Anno Domini

The Anno Domini Era is the current timeline used in the real world and also used by anime television series Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and its spinoff projects. The term Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D) is the designation used to number years after the birth of Christ in the Gregorian calendar. Gundam 00 is running within the same era as we are currently residing in, around 300 years into the future from today.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the first series to be split into two separate chapters.

 * Aeolia Schenberg is born.


 * 2090


 * At the age of 39, Aeolia Schenberg comes out with a solution to solve the Global Fuel Crisis: a theoretical basis for the combined Orbital Elevator and photovoltaic energy system. As the level of technology available at the time of publication is not advanced enough to realize the project, his theory receives little public attention.


 * While working on the concept of orbital space elevator, Aeolia also works on the development of humanoid machines. It is before the actual production of mobile suits, so historically, he can be viewed as its inventor.


 * 2101


 * Aeolia Schenberg dedicates his life to the advancement of space colonization. He later disappears from public view. It is speculated that he had settled on another planet and died there, though it is never confirmed.

 * 2307


 * The AEU demonstrates their new mobile suit AEU-09 AEU Enact at the AEU Orbital Elevator in Africa. Celestial Being performs their first armed interventions; Gundam Exia cuts down the Enact in front of many AEU delegates and spectators. Celestial Being continues operations by exposing large numbers of AEU mobile suits in the Orbital Elevator and foiling a terrorist attack at the HRL's orbital station Heaven's Pillar. Celestial Being announces its existence to the world.


 * Celestial Being's branch group, Fereshte, is formed to support the Ptolemy team from the shadows. The group is led by Chall Acustica, and uses the upgraded Second Generation Gundams, powered by the fifth GN Drive, during their armed interventions. Fon Spaak becomes their Gundam Meister.


 * Celestial Being lauches an armed intervention against ethnic conflict in Ceylon. Their actions did not end the conflict there; however, their action of overwhelming both sides in the conflict shows how serious they are in their goal of ending war through armed conflict.


 * The Union forms the Anti-Gundam Investigation Unit (later renamed as the Overflags). Its task is to investigate the nature of the Gundams and, if possible, capture one. Billy Katagiri and Graham Aker are transferred from MSWAD to the newly formed unit. Graham is promoted to the position of Captain of its mobile suit squad. Professor Ralph Eifman becomes the unit's chief engineer. They were later joined by Warrant Officer Howard Mason and Master Sergeant Daryl Dodge.


 * The HRL denounces Celestial Being's actions in the media and promised to do all it can to destroy the paramilitary group. The other two superpowers (the AEU and the Union) also condemn Celestial Being. However, they only promise to take action against the group if Celestial Being takes part in a conflict within one of their member states.


 * The HRL forms its own special task force against the Gundams, lead by Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Smirnov. The unit is later renamed as the Chobu (Curse) team. Second Lieutenant Soma Peries from the Super Human Research Institute is transferred to the unit to act as its ace against the Gundams.


 * Tarabia announces its succession from the Union. Celestial Being attacks Tarabia's military for trying to incite war against the Union. Devastated by the outcome, Tarabia reverses its decision and rejoins the Union.


 * The AEU and the Republic of Moralia launch a large military exercise to lure the Gundams, hoping to overwhelm the Gundams with their sheer numbers and capture them. The Gundams intervened during the exercise and destroyed Moralia's military within 5 hours. The exercise was a disaster, but the event made Moralia much closer to the AEU, as both start to work together to further develop their arms development.


 * La Eden starts a worldwide bombing campaign in response to Celestial Being's actions. Celestial Being attacks La Eden's bases world wide, inflicting huge damage to the terrorist group.


 * The HRL's Chobu team launches an attack against the Ptolemy in order to capture the Gundams. Their extensive operation ends in a failure and over 20 Tierens are destroyed.


 * 2308


 * Celestial Being launches an attack on the HRL's Super Human Research Institute and destroys the facility. The attack, together with the leaking of information about the facility to the public, creates a large PR scandal for the HRL. They are forced to close the facility and arrest those who were involved in the Super Soldier project.


