Gundam: Echoes of the Moonlight
In the Space Century (SC), humans have successfully colonized the entire solar system, with colonies built on moons, asteroids, and orbiting space stations. However, the vast expansion into space has led to tensions between the core Earth colonies and those on outer planets like Mars, Jupiter, and beyond. Each colony struggles with overpopulation, scarcity of resources, and harsh living conditions. Discrimination against outer colonies by those from Earth has created a powder keg of animosity that's on the verge of exploding into interplanetary warfare. The solar system is a divided realm where nationalism, corporate greed, and political control exacerbate tensions. Every colony has its own government, military, and technology, though some rely heavily on Earth's technology, others on their own advancements.
