Jupiter Empire

The Jupiter Empire was a self-proclaimed empire created at the planet Jupiter some time after UC 0120.

History
The empire was founded and led by Crux Dogatie, who was one of the first colonists at Jupiter. Their forces secretly built up power and over time created an impressive force of mobile suits and mobile armors. Their machinations however were discovered by Cecily Fairchild, who took her old name Berah Ronah to recreate the Crossbone Vanguard and gather supporters. This Crossbone Vanguard however operated as pirates and began to attack the Jupiter Empire over time. In UC 0133 the Empire began to make its move to conquer Earth and was able to send the massive Jupitris 9 to Earth, where they appeared as a peace delegation. Thanks to their machinations, they caused the Earth Federation Forces to attack the CV, leading to their near destruction. Following this, the Jupiter Empire gave up its cover and openly attacked the Earth Federation, who was quickly overwhelmed by this surprise attack. The battle however changed in favor for the Federation, when the Crossbone Vanguard as well as the colonial forces, who, up until now, didn't make their move, attacked the Empire. Eventually the Empire's forces were defeated and Dogatie himself killed.

Despite this fact, the Crossbone Vanguard remainded intact and secretly worked under the name "Blackrow Shippings" to crush the remains of the Jupiter Empire. Several years after the war, the remaining factions of the Empire tried to once again attack Earth, this time with a Colony Laser.
