AD 2020- After much deliberation, the United Nations announces plans to colonize the Antarctic Continent. In a span of month's settlers from the United States of America, European Union, Russian Federation, Australia, and Asia move to colonize the Ice Continent. 13 dome cities are built under the ice using new, advanced thermal equipment, while on the surface, Solar Panels, and Power windmills that supply the cities' power are built.
AD 2022-Kirch Bancroft is Born in the United States
AD 2035- After 15 years, and after mining the unlimited amount of resources the settlers ask permission from the UN to Declare Independence. After a month of waiting, the UN permits the 13 districts to declare independence, and the United Republic of Anarctica is born.
AD 2040- Political upheaval in Russia results in the formation of a new isolationist government. Contact with the Government seemingly fades away. The United States, as well as other member nations of the U.N fear the worst.
Loenov Noez Komarov is born in the Antarctic city New Manhattan.
AD 2042- Several Middle Eastern Nations withdraw from the United Nations.
Through intelligence reports, North Korea and China were reported to be mustering military forces and creating weapons of war.
AD 2043- World War III takes place after the President of the United States was assassinated by a Middle eastern Terrorist. Before the Terrorist was able to commit suicide, it was revealed that Russia was underhandedly aiding multiple terrorist organizations by providing illegal arms, and intelligence. Angered by this traitorous act and the assassination, America and its allies declare war upon Russia, and its allies of China, North Korea, and various Middle Eastern territories. Antarctica and Japan, however, remains Neutral in the war.
AD 2045- Along with WWIII, ethnic and religious problems surface. These problems eventually escalate into several religious and ethnic mini-wars against various people.
AD 2047- All out war ravages dozens of countries. Multiple countries are merged and reorganized. Constant fighting resulted in the deaths of millions of civilian and countless soldier casualties. During the war, new technologies are formally developed to create trump cards that could better the opposition. As a result of the ongoing war, the environment quickly starts to deteriorate. The remaining fossil fuels slowly becomes exhausted, leading to a fuel crisis. The Antarctica Republic is unaffected by this, due to the vast amount of resources they have, except they leave the oil resources alone. Refugees begin flooding to Japan, and to the Antarctic Republic. During the War as the Anarctic Republic and Japan stayed neutral, they began making communications with each other, making a strong bond.
AD 2048- Nuclear missiles were employed by Russia, China, and North Korea near the frontlines of Central Asia, near the Kashmir region. Leading to the devastation of half the continent, resulting it in being uninhabitable for dozens of years to come. Millions die from the impact and others were affected by the resulting radiation.
The resulting shock of the devastation being wrought becomes apparent to all the leaders of Earth's countries. Peace Talks are immediately implemented after the bombing at Antarctica. The Bombing was officially called "the Kashmir Apocalypse" by the entire world.
AD 2048 to AD 2050- Due to the high tensions still prevalent, Peace Talks were done carefully and over the course of several years. Little conflict was noted to have taken place.
AD 2051- After dozens of peace talks, peace was finally agreed.The previous national order has been radically changed, and new powers like the North American Federation, the East Asian Empire, and the Republic of Eurasia, have emerged. Other Nations such as the Equatorial Union, the Kingdom of Scandinavia, the United States of South America, the Allied States of Africa, and the Kingdom of Kurdistan are also formed. However, due to the previous war and its ending results, tensions still run high but a door for the brighter future remains.
AD 2052-the UN announces a new space development program. Construction of the first O'Neil Cylinder (Island 3) type space colony at Lagrange point 1. The United Republic of Antarctica immediately follows suit with it's own Homestead-Class cylinder type colony at Lagrange point 4. Construction of the Lunar city Aristoteles begins.
The North American Federation establishes the Federal Space Force (FSF). The Republic of Eurasia, and The United Republic of Antarctica, follow suit.
AD 2054/S.C 01-The First O'Neil Cylinder space station is completed. A few months later, the first Homestead space colony is completed in L4, this is received with great celebration as the first immigrants arrive days after it's completion. Work resumes on building more of these colonies. A new invention, the Exo-Frame suit, is pressed into service. The world now adapts the Solar Century (SC) calendar.
