.:After Colony:.
(Part Two)
The First Gundam
After the Alliance and its mobile suit corps seize control of the space colonies, the original developers of the Tallgeese go into hiding. In AC 180, five of these scientists - known only as Doctor J, Professor G, Doktor S, Instructor H, and Master O - join forces to design an advanced new mobile suit, which they hope will surpass the ones they created for OZ. They succeed beyond their wildest dreams, with the creation of the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero. The five scientists call their new mobile suit a "Gundam," after the miraculous alloy from which it is made. This super-strong Gundanium alloy can only be produced in the zero-gravity environment of space. It's also non-magnetic and radar-absorbent, making the Gundam almost undetectable by long-range sensors. The Wing Gundam Zeo is armed with powerful beam weapons, including an insanely powerful beam cannon called a twin buster rifle, which can fire devastating wide-beam blasts. The most dangerous feature of the Wing Gundam Zero, however, is its unique Zero System. This experimental control system interfaces with the human brain, transmitting combat data, tactical analysis, and even predictions of future events, directly into the pilot's brain. While it bestows almost superhuman reaction speed and fighting ability, the Zero System has the potential to override the human pilot's judgement and distort his perceptions, turning him into a berserk killing machine. Perhaps fortunately, the five scientists are discovered by OZ before they can complete the Wing Gundam Zero, and they are forced to flee with their work unfinished.
Operation Meteor and Beyond
For the next fifteen years, rebel forces in the space colonies quietly plot their revenge against the Alliance and the secret society OZ. Each of the five Gundam developers, operating independently, designs their own Gundam based on the blueprints of the Wing Gundam Zero. On April 7, AC 195, the twentieth anniversary of Heero Yuy's death, these five Gundams are sent to Earth to wage guerilla war against their oppressors. This is the beginning of Operation Meteor. The Romefeller Foundation, meanwhile, is readying a new generation of war machine, the mobile doll. This unmanned version of the mobile suit isentirely computer-controlled, allowing it to pick off its assigned targets with inhuman speed and precision. The mobile doll system is first installed as an option in the space mobile suit OZ-12SMS Taurus.
