Operation Meteor

Overview
Operation Meteor was the name given to the plot conceived by rebellious members of the colonies as a form of retaliation for the assassination of the political leader Heero Yuy. Operation Meteor was the brainchild of Dekim Barton. The original plan called for the dropping of a colony onto the planet Earth. Barton had intended to drop the L3 colony X-18999 in or soon after the year After Colony 195. After the colony had been dropped, the Gundams would be sent to Earth to take control. The Gundams were to be tools for a massacre. Once the planet had fallen to the Gundams, the Barton family was to assume full control of the Earth Sphere with Dekim as the leader and his son Trowa Barton would be his heir.

In the year AC 195, five children were sent to Earth on the five Gundams. The five scientists told the children to disregard the orders sent by the Barton Foundation and to only target OZ instillations rather than civilians. The five Gundams were disguised as shooting stars. Once the Gundams reached Earth they began to attack and destroy OZ military bases and mobile suit factories as well as OZ and Alliance spaceports. Throughout AC 195, no colony had been on Earth, but Dekim would try again later.

Endless Waltz
Near the end of the year AC 195, Dekim Barton would return to try and complete the goal he had set after the death of Heero Yuy. As the X-18999 colony neared completion, Dekim revealed to the people of Earth the leader he had set up for the coming ages. Mariemaia Kushrenada, the daughter of Treize Kushrenada, made a speech to the Earth Sphere declaring the independence of X-18999 while simultaneously declaring war on the Earth Sphere Unified Nation. From MO-III, Dekim told the newly resurfaced Zechs Marquise of his intentions of dropping X-18999.

With the help of Heero and Duo, Trowa was able to restore the colonies stable orbit and prevented the colony from plunging to Earth. Ultimately, Operation Meteor was foiled by the very pilots that were meant to restore order to the chaos created by the destruction caused by X-18999.
