 * Meanwhile the Orb Union celebrates its Fiftieth Anniversary with much celebration.
 *  CE17 –  At the New Year Celebrations for the 17th year on the Cosmic Era Calendar, the FASA and DSSD jointly announce a new combined project they are working on. The Jupiter Exploration Project with Dr. George Glenn as primary backer behind it. The Project calls for a specially built ship called the Tsiolkovsky to be sent on an exploration Mission to Jupiter, with Dr. Glenn both the chief designer of the ship and commander of the ship in question.


 * The ship starts to be constructed at the old Mars Mission Shipyard located at the Yggdrasil Space Station.
 * In conjunction with the Jupiter Exploration Project the DSSD and the SCC announce a new bold project going hand-in-hand with the Jupiter Project. This project would be known as the Extra-Earth Sphere Colonization Project, or better known as Project Orion. This project would take the large Near-Earth Orbit Asteroid known as 20119 Orion and using the newly developed Mark I Flare Motors will change its orbit into a slower more normal orbit mirroring that of Earth’s Orbit.
 *  CE18 –  Early this year the Project Orion Taskforce manages to rendezvous with the Asteroid and placement of the Flare Motors begins.


 * Three more Colonies, Neo-Lumuria, Neo-Thule, and Neo-Mu, are finished late in this year at L1, with another three at Lagrange Point 2. Six more colonies are to be built at Lagrange Point Four.
 * <p style="line-height:normal"> January 14, CE19  - The Tsiolkovsky is finished and is prepared for its mission to Jupiter. Along for the ride with the larger ship is the smaller DSSD Explorer Ship Prometheus, which mission to set up a facility at Mars and to help the struggling Martian Colonies if they need it.
 *  January 22, CE19 –  George Glenn’s Confession.  As the exploration ship Tsiolkovsky leaves the Earth-Luna System and heads for Jupiter, Captain George Glenn reveals the existence of Coordinators and his status as the First Coordinator, and releases the necessary genetic engineering techniques onto the worldwide network.


 * The world is thrown into chaos by these events.
 * <p style="line-height:normal"> January 29, CE19 –  Only a week later after the Confession an international conference is held to discuss the Coordinator controversy. In this Conference the UN makes a shocking decision to allow limited amount of this newfound Coordinator type genetic modifications if the family allows it. Many are outraged by this decision but luckily no blood is spilled over it. Even then some wealthy individuals have their children turned into Coordinators thanks to this decision.
 * <p style="line-height:normal"> February 12, CE19 –  To counter this new decision and in the name of environmental protection, the pressure and environmental protection group Blue Cosmos declares itself adamantly opposed to Coordinator technology. 
 * <p style="line-height:normal"> CE20 –  The Orion Asteroid is successfully moved from its Horseshoe orbit into a more stable normal orbit mirroring Earth’s. The new orbit puts the Asteroid 25 Million Kilometers from Earth nearly halfway between Earth and Mars.

 * <p style="line-height:normal"> May, CE21 -  A Chicago Hospital that is rumored to be creating Coordinators is set ablaze; Blue Cosmos is rumored to be behind it.
 *  July, CE21 –  Bloody July.  For thirty days Blue Cosmos and other Anti-Coordinators groups start a series of attacks on many Hospitals and Labs that are making Coordinators. However during these attacks they manage to kill many Normal people or now called just Naturals as well as Coordinators. When the people behind the attacks find this out they are horrified and stop the attacks, leaving a bloody wake behind them. They are immediately arrested and sent to prison.

With the Atlantic Federation Forming the Federal Space Forces, the Republic of East Asia the Republican Space Navy, the Eurasian Federation forms the Federal Space Guard Forces, and finally the Orb Union forming the Orb Space Defense Forces. In response to this finally companies start producing new Space Fighters and Space Warships, along them are Sphinx and Infinity.


 * Also sometime during the year the Tsiolkovsky makes its to the Mars Colonies and leaves it partner ship at the Martian Colonies before making its way to Jupiter.
 * The Project Orion is finally finished and this new colony is named the Orion Colony after the project itself. Due to this announcement some families with Coordinator Children start moving to the new colony to get away from Anti-Coordinator aggression. Various others go with just wanting to try something new and exciting or just to start over.
 * Later in the year a Coordinator named Siegel Clyne is born in the Kingdom of Scandinavia.

