Timeline


This is the current timeline for the game. Relatively important dates are listed in blue, whearas relatively unimportant dates are listed in White.

Note that this is NOT an official Gundam timeline, it has been both shortened and editted. Certain "canon" events have been changed or removed, and other events have been added, in order to create a more successful PBEM RPG environment, and this timeline does not pretend to be official in any way. If you would like a more or less official 0079 Gundam Timeline, I'd suggest the High Frontier website. They're good people.