S.C 02- The Lunar City, Aristoteles is completed.
Antarctica announces plans to build a Mass Driver on East Falkland Island off the South American coast, in order to cut down construction time of colonies. This is received with admiration, envy, and even jealousy by a few of the other nations, because the Antarctic was first to think of a Mass Driver. Before the announcement, the Antarctic Republic asked permission from the USSA to annex the Island, and even paid billions worth of resources to obtain them, which the USSA warmly received because of the bad economyit had at the time. The Kingdom of Scandinavia, the Equatorial Union, the kingdom of Kurdistan, the Independent Japanese Empire, and the Allied States of Africa, also announce their full support of the construction of the Mass Driver.
S.C 05- Loenov Komarov moves from New Manhattan, too the Antarctic Homestead colony Cincinnati.
S.C 06- Construction on the Eurasian Bernal Sphere Type Colonies at L2 begin.
S.C 08- After six long years, the East Falklands Mass Driver is completed, celebrations erupt in the Antarctic, as well as the Nations who supported the program. The Nations soon cement a relationship that will come in handy in the future.
S.C 11- Construction of the Habilis Mass Driver begins on the shore of Lake Victoria.
During this time the DSSD or Deep Space Survey Division is established by the UN.
S.C 13-Loenov and Kirch move too the L2 Colony cluster too assist in their construction, where they meet for the first time.
S.C 15- Construction of the Bernal Sphere Colonies in L2 are completed. Construction of additional colonies continue.
S.C 17- Habilis Mass Driver Complete.
S.C 21- The 4 Vesta Asteroid is dragged into Lunar Orbit, along with many other smaller asteroids, to act as building material for future colonies and other needs.
S.C 23- Construction of Valhalla, the Kingdom of Scandinavia's first colony, begins in L3.
S.C 24- Japanese Empire begins construction of the Kyushu Mass Driver to mark the beginning of their own space program. The Antarctica, along with Scandinavia, Kurdistan, the USSA, and Africa give their full support to the Japanese.
S.C 26- Loenov Komarov begins to propagate his philosophy of Colon-ism (the belief the colonies should be treated as sovereign nations).
S.C 27- Kirch Bancroft marries Lacus Fra
S.C 30- The North American Federation establishes a lunar base in the Ptolemaeus Crater, drawing international condemnation, Antarctica most of all, and unveils it's first series of Mobile Armors. Earth's major powers begin a arms race.
In response to this, construction begins on a Military Defense Station, by the United Republic of Antarctica.
S.C 31- The Kyushu Mass Driver is complete. Almost immidiatly afterwards Japan begins construction of their first colonies at L4 with Antarctica.
S.C 33- Loenov announces the his concept for a new type of space colony, and construction of these new colonies begins. This project is funded mainly by the North American Federation, the Republic of Eurasia, the United Republic of Antarctica, and the East Asian Empire. The new L2 colony cluster is to be managed by representatives of these sponsor nations, although, Anarctica is opposed to the idea of the sponsor-nations running the new colonies, but their complaint is overruled.
Construction on Valhalla is complete.
S.C 37- Construction on the Villa Verde Defense Station is complete. This causes concern for the Atlantic Federation, but the President of the United Republic of Antarctica assures it is to protect it's interests and citizens from pirates, who have been causing trouble, nothing more.
S.C 40-The first ten new space colonies of the L2 cluster are completed. These colonies, dubbed as Noez Hourglass Types, are intended to serve as large-scale production sites.
S.C 42- Loenov and his supporters respectfully ask for independence from the earth governments. Though Antarctica and Japan are supportive of the idea, however, the North American Federation and its own allies refuse. This act angers the Antarctic, who was in similar shoes as the L2 Colonies were so many years ago.
S.C 45- Dispite being refused independence, Loenov continues spreading his belief, and his recently proposed 'Newtype' theory. In his Theory, he proposes that mankind was destined to leave the Earth for space, where they would evolve into a new stage of evolution, called the Newtype.
This philosophy was accepted by many people to the point that it became superstition, and it became a name for those with strange and exceptional abilities.
One such believer, was an Engineer who researched into new power systems, and was one of the creators of the new Solar Power Generation system used on the colonies, and in several ships. His name was Clavius Vieta.
