It is the year 0077 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die.
9 years ago, the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth, called Side 3, proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a cold war of independence against the Earth Federation. Side 6, inspired by their brethren, now seek to make a name for themselves. Calling themselves the Republic of Riah, Side 6 has fallen into a civil war between nationalists and loyalists. EFSF has dispatched a fleet of Salamis from Luna II to rescue the loyalists, while the ZMF has dispatched a fleet of Musai from Side 3 to blockade them. One day has passed since the rebellion began.
They were at a stalemate.