 * The Middle Eastern country Azadistan receives aid from the UN to build their own solar energy generation facility. The event incites conflict between the conservatives and the reformists. The situation grows into a civil war after conservative leader Rasa Massoud Rachmadi is abducted by an unknown group. The Union launches an operation in the country to end it's civil strife. Celestial Being also intervenes in the conflict; and later rescues Rasa from the mercenaries who abducted him. Rasa's return to Azadistan momentarily ends the civil war in the country.


 * The AEU, the HRL and the Union agree to perform a joint military exercise within the HRL region around the Taklamakan Desert, with the main goal of capturing Celestial Being's Gundams. They reveal the existance of a uranium storage facility to a terrorist group in the region, so that the Gundams will intervene. The Gundams do intervene and after being bombarded for over 16 hours, are overwhelmed by the superpowers' overwhelming numbers. As each superpower is about to claim a Gundam, Team Trinity, with their Gundam Thrones, came to the rescue. Due to their arrival and a mass communications blackout caused by Team Trinity, the operation halts and is later declared as a failure.


 * Celestial Being observers hold an emergency meeting to discuss about the newly arrived Gundams. With the meeting, they decide to acknowledge Team Trinity as part of Celestial Being.


 * Team Trinity begins their armed interventions and starts by destroying the Union's MSWAD base, where Ralph Eifman was investigating the nature of the GN Drives and the true objective of Aeolia's plan. Team Trinity mostly targets military bases and arms factories during their operations. Among other bases they attack are the AEU's Northeastern Italy Base and the Union's Iris Corporation's factory. The soaring civilian death tolls during these armed interventions soured the public's opinion about Celestial Being.


 * Team Trinity tries to disband Fereshte and attempts to forcibly take their GN Drive. Fon Spaak intervenes and fights against them. Team Trinity eventually gives up on acquiring the GN Drive when Fon escapes with the GN Drive.


 * Attack in Spain. Nena Trinity in her GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei indiscriminately attacks a civilian wedding gathering in Spain. Among the victims of the attack is Louise Halevy, who is the only member of her family to survive the attack.

 * Laguna Harvey is killed in his office by Ali Al-Saachez.


 * Ali Al-Saachez kills Michael and Johann Trinity and steals the GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei. With Nena Trinity being the only sole survivor, Team Trinity is effectlvely disbanded.


 * Alejandro Corner takes control of Veda, thanks to Ribbons Almark, and discovers the frozen body of Aeolia Schenberg. He kills Aeolia, but this triggers Aeolia's system trap, which activates the Trans-Am System on the 5 GN-Drives. The system trap also makes the Gundam Meisters' (and their crew's) files in Veda non-existent.


 * After Team Trinity's defeat, the UN focuses their sights on the Ptolemy group. With the newly acquired Gundam Throne Zwei, 26 GN-X attack the Gundams. However, due to Trans Am and other new equipment that the Gundams acquired, 15 of the GN-Xs are destroyed. Two of three Virginia-Class Carriers are also sunk. The UN considers the possibility of retreat.


 * Lockon Stratos dies at the hands of Ali Al-Saachez. Before dying, he manages to destroy Ali's Gundam Throne Zwei. Ali sustains tremendous injuries and barely survives.


 * The UN sends in the new mobile armour GNMA-XCVII Alvatore to reinforce their remaining GN-Xs in a last great attempt to destroy Celestial Being. The UN loses almost all of their GN-Xs in battle, together with the mobile armour. However, the operation succeeds in shooting down the Gundams' mothership, CBS-70 Ptolemaios. They also confirmed the defeat of the remaining Gundams. With the defeat of the Gundams, they declared victory in the Battle of Lagrange 1.


 * Aside from losing Ptolemy and the Gundams, Celestial Being also lost most of their primary team members. Joyce B. Moreno, Christina Sierra, and Lichtendahl Tsery were all killed during combat. Setsuna F. Seiei and Exia are missing in action. Allelujah Haptism and Kyrios were captured by the UN Forces. With the tremendous losses on their side, Celestial Being goes into hiding to rebuild. Their chief tactician, Sumeragi Lee Noriega, leaves Celestial Being as the losses were too much for her to bear.


 * Fereshte sucessfully recovers Kyrios' GN Drive. With Celestial Being gone, Fon Spaak wanders around the world with his GNY-001F2 Gundam Astraea Type F2, searching for battles.

It is an elite force under the direct order of the Federation government. Homer Katagiri is assigned by the government to lead the secret task force.


