Humanity has broken free of their terrestrial bonds and have established gigantic space colonies at the Lagrange Points in Earth’s orbit. But mankind has not been able to leave behind everything.
Consumed in a bitter war between national factions, Earth itself appeared on the verge of destroying itself when a terrifying new force arose from a remote region in China. They were the Musk.
Although relatively few in number, they possessed an overwhelming new war machine. They called it ... the Mobile Suit.
The MS were enormous humanoid exo-skeletons manned by a single operator; yet possessing the firepower of an entire army. Fast, maneuverable, incredibly agile, with nearly invulnerable armor and awesome strength, the Mobile Suit were the deciding factor against sheer numbers, clumsy tanks, fragile airplanes, and the other military forces arrayed against them. They were unmatched in battle and soon, the Musk had emerged as the new dominant government as the United Earth Alliance.
Not content with their conquest of the planet itself, the Musk soon turned their attention to the Colonies, seizing them one by one, oppressing it’s citizens and stripping the colonists of many of their freedoms.
It is the Year 195 After Colony. The growing frustration and tyranny of the Musk and their mighty Mobile Suits have sown the seeds of a revolution. All that is needed is a single spark.
An underground resistance force believes they have the answer. A new generation of Mobile Suits. Code named the Gundam.

In a dark and windowless room, the only illumination came from numerous glowing screens that flashed numbers and graphics. A short and small man sat peering into a glowing screen and lit his pipe. Smoke circled around his bald head as he continued to watch the screen.
“...not ready.” one voice mumbled.
“Unfortunately we have run out of time,” another voice interrupted from the speaker grill.
The small man removed his pipe and spoke up, “Agreed. We must act quickly or all is lost,” he said solemnly.
Another voice came from the speaker, it’s aged voice cackled, “Any further delay will cost us more. I vote yea.”
The small man nodded, “Yes for me as well.”
There is a pause and then over the speaker unit, “Agreed,” a deep voice rumbled over the speaker, clearly heavy with regret.
A young female voice said yes from the speaker. And another voice, this time a male one spoke, “Yes.”
And so it was done. The old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath and then opened them again to stare into the screen and the other four shadowy figures displayed on it. “All of us are in agreement then,” he said softly and then straightened his spine, as much as he could and intoned, “Dispatch your operatives. Prepare the Vehicles. Operation J will commence in two hours.”
One by one, the figures nodded and their images winked out leaving behind only static snow on the viewscreen.
And so it began.
