Time Line

AC 001

Several nations establish permanent space stations in geosynchronous Earth orbit. This is the first year of the After Colony (AC) calendar.

AC 020

The colony A02026 is constructed at Lagrange point 5. This colony will later become the home of the fierce and mighty Long clan when they are exiled from Earth by their fearful government. Source: Endless Waltz novelization, Episode Zero

AC 022

Space colony construction begins at Lagrange point 1. Due to difficult working conditions and conflicts between the sponsor nations, construction is greatly delayed.

AC 050

Earth's nations begin withdrawing from space, until the countries of the Middle East - leaving the oil industry and looking for a new enterprise to invest in - join the colony project. Colony construction begins at the other Lagrange points.

AC 070

Due to a shortage of colony construction materials, disputes break out between Earth's nations. The Middle Eastern nations intercede and negotiate an end to the conflicts. Construction resumes, using asteroids as raw material.

AC 087

The colony V08744 is constructed at Lagrange point 2. Source: Endless Waltz novelization, Episode Zero

AC 102

An Island 2 type colony is completed at Lagrange point 1 (L-1). With this success achieved, the colony project goes on to construct population centers composed of multiple colonies, popularly known as "colony clusters."

On Earth, international disputes continue to escalate. Civilians flee the conflict by emigrating to the colonies, and soon 15% of the human population is living in space.

AC 130

With Earth's territorial lines redrawn, the conflicts die down.

AC 133

In the process of negotiating a lasting peace between the warring nations, the "United Earth Sphere Alliance" is established. In order to keep the peace - and deal with nations that oppose the new world government - the Alliance Forces are formed. One of the Alliance's key financial supporters is the military-industrial combine called the Romefeller Foundation.

AC 140

One by one, Earth's nations join the Alliance. As their mother countries join, the colonies are also enrolled, willing or not. The colonies are critical of the Alliance and its intentions, and the Alliance decides to respond with force in order to silence its critics.

AC 147

In the name of peace and justice, the Alliance invokes the authority of its member nations to forcibly seize control of the colonies.

AC 149

The Alliance assembly transfers control of the previously-independent colonies to the mother countries that originally constructed and settled them. These nations then kindle a new colony emigration boom.

AC 150

The colonists, favoring autonomy, become increasingly dissatisfied with Alliance control.

AC 165

In order to peacefully oppose the Alliance, the citizens of the colonies elect Heero Yuy as their representative. His charismatic leadership strengthens solidarity between the colonies.

AC 170

Colony leader Heero Yuy's policies of demilitarization and non-violence are well-received by many of Earth's nations.

AC 173

OZ, a subsidiary of the Romefeller Foundation, begins development of humanoid weapons known as "mobile suits."

AC 174

Colony leader Heero Yuy makes a goodwill tour of Earth's nations, laying the groundwork for colonial independence.
