Spacenoid is term from the Universal Century, and Regild Century timelines [1]. It is used to describe human beings living in space, mainly on space colonies. It is an antonym for Earthnoid, which refers to people living on Earth, and is often used to describe political and military conflicts between the two [citation needed].

Overview[]

These are people who were forced to immigrate to space as part of the space immigration policy (effectively an abandonment policy) implemented by the Earth's federation government. Moon dwellers are sometimes classified as "Lunarians" and Jupiter dwellers as "Jupiterians" [citation needed].

History[]

In the early days of space immigration, priority was given to engineers and scientists who were involved in the development of the space colonies, or administrators and high-ranking bureaucrats with a high level of expertise, in order to maintain the space colonies, but later, even those without expertise were forced to immigrate. Those who remained on Earth, on the other hand, were limited to those with privileged connections to the federation government. The Spacenoids harbored a latent rebellion against those who lived in the stable environment of Earth, and the Earthnoids also imposed oppressive policies on the Spacenoids, such as taxing gravity and air, which formed the basis for the conflicts that began with the One Year War [citation needed].

The suppression of the Federation led to the rise of a number of forces that advocated the independence of space immigrants, starting with the Principality of Zeon. However, as the Federation was hollowed out and the independence of the Spacenoids was recognized in a hazy state, the center of anti-Federation thought was eventually replaced by Cosmo Aristocracy and Marianism [citation needed].

The Spacenoids living in space colonies, which can be said to be a mass of advanced science and machine technology, are obliged to acquire advanced scientific and mechanical knowledge for the purpose of "maintaining the colonies", and some of the upper class people can operate military mobile suits even as civilians, and even the lowest class people can pilot Petite Mobile Suits, and operate computers as a matter of course. On the other hand, Melanie Hue Carbine, in a later interview with reporter Kai Shiden, expressed the view that the Spacenoids, who are inevitably technocrats, are a kind of elite, different from Gihren Zabi's delusion [citation needed].

However, because they live in a highly electrified environment, they are unfamiliar with the global environment, and sometimes misidentify lightning, a natural phenomenon, as a military weapon, or show discomfort and surprise at insects and wild animals. Also, with each generation in space, the number of people who do not recognize Earth as their home increases, and the number of people who perceive the smell of Earth's plants and oceans as a strange odor and the Earth's atmosphere as dusty increases [citation needed].

In Regild Century age the continues conflicts of the Universal Century has drained natural resources of the Earth and destroying the majority of the space colonies, the descent of Spacenoid lives now in Towasanga in the Moon or the Venus Glove.

Comparing to the Universal Century the spacenoid and the Earthnoid are in a more equally position, the lack resources of the Earth has force to the Earthnoid to depends of Photon battery only finded in the space, this situation has make more prosperous the people in the space but thats no means has better life at the people in the space, overpopulation, social segregation and othe social problems are commons in the Spacenoids of the Reguild Century, that's why various Spacenoid factions are united forces for a massive attack to the Earth, a "Reconguista" like the called to reclaim the Earth of the Earthnoid.

AW Timeline[]

The situation between the Earth and the space is very similar in the After War timeline to the Universal Century with active hostilities between each other.

The spacenoid in the AW are represented by Space Revolutionary Army, a organization founded in the Cloud 9 who fight with the United Nations Earth for the rights of the Spacenoid, when the show starts the 7th Space War its currents in his final stages and end in a massive colony drop in Earth causing the deceased of 90% of the human population and sending the Earth to a several nuclear winter for years.

Under the rules of the Space Revolutionary Army the colonies are subjected to a oppressing theological government who follows the teachings of the Newtypeism who proclaims all the Spacenoids are destined to become Newtypes.

The continuing oppression by Space Revolutionary Army lead to the formation of a revel organization against them, the Satyricon formed by refugees whose home colonies were occupied and destroyed by the former Space Revolutionary Army during the 7th Space War.

Finally the end of the 8th Space War lead to a new age of peace between the Earth and Space products of the death of the principals leaders of The New UNE and the Space Revolutionary Army simultaneously.