S.C 47- Growing ever resentful of the other sponsor-nations treatment of the L2 colonies, and fearing war may be on the horizon, the President of Antarctica calls the leaders of the Kingdom of Scandinavia, the Equatorial Union, the Kingdom of Kurdistan, the Allied States of Africa, the IJE, and the USSA to a secret meeting in the Colony of New Philadelhpia. There, they discuss the conditions of the looming crisis ahead. For a week, the leaders talked, and finally Antarctica proposes the formation of an alliance of nations, if the need should arise. The President of the USSA, unfortunately, but respectfully, declines the offer. While the Princess of Kurdistan, wasn't sure if an alliance is what her people would want or needed at the time, so she as well backed down from the offer. But kept it in mind.
S.C. 50- In order to obtain autonomy and trading independence for the L2 Colonies, Loenov Komarov and Kirch Bancroft form the political organization known as the Noez Underground Alliance. They begin working to abolish food production restrictions and secure self-defense rights for L2, but the North American Federation, the more aggressive of the Sponsor Nations, suppress their efforts.
S.C. 53- Kirch Bancroft begins to become angered by the North American's treatment of their colonies, and believes that action may be required. Loenov, however, still believes that there is a way for a peaceful way fro them too have independence.
S.C. 54 - Clavius Vieta comes too Loenov about his 'Newtype Theory'. He explains too Loenov in secret that he has a theory on how too accelerate the 'Awakening' of Newtype's. What his plans were, no one knows other than Loenov himself, who agreed and began secretly funding his newly established operations at the Stanford torus-type space colony 'Hope' at L5.
S.C. 56-Construction on the new Ring world-type colonies begins at L2. In theory, it is believed that these colonies can hold billions of citizens.
S.C 57- The L2 Colonies become major sources of Earth's energy and manufactured goods. The Sponsor-Nations continue to reap ever greater benefits, and impose ever heavier quotas on the L2 colonies. Meanwhile, other nations, including the Antarctic Republic, grow ever increasingly resentful of the Sponsor-Nations monoply profits.
S.C 60- The L2 Energy Production Department is destroyed by terrorism from an unknown faction. The L2 Representatives proposes a temprorary suspension of exports, but the Sponsor-Nations, much to the chagrin of the Antarctic Republic, reject the suggestion, sending L2 into a severe energy crisis. When L2 engineers start carrying out coordinated acts of sabotage, the Sponsor-Nations respond by threatening the colonies with their fleet of Mobile Armors. Antarctica responded that it will cease all exports of valuable resources if the Sponsor-Nations dont stop their intimidating maneuvers.
Within the L2 coloniess, the calls for Autonomy grow louder. Loenov Komarov and Kirch Bancroft become leaders of a Supreme Council faction which seeks independence from the Sponsor-Nations. Research into the military applications of mobile suits begins. Antarctica's Intelligence Office catches on to this with interest and plants agents within the project.
S.C 63- Clavius Vieta contacts Loenov that he may have made a breakthrough on his research. However, before Loenov could see for himself what he meant, the Hope colony was attacked by unknown Terrorists. The colony was rendered uninhabitable, Clavius went missing, presumed dead, and the Data concerning his Project was also gone..
S.C 65- The first prototype Mobile Suit is secretly rolled out, however the planted Antarctican Agents send data back to the homeland along with a second prototype, built in secret, for further study. The Alliance steps up it's activites and attracts more sympathizers.
S.C 67- The ZGTF-100 Zaku, the first fully functional mobile suit is completed. A section of Daikun City is secretly converted and begins producing Mobile Suits. Loenov was oppose too the idea of mobile suits, however, Kirch said that they were 'just in case'. As such, the Lagrange Point 2 Colonies formed the 'Noez Militia'
Meanwhile in the Antarctic Republic Colony, Castleguarde, the Liberty Electronics Inc. builds the Self-Defense Forces first combat Mobile Suit, the TMSF-081 Patriot.
S.C 68- Loenov Komarov is elected chairman of the Supreme Council. The Noez Supreme Council, now dominated by supporters of their independence, votes to autonomy and trade independence it's highest priority. The Sponsor-Nations respond with a show of armed force, but the l2 colonies carry out a military expansion of their own, and a standoff ensues. During this, many began calling the L2 Colonies the Republic of Noez.
