The Ascent

History
The origins of the Ascent lay within the people of Earth. When travelling into space became much easier with the construction of the first orbital elevator, the world blocks decided that, with jails and prisons globally becoming filled to capacity, criminals would be placed in cold storage and launched into space. This punishment was saved for only the most major crimes such as murder. These statis pods would eventually crash down on a planet similar to Earth, but without any other dominant life. The prisoners would then escape their damaged pods and construct a new life on the new world, which they named "Electio Terra", or alternate Earth.

In under 87 years, the people of Electio had construced multiple large cities, all governed by one government, The Ascent. During their time of rebirth, the population was constantly expanding as a result of further arrivals and due course. The Ascent had also managed to create their own design of mobile suits, but due to the lack of knowledge about GN-Drives, they never managed to create their own units equipped with them. Despite this, the technology used in the design was capable of matching any mobile suit utilizing a GN-Drive.
