Genocide Gundam
Episode: History
In the year 2500 AD, the world was on the verge of unification. There were two factions controlling varrying parts of the world.
The Democratic Union, which contained countris of North America, Europe and Australia, had pushed towards a new era in space travel. They had sent off a terra forming project to Mars a century earlier, and it's progession was coming to an end.
The Republic of Czar was controlled by all of Asia, Russia, Sout America and Africa. During the Union's Terra Forming progression, they had not sat idle to watch. They had colonized the moon, building cities on it in a habitat-like bubble. On top of that, huge colonies orbited the moon, which only added more to the Republic's control of space trafficing. The Terra Formers from the Union had to stop at the Colonies orbiting the moon, or stop on the Lunar Surface itself, before descending to Earth.
As a result, frictions were high, and Earth was on the verge of war. With the fear of a Nuclear war and then Fallout, the leaders of both factions had come together, to form one nation. The Earth Lunar Alliance. ELA for short. But there were those who did not wish for such a unification. At the convetnion, the Republic's ambassador was assassinated, and all fingers and evidence were pointed at the Union.
Missiles filled the air, raining down upon the earth in chaos, destroying everything. The Earth was almost annhilated, and a planet wide evacuation of those who had survived had to commence. In light of the nuclear war, leaders of both factions came together, and formed the Mars Lunar alliance.
People from Earth fled to the colonies and to Mars, the Terra Forming project having been fully completed, and pushed towards an era of what seemed to be united peace. Space travel to farther reaches of the Galaxy began. In the year 5 AF or after fallout, they found a new Galaxy, which contained life. Life that wasn't human. They breathed oxygen, like us, they had technology very similar to ours. But they were different.
The Humans from MLA looked down on these beings, with their greenish skin. Really they resembled humans to a great deal. They had different hair colors, different eye colors. The two main differences were their ears, pointed, which reminded many of old earth stories about elves, and their green tinted skin, which, from later studies, seemed to come from the color of their sun.
They, of course, were named after those Earth stories. The Elves welcomed the humans with open arms, and the leaders of the MLA tried to do so as well. But secretly, in the shadows, there was another orginization, as there always is. Politics is never a clean and fun game. The pacifist minds of the MLA council were killed off one by one in what seemed to be accidents. There was one man left, and in the absence of his political counterparts, took control.
In one hand, he grasped the MLA with an iron fist, ruling them like a dictator. In the other hand, he mobilized the military, and their large spaceships. Lazer beams rained down on the surface of the Elven homeworld. Cities were destroyed, innocent civilians were killed for no apparent reason then racism. They retaliated. In weapons known as Mobile Suits, the elves rushed off into battle. The agility and fire power of these one man space fighters was amazing, and the MLA war ships were no use against this new threat. In retaliation for the Genocide the Humans had comitted against their homeworld, the elves destroyed the Moon, killing it's one million inhabitants. A nearby colony was also destroyed, when the rubbled of the exploding moon crashed into it, and the vacuume of space claimed another five hundred thousand lives.
Full out war broke out across the known galaxy. Humans angainst Elves, both claiming genocide as their reason to fight. The real evil lurked in the background, amused at the chaos it had caused, and very pleased with the money it was making off of an inter-galactic war.
And as our story opens up, a one man space fighter, known as mobile armor, hurtled towards the barren wastes of Earth, three mobile suits on it's tail. Apparently, it had something very important to the Elves.
