Organizations:
Operation
Meteor: The space
colonists' plan for revenge against the Alliance and the secret society which
controls it. The operation is launched on April 7, AC 195- twenty years to the
day after OZ assassins killed colony leader Heero Yuy. As part of Operation
Meteor five advanced Gundam mobile suits are sent to Earth, disquised as
shooting stars, to wage guerilla war against the Alliance military.
OZ:
As a corporate subsidary of the Romefeller Foundation, OZ developed the first
military mobile suits. Around AC 175. OZ was refashioned into a secret society,
dedicated to carrying out Romefeller Foundation's plans. Most of the Specials
are in fact OZ members, and through thiselite fighting force, OZ has inflicted
the Alliance military and influenced its policies.
Romefeller
Foundation: An
industrial combine controlled by European aristocrats, which develops and
produces the Alliance's mobile suits. The Romefeller Foundation is also a major
financial backer of the Alliance, and through the secret society OZ- disquised
as the elite "Specials" force- it secretly manipulates the Alliance
for its own purposes.
Special
Mobile Suit Corps ("Specials"): An
elite branch of the Alliance military, made up of Romefeller Foundation
employees. The Specials were established in AC 176 as the Alliance's first
mobile suit force. Though other military branches have adopted mobile suits over
the last twenty years, the Specials still have the most advanced equipment,
training, and tactics.
Sweeper
Group: An elite
branch of the Alliance military, made up of Romefeller Foundation employees. The
Specials were established in AC 176 as the Alliance's first mobile suit force.
Though other military branches have adopted mobile suits over the last twenty
years, the Specials still have the most advanced equipment, training, and
tactics.
United
Earth Sphere Alliance:
The world government that rules Earth and its space colonies. Established in AC
133, after decades of warfare between Earth's nations, the Alliance was created
to unify the human race in peace and prosperity. From the beginning, however,
the Alliance used military force to accomplish its noble goals. Now, after
decades of crushing rogue nations and bullying the space colonies, it's widely
despised as a repressive dictatorship.
Weapons:
Beam
cannon: Far more
powerful than a beam rifle, this heavy weapon fires a wide beam of slow-moving
particles that can destroy even Gundanium armor.
Beam rifle:
This particle beam weapon is part of the standard mobile suit arsenal. It fires
a narrow beam that can pierce most conventional armor. Beam rifles are powered
by replaceable energy packs, which hold enough stored power for roughly twenty
shots.
Buster rifle:
The main weapon of the Wing Gundam, which can fire either a narrow beam akin to
that of a beam rifle, or a huge blast like that of a beam cannon. Its energy
supply allows only three shots in the latter mode.
Beam saber:
A close-combat weapon used by both the Alliance's Leo mobile suit and many of
the Gundams. It generates an energy blade that can cleave through a normal
mobile suit with a single blow.
Dobergun:
A shell-firing cannon used by the Alliance's Leo mobile suit. Its immense recoil
makes it difficult to handle, but it's one of the most powerful weapons
available for the Leo.
Hyper jammer:
A stealth device used by the Gundam Deathscythe. The hyper jammer emits
mysterious particles that scramble enemy cameras, making the Gundam invisible to
visual sensors as well as radar.
Gundam:
An advanced mobile suit made entirely from Gundanium alloy, from which it
derives it name. Thanks to its Gundanium construction, a Gundam is not only
virtually indestructible, but is also invisible to radar and thus can only be
detected at close range. Five Gundams were created by rebel space colonists for
use in Operation Meteor, with firepower and performance far surpassing that of
the Alliance's mass-produced mobile suits.
Gundanium alloy:
A unique compound which can only be produced in the zero-gravity conditions of
space. In addition to its incredible strength, Gundanium alloy is electrically
nonconductive and cannot be detected by radar. However, this material is
expensive and difficult to manufacture, making it unfeasible for mass
production.
Mobile suit:
A humanoid vehicle operated by a human pilot. Military mobile suits stand about
16 meters tall, and carry hand weapons like machine guns, beam rifles, and beam
sabers. Most are designed for a specific environment - land, space, air or water
- though the Alliance's standard Leo model is flexible enough to be adapted for
both land and space use.