<li style="line-height:normal"> Though before the Prometheus could leave once more it is equipped with a new Interplanetary “Cruiser” Type Engine Block Attachment allowing it cut is travel time in half thanks to recent developments in engine technology. However this attachment would have to be removed before it could maneuver safely in the Earth Sphere, therefore Orion Colony starts construction of a special dock for this purpose. Both the Earth and Mar Spheres follow suit and start construction of similar docks. </li>

<li style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; background:lime;mso-shading:lime;mso-pattern:solid lime">The Prometheus arrives at Orion Colony and goes through several tests with it the new Engine Attachment, before leaving for Mars once more. </li> </li>

<li style="line-height:normal"> Late this year Prometheus returns to the Earth Sphere a Second Time and prepares to make it another journey to the Martian Colonies when surprisingly Blue Cosmos, after being quiet since the Bloody May Attacks, and being resurrected by LOGOS, attacks the ship thanks to information secretly provided to them by LOGOS, that many Coordinator Children and their families where on board the ship. Many bright engineers and scientists where lost with the ship along with their families. </li>

<li style="line-height:normal"> Blue Cosmos Attacks increase around the planet and the Earth Sphere, some in Copernicus, the Orbital Colonies, and many other sites.

Cosmic Era 61 to Cosmic Era 70 "The Road To War"