Chairman Komarov makes secret arrangements with imports of food and exports of manufactured goods with the United States of South America, the Oceania Union, the Allied States of Africa, the kingdom of Kurdistan, and the United Republic of Antarctica.
Mandlebrot Incident- A food convoy from the United States of South America, under the protection of the Antarctic 3rd Fleet, en route to L2, comes under attack by an Atlantic Federation Task Force. Three transports and one Antarctic Lewis-Class destroyer, the ARS-Clark, are destroyed. During this incident, the Antarctican Military deploy their Mobile Suits for the first time. News of the Antarctic's Mobile Suits spreads, and shocks the entire Earth Sphere, including L2, as they wondered how the United Republic of Antarctica started building Mobile Suits and for how long, for they knew this was no mere coincidence. The Council Government in New Manhattan having no knowlegde of this, orders a explanation from Liberty Electronics and the Intelligence Department. Their reply was that with the deteriorating situation right now, the Republic must be prepared for anything.
In response to the Mandlebrot Incident, Kirch then sends agents to find out how Antarctica found out about their MS project and how long they've been producing Mobile Suits.
S.C 69- The first Ring World Type Colonies are Completed, the first being christened 'Genesis' witch would soon become the Capital of the L2 colonies. The Ring world colonies are not only large enough too house entire cities, but also dozens of agricultural settlements, and near perfect natural earth-like environments and weather patterns. They soon begin Decomissioning their aging Bernal Sphere colonies in favor for the Ring worlds, selling them for scrap, refitting them for other uses, or selling them too other nations for their own uses.
The sponsor nations, determined to prevent them from producing their own food begin intimidation maneuvers. At this point, Noez and it's mobile suit forces make their combat debut, overwhelming Earth's Mobile Armors and driving the forces of the Sponsor-Nations out of their air-space.
S.C 70- The North American Federation sees the usefulness in mobile suits, and quickly begins their own development project. However, they rushed their first ones, hence the MBS-01 Yeti was created as a cheap knock-off of the Zaku Though the Yeti is variable in uses, and slightly faster in space combat, the Zaku and Patriot are far Superior too the Yeti, and its sister all-ground-use MBS-02 'Sasquatch'. However dispite this, The Federation continues production of the Yeti's and Sasquatch's. Many of these suits, due too their cheap production and purchase costs, end up in the militaries of Kurdistan and Africa, as well as several terrorist and pirate groups.
After the death of the old Emperor of the East Asian Empire, the new Emperor, Dai Shun, proclaimed that he will 'Reunify' All of East Asia. As such, be begins an armed invasion of Japanese controlled Manchuria, followed by North and South Korea, and utilizing the MBS-01 Yeti and MBS-02 Sasquatch in his forces.
Because of this, Japan declares war with the East Asian Empire. Using mobile suits from Antarctica, they managed to repel the East Asian's invasion of the Japanese homeland, and reclaimed Korea, Manchuria, and Sakhalin. The War overall lasted for most of S.C 70, and at its end, the war was called the Oriental Rim War.
S.C 71- Loenov Komarov dies from unknown causes (possibly assassination), but Kirch Bancroft claims that Loenov declared that he named himself as his Successor. However many supporters of Loenov, believed that Kirch may have killed him.
Kirch Bancroft declares himself sovereign and establishes the Principality of Noez. Loenov Komarov's followers are purged, and his children are presumed dead.
The Noez Militia is drastically expanded, and becomes the Noez Military Forces (NMF)
S.C 72- Captain James Cutter of the North American Federation's 12th Fleet recognizes the mobile suit's effectiveness in space combat, due to the Antarctic Republic's and Noez's Mobile Suit Forces, and proposes the development of the "G-Series". Cutter's proposal is rejected by his superiors, but some of them provide assistance so that the project can proceed in secret. Unbeknownst to them, an Antarctic agent is part of Cutter's research staff and sends a report to his superiors, they order him to keep watch on the project.
