---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
001 'After Colony' calendar designation decided.
Space colony development begins.
Old disputes on Earth continue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
020 At Lagrange point 5, construction begins on colony A02026. The Ron clan will
eventually be exiled here by their fearful government.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~022 Upon completion of a permanent residence space station at Lagrange Point 1
(L1), colony construction begins.
Increased participation in the colony construction due to the dislike of Earth
disputes.
Competition between all of Earth's nations foster colony construction.
Severe environmental conditions and new diseases and other things delay
construction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~040 Disputes on Earth further delay space colonization.
Hostility between colonies leads to use of force. Much damage to parts of the
colonies under construction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~050 Space immigration declines. Due to the losses from Earth conflicts, support
from the nations decrease, so colony development loses the backing of the
countries causes reconsideration of the immigration plans. Space colonization is
suspended, perhaps even postponed indefinitely.
Turning away from the crude oil industry, the entire Middle East enter the
colonization project and with much difficulty, continue it.
Colony construction begins at other Lagrange Points.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~070 Disputes break out frequently in the colonies over supplies. Pillaging is
frequent both on earth and in the colonies.
To avoid conflict, the Middle East nations sent a special envoy to each colony
as an intermediary. At the heart of it, the Middle East nations supply
asteroids. Such began their uses as resource satellites.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 L1 space colony is finished. There is a rush in colony construction. Groups
of orbiting colonies are called colony clusters.
Because of increased conflict on earth, immigration to the colonies increases
such that 15% of the total human population now lives in space.

193 Trieze Khushrenada becomes commander of OZ.
Several Winner shuttles are hijacked by the Maganacs and taken to the resource
satellite MO-II. The heir of the Winner family, Quatre Raberba Winner, is among
the hostages. With the tacit blessing of the current head of the Winners, the
Maganacs use the shuttles to transport the satellite workers, who had been
forced to remain there working, down to earth.
Sympathizing with the Maganacs who are all test-tube babies, just as Quatre
thinks he himself is, Quatre begins to look outside of himself. He catches a
traitor and gets wounded when trying to save the Maganacs leader Rashid from
being killed by that same traitor. Quatre assists in the Maganacs defense of the
departing space transports, remaining even to the end to secure the Maganacs
departure. After that is done, he takes Instructor H back with him to L4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
194 During a sabotage mission on an Alliance outpost in a L1 colony, a number of
civilians are killed when the explosions push some of the standing mobile suits
out of the outpost's territory. The boy that would be codenamed Heero Yuy is
struck with guilt, one of the civilians killed being a little girl walking her
puppy whom he had met earlier after initially setting the explosives. Dekim
orders Doctor J to retrain the boy to be rid of human compassion.
Chang Wufei is married to Ron Merian, an arrangement that doesn't really please
either side. Insisting that she is the reincarnation of the clan's guardian,
Nataku, she rides a prototype Leo to combat OZ's mobile suits which are trying
to destroy the aging colony before the Alliance's biological weapons take
effect. Wufei takes the incomplete Shenlong out to help his wife but Merian
still dies protecting him. Afterwards, Wufei agrees to ride Shenlong, renaming
it Nataku in memory of his wife, for Operation Meteor. Sally Po, commanding
officer for the Alliance forces, reports that colony L5 A02026 was destroyed.

Doktor S's discontent with the standing Operation Meteor. An unnamed worker took
the dead man's name and the Gundam Heavy Arms down to earth.
Overtaken by the Barton Foundation as they tried to escape with Gundam
Deathscythe, Duo Maxwell decides to destroy the mobile suit and then kill
everyone else aboard including himself rather than allowing Operation Meteor to
proceed. Professor G offers him another option, to steal Deathscythe and go to
earth with the mission to destroy OZ.
Quatre leaves with Sandrock from the L4 colony cluster after Instructor H tells
him to follow his conscience, ignoring the orders from the central organization.
Wufei takes Shenlong (Nataku) in anger to earth, refusing to accept the original
Operation Meteor and the dropping of his home colony.
The boy that will be codenamed Heero Yuy stops the assassination of Vice Foreign
Minister Darlian by the Barton Foundation because of the minister's knowledge of
Operation Meteor. Doctor J offers him three choices afterward: (1) to carry out
Operation Meteor as planned, (2) to kill Doctor J and escape, (3) Heero already
knows what it is. Taking option 3, Heero descends to Earth with Wing, set on
destroying both the Gundam and himself with the explosives tied to his
spacesuit.
TV series.
The now allied earth nations and space colonies unite under the Earth Sphere
Nation. A president is democratically elected. This same president secretly
signs for the formation of a special unit to deal with discontent factions still
existing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
196 Beginning on Christmas Eve, Mariameia Khushrenada announces the independence
of L3's X18999 colony and her takeover of the Earth Sphere, succeeding in her
father's place. Supported by Dehkim, her troops kidnap Vice Foreign Minister
Relena Darlian and send many mobile suit units down to secure a position on
Earth. Under Dekim's guidance, she would initiate the original Operation Meteor
to drop a colony onto the Earth if they did not give her all sovereign power.
Her plan was foiled by the Preventers and the Gundam pilots, ending with the
death of Dehkim Barton.