 *  CE61 –  As the tensions rise between the Sponsor Nations and the PLANTs, other tensions rise between the L4 Colony Custer and their so called overlords the Atlantic Federation. Since the L4 Cluster has a very large population of Coordinators higher then even Orb
 * The L4 Cluster manages to the shock of many around the Earth Sphere kick out the Atlantic Federation Administrators from their colonies and turn to ask the UN to recognize them as their own nation. After much deliberation and evidence showing the Federations abuse of the Cluster’s population the UN recognizes the L4 Cluster as a separate sovereign nation. The Republic of Altair is born out of this
 *  CE62 –  The L4 Crisis.  Months later the Atlantic Federation is not going to take this lying down and plan to forcefully take the Cluster back. Thanks the UN leery to jump into a shooting war, it looks the newborn country is going to fall. However the FSF Fleet dispatch to forcefully take the Cluster back is intercepted by a small Orb Fleet much to the shock of the Earth Sphere. The Emirate of Orb saves the new Republic of Altair much to the Republics shock and gratitude. Though even then the Orb Fleet and the FSF Fleet while not firing at each other only can stare at one another waiting for the other to make the first move. This goes on for another month before finally the UN gets involves and a UN led Fleet of Eurasian ships and others from other countries arrive. Faced with superior numbers the FSF Fleet backs off without firing a shot.
 * <span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">     CE63 –  Not wanting to be in the same spot the Republic was in during the L4 Crisis, the Republic of Altair starts building up a Space Force. They convert two of their colonies into industrial colonies to start producing their own hardware. But that will take a while, tell then they start buying military hardware from Sphinx and other companies. Pretty soon they have a force made out of brand new SMA-02 Draco Mobile Armors and Nike Class Cruisers from Sphinx. Not to mention Atlas Class Battleships on loan from the Eurasian Federation. The Republican Self-Defense Force is born out of this.
 * Later this year Kira Yamato and his mother move to Copernicus on the moon to further his education.
 * Also during this year has Patrick Zala and Siegel Clyne sending their children to Copernicus City after a Blue Cosmos attack nearly kills them.
 * There Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Lacus Clyne, and Fiona Alexander meet for the first time.
 *  CE64 –  Seeing the example of the Republic of Altair, the people of the PLANTs calls for autonomy grows ever louder. Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala become leaders of Supreme Council Faction which seeks independence from the sponsor nations. Research into the military applications of the new larger version of the older exo-frames, codenamed mobile suits, begins.
 * <span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">     CE65  – The first prototype mobile suits are secretly rolled out. The Zodiac Alliance steps up its activities and attracts more sympathizers, changing its name to the Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty (ZAFT).
 * Meanwhile one of the prototype mobile suits and the majority of the PLANTs research data fall into the hands of Altair’s Republican Self-Defense Forces
 *  CE66  – Thanks to already being independent and much of the Earth Sphere focus on the PLANTS, Altair manages to start rolling out the first fully functional military use mobile suit, the AMD-02 Guardian. Thanks to Altair having a large population of coordinators they can field many of these new war machines. The ASDF starts research into a new ship design able to carry and support these new weapons of war.
 *  CE67 –  Back at the PLANTS, they start rolling out the second fully functional military use mobile suit, the ZGMF-1017 GINN. A section of Maius City is secretly converted and begins production of mobile suits. While a section of Martius City is converted to start building warships
 * Meanwhile the ASDF at Altair starts production of the Albatross Class Mobile Cruiser. These ships backed up by their tried and proven Nike Class Cruisers give the ASDF a very good fleet to defend their homeland.
 * William Jacques-Sheppard, eldest son of Charles Jacques enters the military after graduating from college, soon after he is asked to help in the testing of the new prototype Mobile Armor the Moebius Zero
 * Complete Contact is cut off with the various Extra-Earth Sphere Colonies (called Frontier Colonies by their residents)
 * The Last UCS Mission (UCS-098) is launched from Barnacle Station to Orion Colony, which officialy cuts off the Frontier Colonies from the Earth Sphere.
 *  CE68 –  Siegel Clyne is elected Chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council. The Supreme Council now dominated by ZAFT members, votes to make autonomy and trading independence its highest priorities.
 * The sponsor nations respond with a show of armed force, but the PLANTS carry out a military expansion of their own, and a standoff ensues.
 * Earth Blue Cosmos grows in strength, and its ranks expand to the hundreds of thousands, and persecution of Coordinators still living on Earth intensifies. As a result the rest of the Earth bound Coordinators emigrate to the Orb Union, Republic of Altair, or the PLANTS.
 * Chairman Clyne makes secret arrangements to exchange imports of food and exports of manufactured goods with the United States of South America, Oceania Union, and the Republic of Altair. Learning of these arrangements, the sponsor nations demand the dismissal of Chairman Clyne, the dissolution of the PLANT Supreme Council, and the complete renunciation of autonomy for the PLANTs. These demands are rejected by the PLANTs. In response the Atlantic Federation the more aggressive of the sponsor nations launches attacks on several convoys transporting food to the PLANTS. One of these convoys is the Mandelbrot Convoy from the USSA, and is completely destroyed. This is later called the Mandelbrot Incident and leads to ZAFT being reorganized under Patrick Zala’s leadership, and combined with the PLANTs' domestic security operations to become a military organization equipped with Mobile Suits and military frigates that act as carriers for the mentioned mobile suits.
 * The First Laurasia Class Frigates (Flight I) are rolled out of the Martius Shipyards located in the Martius City Docks.
 * Patrick Zala is given the title of Marshall of all ZAFT military forces.
 * Meanwhile, other food convoys make it through thanks to the protection of the ASDF on the Altair Convoys, and marks the first use of military mobile suits against mobile armors.
 * All this leads to Marshall Zala to recall his son back from Copernicus, while Chairman Clyne lets Lacus stay for a few more months before she is too recalled.
 * CE69 – Chairman Clyne orders PLANTS seven through ten of Junius City remodeled for agricultural production. With the help provided by the Republic of Altair and the UN, the engineers of the PLANTS managed to convert these PLANTS into farm colonies.
 * The sponsor nations, determined to prevent the PLANTs from producing their own food, begin intimidation maneuvers.
 * At this point ZAFT and its mobile suit forces make their combat debut, overwhelming Earth’s mobile armor forces and driving the sponsor nations out of the PLANT airspace.
 * Thanks to this disaster and the minor battles between Altairan Mobile Suits, Captain Lewis Halberton of the Atlantic Federation’s 4th Orbital Fleet recognizes the mobile suit's effectiveness in space combat, and proposes the development of the “G-Project” Halberton's proposal is rejected by his superiors, but some of them provide assistance so that the project can proceed in secrecy.
 * Chairman Clyne issues demands for complete autonomy and trade equality to the sponsor nations. The PLANTs promise to halt resource exports to Earth should no response arrive by January 1 of the following year.
 * Also during this year, Kira Yamato and Fiona Alexander enroll in the Heliopolis Technical College.
 * While on Earth Captain Charles Jacques wife is killed by Blue Cosmos and he himself is nearly killed as well, but his friend Captain Lewis Halberton saves him. - After this Charles with his teenaged son and newborn twin daughters in tow head for his birthplace of Leo Colony in the Republic of Altair.
 * Captain Halberton managed to let his godson William Sheppard know of the his family exodus to Altair and the newly promoted Lieutenant Sheppard tries to secretly tries but after an accident, Captain Halberton is told of his godson's death.
 * Back at Altair Charles is asked by the Altair government to join the ASDF and help with training it. Wanting to protect his remaining family Charles accepts the position and becomes Rear Admiral Jacques in command of his own small fleet.
 *  January 1, CE70 –  As they meet with representatives of the sponsor nations, members of the PLANT Supreme Council members are targeted by a terror attack and one council member is slain. Blue Cosmos claims responsibility, but when it becomes clear that the sponsor nations were behind the attack, the PLANTs, halt all resource exports. The sponsor nations, which have become dependent on the PLANTs for all such production, are rendered destitute.
 *  January 15, CE70 –  Due to expanding forces of ZAFT, the PLANTs start construction of the newly designed Julius Space Docks a series of docks to take the pressure off the Martius Shipyards.
 *  February 5, CE70 –  The Tragedy of Copernicus  . At the urging of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, negotiations take place at the lunar city Copernicus.