S.C 73-
The American Declaration- The North American Federation announces the formation of the Earth Sphere Alliance. Knowing that this so-called Alliance could mean trouble, President Stella Maine of Antarctica, calls upon the leaders of the Kingdom of Scandinavia, the IJE, The ASA, and the Equatorial Union, to meet at the East Falkland Mass Driver, in South America.
2.8- The East Falkland Declaration- The Antarctic Republic, Kingdom of Scandinavia, Allied States of Africa, Independent Japanese Empire, and the Equatorial Union form an alliance, each having similar roles to stay neutral and independent. In this moment, the Independent State Allied Force (ISAF) is formally announced. The militaries of these nations are integrated, and the Allies, as they would be called, control three Mass Drivers, one in East Falkland, one in Japan, and one in Africa. In space they have the Japanese, Antarctican Naval Space Fleets, and the fledgling KOS Fleet, 46 space colonies, and The Villa Verde Space Station. This shocks the world, including the North American Federation.
S.C 75- Noez begins the development of several new mobile suit production facilities.
S.C 76- Anticipating an Invasion, Noez begins development of ground-use mobile suits. Antarctica and the ISAF follows suit and begins development of Ground-use Patriots and more.
S.C 78- Kirch Bancroft dies of natural cause, and states in his will that his son, Dorsa Bancroft, shall succeed him. Dorsa shortly after declares a state of national mobilization. His forces are divided into his Space Assault/Defense forces commanded by his twin brother Sinus, and a mobile assault force lead by his own wife.
S.C 79- The Earth Sphere War begins on January 12th Solar Century 79. The Principality of Noez declares war upon the Earth Sphere Federation, immediately attacking its colonies on the moon, the lunar Colony of Aristoteles is captured in just one week of fighting, along with countless other cities.
1.27-The battle of Lagrange 1 takes place. The Noez 18th fleet clashes with the ESA's 3rd fleet nearby the L1 Colony Cluster. The ESA deployed Nuclear Weapons, as did Noez. When the battle ended, most of the L1 Colonies were destroyed with most of their populations, ranging too the total casualty rate being around 750,000, most of witch being civilian colonies being caught in the crossfire. During the battle, Zar Hellfury single-handedly sinks Five ESA Battleships, one Super Space Carrier, and countless smaller ships and Yeti's. Gaining his nick-name as the Devil of Mendeleev.
1.30- After the massive losses of life in the one battle, both sides call for a cease fire and both sides of the war meet at Antarctica, much like Russia and America did so many years ago. Though the war goes on, the Antarctic Treaty forbids the use of Nuclear, or Biological weapons in the war.
2.4- Noez forms an Earth Attack Force, lead by Isaev Bancroft, the son of Dorsa Bancroft. The following month, Isaev begins a series of drop operations around North America, Eurasia, and other nations with the ESA.
3.7- ESA forces launch an armed invasion of the United States of South America in order too gain their Mass Driver. The Panama Spaceport is seized by force and the ESA annexes the South American Continent.
Before the NAF could even think of gaining the Falklands as well, the USSA president ordered all troops in the Falkland Islands to surrender to ISAF forces stationed there.
In reponse to the invasion and the forced annexation of South America, ISAF deploys troops, and two new models of Mobile Suits, based solely on Ground Combat, to the Falkland Islands to protect the East Falkland Spaceport and it's Mass Driver.
3.8- Noez launches two full-scale invasions, one being at Victoria too claim its Mass Driver, the other launched an invasion of England. The England Invasion was a success, however the attempt too capture the Victorian Mass Driver fails.
4.10- The Raid of Oratorio- Noez forces lead by Victor Amsel attacks North America directly, and landed forces at Oratorio Canada. During the battle, Victor used heavy weaponry against the city, killing most of the inhabitants. Among the casualties was Ryu Hisanaga's known family.
4.11- After the raid, Dorsa awards Victor for his actions in demoralizing the ESA, witch is received by Ryu Hisanaga, who is enraged by this. He, as well as his squadron 'The Falcon Team' lead by Yuna Falcon, then launch too attack Noez directly using their customized Yeti's, and Ryu's Captured Noez prototype mobile suit, the ZGTF-X00 'The X'. During the battle, known as 'The Dragon's Warpath', nearly the whole Noez 18th space fleet is wiped out by the team, with most casualties from Ryu himself. Only after the arrival of Ashir Asuka, Alayas Bancroft, and Zar Hellfury, did the Falcon Team retreat, with Ryu Swearing one day he will kill Victor.
