Towasanga (トワサンガ) is a fictional nation in Gundam Reconguista in G.
Overview[]
Originally established by the remnants of Spacenoids from the Universal Century, Towasanga is a nation comprised of space colonies located on the far side of the moon. Although it had remained hidden from Earth, its existence was only recently disclosed during a conference. Towasanga has a history that stretches back over 2,000 years, originating during the Universal Century. In fact, this region of space once served as the location of Side 3, home of the Principality of Zeon. It owns a number of Universal Century technologies that are considered taboo on Earth [1] [2]
The current ruling body, the Hazm government, is a puppet regime established by the Dorette family following the overthrow of the Rayhunton royal family. Despite this, the policy of "Reconguista"—a movement to return to Earth—strongly reflects the will and desire of Towasanga’s people. The largest colony, Cyrano-5, is home to the main base of the Dorette Fleet. [3]
Terms[]
Dorette Family[]
The Dorette family is a prominent military lineage from Towasanga that rose to power following a coup d’état a decade ago, in which they overthrew the reigning Rayhunton royal family. Since then, the Dorettes have become the ruling force in Towasanga, with Noutu Dorette as the current head of the family. The Dorette regime is committed to executing "Operation Reconguista"—a campaign aimed at returning to Earth and liberating Photon Battery technology from the control of the Hermes Foundation. They have taken it upon themselves to carry out this mission.[3]
Rayhunton Family[]
The Rayhunton family, the former royals of Towasanga, held close ties with the Hermes Foundation and served as stewards of Universal Century-era technology. They opposed both the Reconguista plan and the unregulated release of photon battery technology. Their resistance to the Dorette agenda ultimately led to their downfall in the coup. Their former domain in the South Ring of Cyrano-5—the birthplace of Bellri and Aida—has become the base of a resistance group. Composed of former vassals of the Rayhunton family and loyal citizens, this movement stands in opposition to Operation Reconguista.[3][1]
Towasanga Home Guard[]
The Towasanga Home Guard is a military organization whose purpose is to maintain order and defend the Towasanga homeland. They are not on good terms with the Dorette Army, which is de facto controlling the Towasanga government.[4]
