|---|---|---|
| Episode | Date | Events |
| AC 001 | After Colony (A.C.) calendar established Development of space colonies begins. Conflicts on Earth are still widespread. | |
| AC 020 | Construction of space colonies begins at Lagrance point 1 (L1), based on the results of research conducted at permanent space stations. Earth's nations fund colony construction to promote national prestige. The number of colony workers quickly increases due to dissatisfaction with the fighting on Earth. Construction is severely delayed due to newly discovered diseases and harsh conditions. | |
| AC 040~ | The conflicts on Earth spread to space. Acts of sabotage frequently occur between warring nations' colonies. The friction intensifies, and many incomplete colonies are destroyed. | |
| AC 050~ | The companies constructing the colonies reevaluate their plans, and many development projects are discontinued or postponed. International conflicts cause a decrease in funding for the project; the colonization project itself begins to be reevaluated, and its popularity wanes. The nations of the Middle East join the colony construction effort. With the oil industry exhausted, the Middle East turns to space colony development, and continues the construction. Colony construction begins at other Lagrance points. | |
| AC 070~ | The limited supply of construction materials becomes a source of friction between the colonies. Resource supplies from Earth dwindle; nations and colonies plunder resources from each other. The Middle East takes a leadership role in mediating the conflict. Special envoys are dispatched to each colony. Use of asteroids as supply and resource satellites begins. Thanks to this new resource supply system, a confrontation between colonies is avoided, and colony development continues. | |
| AC 102~ | The first space colony is completed at L1. The colony construction rsuh begins. A Space Colony Orbital Community Cluster (or 'Colony Cluster') is formed. Conflicts on Earth intensify. The pace of emigration to space suddenly increases. The space colonists soon number 15% of the human population. | |
| AC 130 | The rate of emigration to space continues to increase, causing a degeneration of Earth's nations. | |
| AC 133 | The 'United Earth Sphere Alliance' is established. To help avoid conflict, a collective security organization is created, run under a council system. The 'United Earth Sphere Allied Forces' are created for peace keeping purposes. The Alliance brings uncooperative nations under control with overwhelming military power, and takes an active role in stamping out conflict. The Long clan is forced to emigrate to colony A0206. | |
| AC 139 | A system for colonial self-government is established. The colonies are wary of Alliance rule. The Alliance sees this as opposition and plans a military buildup. | |
| AC 140 | The colonies are ordered to join the Alliance The colonies renounce their right to self-government. A number of pro-independance activists take their activities underground. | |
| AC 145 | Delegations from Earth are reported missing at L1. Illegal independance movements intensify. | |
| AC 147 | Alliance forces are stationed at each colony. The Alliance places proxies in each nation, and begins military domination of Earth. | |
| AC 149 | The Alliance general assembly decides to transfer control of the colonies to their mother countries. As the colonies' economies improve, investment and emigration increase. There is a period of tentative peace and stability. | |
| AC 150 | The Colony Issues Council is established. Amid increasing opposition to the Alliance, colony administrators establish an Issues Mediation Council. Chapters are established in several colonies. | |
| AC 165 | The Colony Issues Council elects Heero Yuy as its representative. The Council establishes chapters in each colony. Heero Yuy essentially becomes the leader of the colonies. Heero Yuy advocates the principles of non-violence and demilitarization. | |
| AC 170 | Heero Yuy's ideology gains supporters in the colonies and in some of Earth's nations. | |
| AC 173 | The 'Declaration of Colony Demilitarization' is announced at L1, with a decision to formally adopt it two years later. Under Heero Yuy's leadership, the colonies declare themselves demilitarized and autonomous. The Romefeller Foundation begins mobile suit development. The Romefeller Foundation, the financial manager of the United Earth Sphere Alliance, is annoyed at the colonies's independance movement and begins to prepare for military occupation. | |
| AC 174 | Heero Yuy makes a tour of Earth's nations. Beginning with the nations of Asia --the mother countries of L1-- he concentrates on those that sympathize with his pacifist ideology. More countries begin to support the 'Declaration of Colony Demilitarization', and he coordinates efforts for independance | AC 175 | Heero Yuy is assassinated The adoption of the 'Declaration of Colony Demilitarization' is permanently halted. The colonies lose their unity and are thrown into chaos. A few scientists flee from the Alliance mobile suit development team. The development plan is changed to focus on mass production mobile suits, and the Leo is produced. The secret military organization 'OZ' is established. |
| AC 176 | The Alliance despatches its first mobile suit corps, the 'Specials', to the colonies. The mobile suit corps place the colonies under military control. Communications between colonies is disrupted, and colony solidarity is hindered. | |