4.12-The ESA begins the Titan Project
5.15- The MBS-04 Yeti Kai, a more advance variant too the original Yeti, is put into production. This mobile suit, armed with slightly better weapons, prove too hold on its own much better against a Zaku that the original Yeti.
6.17- The first Battle of Kyshatrya- The Earth Sphere Alliance's 5th and 6th Fleets set out from the Najada Asteroid base in L1 to attack the Noez homeland, but the Noez forces intercept in the vincinity of the Resource Sattelite, Kyshatrya.
8.3- Noez begins an offensive whose ultimate target is the Najada Asteroid base. A Noez base is established in the Lorentz Crater, and the moon is divided along what becomes known as the Grimaldi Front.
9.22- Noez's campaign to capture terrestial bases begins in earnest. Using the England Base as a staging area, Noez launches an invasion of the Mediterranean Region near Europe and Kurdistan.
9.25- Noez and ESA forces begin fighting in Kurdistan for the Oil Resources in the region, as well as control for the Mass Driver built in former Iran. The Kingdom of Kurdistan is forced too fight both sides of the war.
11.30- The Battle of Bagdad- Noez ground forces defeat a massive ESA tank/Mobile suit corps at Bagdad Iraq, and George Mason earns the nickname "The Desert Wolf" for his exploits in this battle. It is here that the true inferiority of the Yeti and Sasquatch have against Noez's Zaku Series. Corner industries begins work on the Titan series using captured tech from Noez mobile suits.
12.24- The Christmas Massacre- The battle of the Lomonosov crater, one of the ESA's last two Footholds on the moon. The ESA looses its 3rd Fleet, but is able to use a 'Cyclopes' system, a microwave energy superweapon based off of the same technology used too heat Antarctica's cities under the ice,, to wipe out the Noez forces. Many ESA forces are also sacrificed in the process.
ISAF officials are shocked and disgusted that the Alliance could use such a System that was based off of their own system used to build cities under ice-covered landscapes, not used as a weapon to kill not only Noez soldiers, but the unfortunate Alliance troops that were sacrificed as well.
S.C 80- The first of the Titan Series begins too be deployed in limited production too test their use. During the course of this year, no major battles occur with the exceptions of:
5.12- The battle of the Mediterranean Sea- a large naval battle between Noez forces and Eurasia begins. It is in this battle Noez deploys its aquatic mobile suit the UMW-150 Zanog. The battle ends with Noez victory, and they gain control of Crate island, and begin an operation too take all of Southern Europe.
9.4- Operation: Judgment- Though the exact details of the battle are unknown, what is released too the public was that rogue Noez forces took one of their abandoned Bernal Sphere colonies, and set it on a collision course with the Earth, originally aimed at the ESA's military headquarters at Oahu, Hawaii. However the colony drop goes off course, and impacts against Manila, the capital of the Philippine islands. Killing 891,557 people. The ISAF state that if another Colony Drop is used by either side, it would declare war upon the responcible nation. Noez replied too this by executing most of the surviving soldiers who participated in the attack, since it was reportedly not funded by Noez, and Dorsa says that he is regeatful such an act went about without his knowing. However, rumors that he had funded the attack, continued to spread.
10.5- the ESA begins their operations too break through Noez's forces on the moon, and begins a push using their last lunar base, Timokharius as a staging point. The operation takes place at Noez Lunar Defense zone B7R, otherwise known, as the Round Table. During the first few months of the battle, several aces are born. John Cypher, the Demon Lord of the Round Table, and Ryu Hisanaga, the Dragon of the Round Table, are just two examples. However, During the battle, more than half of the Falcon Team, including Yuna Falcon, Ryu's Fiancée, are K.I.A. Ryu, in anger, manages too take out 1/3 of Noez's forces at B7R before being forced too retreat due too his X unit being low on energy. The Round Table remains under Noez hands to this day.
