up to attack him were now being inscripted to the second Neo-Zeon war. Even though this war only lasted 3 weeks, it was just enough time for all final preparations to be put in place.
On New Year's Day 0093, Bluestone and his forces entered suspended animation. The experimental engines ignited, and the small asteroid known as Second Axis accelerated to nearly the speed of light, thrusting it out of the solar system. For the next 1,500 years, the asteroid would travel from star to star, its internal computers analyzing everything from the condition of the personnel to the external elements to see if they were compatible for human life.
Finally, in UC 1593 the small asteroid fortress found an inhabitable world. It was one-third smaller than earth, but it was almost identical to what was left behind. Half ocean and half land, its all around temperatures were similar to the Pacific Northwest of the old world. The computer decided that this was the perfect place. Atmospheric pumps, heaters, and internal air supplies instantly went back online. People slowly awakened from their long slumber, for the new Fatherland had been found.
However, close by another inhabited system was coming off of a nearly cataclysmic war.
Note: No readers, you're not confused. This is a Star Fox Gundam crossover. I'm just doing it in a way that will make sense to my previous readers. Also note that this takes place after Assault and Command never happened.
Please read, review and recommend.
