Operation Meteor
The space colonists' plan for revenge against the Alliance and the secret
society which controls it. The operation is launched on April 7, AC 195 -
twenty years to the day after OZ assassins killed colony leader Heero
Yuy. As part of Operation Meteor five advanced Gundam mobile suits are
sent to Earth, disguised as shooting stars, to wage guerilla war against
the Alliance military.
OZ
As a corporate subsidiary of the Romefeller Foundation, OZ developed the
first military mobile suits. Around AC 175, OZ was refashioned into a
secret society, dedicated to carrying out the Romefeller Foundation's
plans. Most of the Specials are in fact OZ members, and through this
elite fighting force, OZ has infiltrated the Alliance military and
influenced its policies.
Romefeller Foundation
An industrial combine controlled by European aristocrats, which develops
and produces the Alliance's mobile suits. The Romefeller Foundation is
also a major financial backer of the Alliance, and through the secret
society OZ - disguised as the elite "Specials" force - it secretly
manipulates the Alliance for its own purposes.
Special Mobile Suit Corps ("Specials")
An elite branch of the Alliance military, made up of Romefeller
Foundation employees. The Specials were established in AC 176 as the
Alliance's first mobile suit force. Though other military branches have
adopted mobile suits over the last twenty years, the Specials still have
the most advanced equipment, training, and tactics.
Sweeper Group
An organization of scavengers and salvage merchants, with branches both
in space and on Earth. The Sweeper Group makes a comfortable living
collecting the debris that drifts in Earth orbit and the scrap produced
by Earth's recurring wars. Its members include Gundam pilot Duo Maxwell,
as well as the seagoing scavenger Howard.
United Earth Sphere Alliance
The world government that rules Earth and its space colonies. Established
in AC 133, after decades of warfare between Earth's nations, the Alliance
was created to unify the human race in peace and prosperity. From the
beginning, however, the Alliance used military force to accomplish its
noble goals. Now, after decades of crushing rogue nations and bullying
the space colonies, it's widely despised as a repressive dictatorship.
