New York (ニューヨーク Nyū Yōku?) is a major city along the eastern seaboard of North America.
Universal Century[]
During the One Year War, New York was a target for the Principality of Zeon's Earth Attack Force. Although the site of a major battle, the city was quickly overrun by the 3rd Terrestrial Mobile Division and fell into Zeon hands on March 11, UC. 0079. Much of the downtown areas of the city fell into ruin as result of the battle. After Zeon forces had captured most of North America, New York became the headquarters for Garma Zabi's North American forces.
During this period of occupation the city's Mayor Eschonbach was allowed to stay in power. Although Eschonbach hated the Zeon he decided to stay behind to watch over New York's remaining citizens. After the death of Garma Zabi, Zeon Command in New York was left in disarray. The city was liberated by Earth Federation Forces during the mop-up operations in North America in the last month of the war.
Future Century[]
New York was the location of the first meeting and match between Domon Kasshu of Neo Japan and Chibodee Crocket of Neo America during the 13th Gundam Fight.
Notes & Trivia[]
- It is the Gundam world equivalent to New York City of the contemporary real world.
- In Japanese, New York is often written and pronounced as ニューヤーク (Nyū Yāku?). Thus, the Universal Century name is sometimes transliterated as "New Yark".
