Galactic Colonization

The  (GC for short) Era was the fictional timeline used by the anime television series Mobile Suit Gundam Galactic and its subsequent spin off projects. This timeline was noted for its inherent similarities to Gundam SEED and Gundam 00.

Along with Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam SEED, the Galactic Colonization Era Universe was one of several series to include multiple TV series (Two so far), an OVA series special, a theatrical movie and several specials. In terms of development, Galactic was seen as one of the most developed series seen, with Mobile Suit Gundam taking first place.

Galactic Colonization takes place several hundred years after the Anno Domini timeline and one hundred years into the GC Era. Gundam Galactic was noted to be one of the few series to be split into two separate chapters, along with several specials and expansions.
