Correct Century

Characters, technology, and setting of the "Correct Century" timeline, where ∀ Gundam takes place.

The Correct Century (コレクト・センチュリー, Korekuto Senchurī^?) (aka Seireki (正暦, Seireki^?)) is the fictional timeline of the anime television series ∀ Gundam and its related projects. "Seireki" is a wordplay on the Japanese term for the Common Era (C.E.) Western calendar system, 西暦, which is also pronounced as "Seireki".

Overview

The Correct Century (C.C.) is set in the far future following a long period known as the Dark History. By the beginning of the Correct Century, advanced technology on Earth has regressed, leaving the planet's level of civilization comparable to that of the early 1900s.

In stark contrast to the comparatively backward state of Earth’s inhabitants stands the near-utopian society of the Moonrace, a futuristic society which has changed the barren landscape of the moon into a highly controlled and technologically sustained living environment. The Moonrace is the only group to retain the capability to operate mobile suits; on Earth, such machines exist solely as relics of the distant past, recovered through archaeological excavations, including the MS-06 Borjarnon and the titular System-∀99 ∀ Gundam.

The Correct Century hints several times that its past draws upon events from every previous Gundam series. However, detailed knowledge of the Dark History survives only in preserved lunar archives, where the Moonrace retains accurate information, including visual documentation of pivotal conflicts from earlier eras. An attempt by Gym Ghingham to recreate the Dark History becomes a central focus of ∀ Gundam’s plot as it approaches its climax.

Thereafter, humanity on Earth experiences a significant regression in its level of civilization.
