Mobile Suit Gundam Revolution

 Mobile Suit Gundam Blade

Introduction
The year is 2467. Humanity has broken free of Earth’s atmosphere and now, through the immense power of space transportation, has access to every corner of the solar system. Dozens of massive, artificial stations--known as colonies--now house millions of the ever-growing human population while terraforming domes and mining operations litter the surfaces of the solar system’s planets. Our species now enjoys massive improvements in medicine, engineering, and living quality the likes of which our ancestors never dreamed.

But this golden age of innovation and progress has not been without cost. Much of Earth’s old national forms of government have collapsed or been absorbed into the multinational conglomerate that emerged from what was once the United Nations: the Solar Coalition. Headed by politicians from the former United States, Russian Federation, and the People’s Republic of China, the Solar Coalition’s goal was to lead Earth and its space colonies into an era without wars and petty squabbles between nations, and to that end it waged the so-called Unification War to bring an end to the independence of the smaller nations and colonies.

Many are opposed to unification, and the Coalition’s enemies fight fiercely to preserve their independence. But after a brutal war that ravages many space colonies and battlegrounds on Earth, the Coalition emerges victorious in its goal to unite humanity under one banner. Its leaders believe that they can move forward to eliminate the internal problems live crime and poverty that still plague the world, but insurgents in many conquered areas continue to rise up in fruitless but destructive bids at freedom. The Coalition is forced to maintain a massive military force to protect the peace, a force with a backbone of the massive humanoid fighting vehicles known as Mobile Suits.

With so much of the Coalition’s resources being pooled for military purposes, the things it once set out to destroy instead become more rampant. The gap between rich and poor widens ever further, organized crime spreads corruption and unrest throughout the Coalition, and rebels and mercenary groups converge on the furthest reaches of the solar system, safe from the Coalition’s military. Even as more scientific progress is achieved, the Coalition is beginning to buckle under its own weight.

And it will be a small incident at one of its military’s secret programs that lights the spark of complete reformation...