 * A-Laws commits at least fourteen massacres in the name of a "unified" world and is kept secret from the general public by Veda.


 * A-Laws launch an operation to eliminate all suspected rebels and dissidents using their automatons at the construction colony of Proud. A group of Katharon members, an Anti-Federation group, tries to rescue their comrades at Proud, only to be intercepted and destroyed by an A-Laws squadron. During the A-Laws' operation, Setsuna F. Seiei, while investigating A-Laws, rescues Saji Crossroad, a civilian detained at Proud under false accusations of being a Katharon member. Setsuna also destroys the automatons in the colony and fights against A-Laws in a half-repaired Exia. Tieria Erde, in the GN-008 Seravee Gundam, launches to rescue and retrieve Setsuna and Exia.


 * After the incident at Proud, the Earth Sphere Federation announces the return of Celestial Being and the Gundams to the public. They issue transfer notices to all soldiers who are experienced in facing the Gundams into the A-Laws.

Aside from Alellujah, Celestial Being also rescues Marina Ismail, who was also detained at the complex. Katharon also takes advantage of the ongoing chaos to rescue their comrades in the same prison complex. Celestial Being's GN-007 Arios Gundam is first operated in combat.


 * Major Aber Rindt is assigned to work together with Kati Mannequin by the A-Laws to pursue Celestial Being on their way to the Middle East.


 * Ribbons Almark sends Ali Al-Saachez to destroy the Kingdom of Azadistan. Ribbons takes advantage of the looming threat of the Gundams to make way for the Earth Sphere Federation Government to occupy the destroyed nation.


 * The location of Katharon's Middle East base is leaked to the A-Laws' authorities. They immediately launch an operation to destroy the base and sweep the area with automaton droids, killing guerrillas and civilians alike.


 * The A-Laws tries to launch another attack on the Katharon base to eliminate possible survivors from the previous attack. Celestial Being intercepts them and successfully keeps the A-Laws from pursuing the survivors.


 * The Federation Banquet occurs. The Federation holds a party for their top officials and financiers. Members of Celestial Being are reported to have come to the party; not one of them are caught by the authorities. Their intentions are not fully known.


 * The A-Laws launches an operation to trap and destroy Celestial Being underwater in the Middle East. Celestial Being's CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 uses the attack to launch into space, escaping the A-Laws' net.


 * Celestial Being heads to their asteroid base in Lagrange 3 for resupply and upgrades. The newly constructed support unit GNR-010 0 Raiser is tested with the GN-0000 00 Gundam. The GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser surpasses all theoretical expectations during the testing.


 * The A-Laws' Memento Mori destroys the Suille Kingdom's capital.


 * The A-Laws launches a preemptive attack against Celestial Being in Lagrange 3. The A-Laws fails to destroy the paramilitary organization once again and is forced to retreat. GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser single-handedly turns the battle to Celestial Being's favour, destroying most of A-Laws' mobile suits.


 * Katharon launches an attack on the Memento Mori. Surprised by a Memento Mori attack, Katharon loses much of its fleet. Celestial Being joins the operation and ultimately destroys the Memento Mori.

 * Ribbons Almark meets with Setsuna F. Seiei in the former Republic of Krugis. He urges the Gundam Meister to surrender the GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser, but Setsuna refuses to comply with his demands.


 * The A-Laws' launches another attack on Ptolemy. The A-Laws successfully breaks through the Gundams' defense line, and is about to destroy Ptolemy when a retreat order was given from the higher ups because of a rebellion at the Africa Tower.


 * The Break Pillar Incident occurs. A coup d'état is led by Pang Hercules at the African Orbital Elevator. A-Laws massacres rebels and civilian hostages alike, but the information is manipulated and the general population doesn't find out. A reconstructed Memento Mori is shot at the African Orbital Elevator, but misses due to the intervention of Setsuna F. Seiei and the 00 Raiser. Part of the Orbital Elevator is still hit, and its outer shell falls to Earth. Major casualties are avoided due to the combined efforts of Celestial Being, A-Laws, Katharon, and the Federation Army.


 * The second Memento Mori is destroyed by Celestial Being.


 * Setsuna F. Seiei starts awakening as the first True Innovator.
