We will be continuing through the Universal Century to the events of 0083: Stardust Memory and beyond. Expect things to be fairly quiet around here until September, with sporadic updates in the interim.

Until then, Happy New Year!

May, UC 0082

As the Earth Sphere continues to recover from the One Year War, the Colony Public Corporation launches their Colony Reclamation Plan, relocating damaged space colonies for extensive repairs with the ultimate goal of rehousing wartime refugees from the Sides and Earth.

Because much of their industrial infrastructure has remained intact, Side 3 is placed in charge of these repairs, starting with colonies from Side 4.

The Earth Federation Forces secretly establish additional Newtype research institutes to expand on work begun at Augusta Base during the One Year War. These facilities include the Murasame Lab in Japan and the Oakland Lab in North America, among others.

15 months after their departure from the Earth Sphere, evacuees from the former Principality reach the asteroid belt and the mining base Axis.

The influx of new arrivals from Zeon causes the population of the base to swell to 30,000 – including civilians, military personnel, mobile suit engineers, and the infant Mineva Lao Zabi, the only living heir to the toppled regime.

March, UC 0080

The former Principality's Delaz Fleet relocates to the massive shoal zone created by the ruins of Side 5, where the high concentration of wreckage will shield them from detection by the EFSF.

Aiguille Delaz begins consolidating military assets, promoting himself to lieutenant general and beginning construction of The Garden of Thorns, the base of operations for his remnant forces.

In the wake of the One Year War, the Earth Federation and Side 6 governments sign a security treaty: the Riah Republic remains provisionally autonomous, but is now under the military protection of the EFSF.

January 2, UC 0080

As mop-up operations continue across the globe, Federation Forces in Australia seize Hughenden Base, the last Zeon stronghold on the continent. News of the war's end reaches combatants on both sides shortly after the climax of the battle.

At Granada, the Republic of Zeon ratifies an armistice with the Earth Federation government, bringing an end to the One Year War.

December 31, UC 0079

Without the Zabi Family, Side 3 is thrown into chaos. The Principality of Zeon Assembly is hastily reorganized into the Republic of Zeon.

Using the neutral Side 6 as an intermediary, the Republic of Zeon offers to sign a peace treaty with the Earth Federation government. The EFSF send the SCVA-72 Thoroughbred to escort Zeon's Prime Minister Darcia Bakharo to the peace talks.

Wandering through the inside of A Baoa Qu, Amuro returns to the Gundam's wreckage. Using his Newtype awareness, he is able to reach out to the minds of the scattered White Base crew, reuniting them with one another and guiding them to safety.

Amuro ejects in the Gundam's Core Fighter, returning to his friends, who have escaped the war's final battle.

The remaining Zeon forces in N Field begin evacuating through E Field, which is defended by the 603rd Technical Evaluation Unit and the MA-05Ad Big Rang. The mobile armour is destroyed, but its pilot, Oliver May, escapes with his life.

A fire breaks out in A Baoa Qu's missile factory, located in the heart of the asteroid. The fire spreads to the core of the base's electrical grid, knocking out power to the entire fortress.

December 31, UC 0079 – 12:05 PM

Char Aznable assassinates Kycilia Zabi, firing a bazooka into the bridge of her Zanzibar as she attempts to flee A Baoa Qu, hitting the rear admiral directly. With this, Char's revenge for the death of his father, Zeon Deikun, is complete.

December 31, UC 0079

In the depths of A Baoa Qu, Amuro and Char engage in hand-to-hand combat, having destroyed each other's mobile suits.

Sayla manages to find them and breaks up their duel, reminding Char that the Zabis are his true enemy and that he does not have to fight Amuro. An explosion inside the fortress separates Amuro from the siblings.

December 31, UC 0079

Amuro and Char have severely damaged each other's mobile suits.

Char ejects in the Zeong's head-mounted cockpit, and lures the Gundam inside A Baoa Qu. Thanks to months of combat data acquired by the Gundam's learning computer, Amuro is able to set the Gundam to autopilot, ditching the mobile suit to lie in wait.

Gundam and Zeong fire at one another almost simultaneously, and both machines are destroyed, but Char escapes yet again.

Elsewhere, White Base crash lands inside the fortress. Her crew prepare for close combat with Zeon forces, which begin swarming the wrecked vessel.

Word of Supreme Commander Gihren Zabi's death reaches Colonel Aiguille Delaz. Staunchly loyal to Gihren, Delaz assumes that the supreme commander was assassinated in a power grab by Kycilia.

Colonel Delaz withdraws his entire unit from A Baoa Qu, costing Zeon's already weakening defence vital manpower.

In S Field, the EFSF's Sixth Fleet sink the Dolowa, destroying her engines. Using the Dolowa's damaged but intact hull as cover, Federation mobile suits begin landing on A Baoa Qu.

Shortly after, Federation forces break through N Field's defences, landing mobile suits on that side of the fortress as well.