A month after the battle, Ryu Hisanaga Disappears. No one knows for sure of his exact whereabouts, but the X, his captured mobile suit, was given too John Cypher.
S.C 81- The fighting comes to an end. Both sides cease major military operations, and although small skirmishes continue on Earth, as well as in space, the overall war comes to a stalemate. However, battles for control of the colonies between the Earth and Noez continues too heat up, with many colonies being Captured, Damaged, or worse. As such, the ISAF create the Volunteer Outfit called the Independent State & Colony Defense Forces, otherwise known as the ISCDF. Technically, a Privately armed force created for the defense of the colonies, they be under ISAF jurisdiction or not.
The Mobile Suit project proposed by Commodore Cutter, now commander of the Earth Sphere Alliance's 12th Fleet is reexamined. With the assistance of Bushido industries on orders from the Noble Numukaze family, development of the G-Series, begin in earnest at Aube space colony. This was under an agreement that the ESA would share what they knew about beam weaponry they have captured from Noez, and share it with them. As long as the ESA gained at least two of the produced mobile suits.
Bushido was completely aware that they were being shadowed by Liberty Electronics, thanks to the information provided by the agent in Cutter's staff, as well as Bushido itself, as it steals G-Series data for it's own projects. In addition, a third, more secret project is started at Aube.
Construction on the Mobile Assault Ship 'Dark Colossus' begins, unknown that its production is being copied, and the ISAF begins creating its own Mobile Assault Ship.
4.13- Bushido and Liberty Electronics secretly begin construction of a new class of warship, the Morningstar-Class, they also begin development of the Cavalier project, based on the G-Series, in the Castleguarde Colony.
6.20-
Kyle Matsutani, and Arleen Bettany, now Senior LTs, are assigned to the Harkin Team under the command of Lt. Commander Joseph Nicolas-Harkin. The two are sent incognito as new students attending the Morgenroete Technical College, it is there they meet their old friends Jordan Takeo, and Matthew Takeo, as they are attending the same college as them.
12.31- The New Year Incindent- On New Year's Eve, a North American Federation naval fleet patrolling the area around the Falklands is detected by patrol boats of the ISAF 1st Antarctic Patrol Group 15 miles from the West Falkand shoreline. Fearing the boats are on a "torpedoe run", the Commdore of the Alliance Fleet panickly orders his ships to fire on the underarmed boats. Two of the boats are sunk, and 7 ISAF sailors lose their lives. This incident provokes outrage in the Antarctic homeland, and ISAF as a whole, the President of the Federation apologizes for the incident and the officer responsible for the whole fiasco is demoted and relieved of combat duty.
S.C- 82- 1.15- Activity in the Kurdistan Theater increases. Noez attacks the Afif spaceport in Former Saudi Arabia. Being so close to their territory in Africa, the ISAF council orders increased border patrols along all borders with Earth Sphere Alliance Nations, as well their space territories.
1.20- 7 GAT-X Series, two of them built in secret apart from the original plan, are secretly rolled out in Aube.
1.21-The Morningstar and 10 Cavalier Mobile Suits are secretly rolled out and soon leave Castleguarde to pick up the 2 prototypes from Aube.
1.22- a small fleet of one Johnston-class Escort Destroyer, and one Jackson-Class Battle Cruiser, launch from the 12th fleet to Aube too pick up their share of the Project, bringing the last two known members of the Falcon Team, John Cypher and Naomi Taka, with them. However, they are unaware that the ESA plans on 'Covering up' Aube so that once they gain their two prototypes, they will cause a meltdown of the colonies reactor, destroying it along with the 10,000 inhabitants. These orders are intercepted by the ISAF, and order the Morningstar and its fleet too double-time their speed too reach Aube, and evacuate the colony before its too late.
1.23- The Afif Spaceport falls.
1.24- The Asuka Team, under the command of the White Knight Ashir Asuka, finish fighting in L4, and leaving after the releaf force arrives. However, on their way back they receive a transmission of a small Noez fleet engaging two ESA ships en route too Aube, accompied by the Demon Lord and Marksman of the round table. Ashir orders the fleet too withdraw too join with his force, and too follow them just outside of their sensor range.
1.25- Now...
