The Storyline of New Destiny

[Michael Kielty]

(Part 1)
A.D. Calendar As petroleum resources run out, and environmental pollution worsens, a worldwide economic collapse ensues. The world's nations form economic blocs, and the planet becomes divided into a handful of major powers.

Ethnic and religious strife leads to a global conflict known as the Reconstruction War, while the Type S influenza virus spreads throughout the world. Disease and war produce massive casualties.

C.E. -16 4.1 George Glenn is born.

C.E. 1 Nuclear weapons are employed on the frontlines of central Asia, in the Kashmir region.

C.E. 4 George Glenn is nominated for a Nobel Prize.

C.E. 5 George Glenn enlists in the military.

C.E. 9 The Reconstruction War ends. The previous national order has been radically changed, and new powers like the Atlantic Federation, Eurasian Federation, and Republic of East Asia have emerged.

The United Nations formally adopts the Cosmic Era calendar and announces a new space development program. Construction of the space station Yggdrasil, which had been interrupted by the global war, resumes at Lagrange point 1.

C.E. 10 The space colony plan begins in earnest, and a space industry arises to exploit the new frontier. Construction of the lunar city Copernicus begins.

George Glenn becomes an employee of the Atlantic Federation's Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration (FASA).

The Atlantic Federation establishes the Federal Space Force (FSF). The Eurasian Federation and the Republic of East Asia follow suit.

C.E. 11 The space station Yggdrasil is completed.

C.E. 12 The lunar city Copernicus is completed.

FASA launches a Jupiter exploration project and announces the development of the exploration ship Tsiolkovsky. George Glenn is to be the ship's chief designer, and the space station Yggdrasil will serve as the construction site.

C.E. 15 The exploration ship Tsiolkovsky is completed.

George Glenn's Confession. As George Glenn departs for Jupiter aboard the Tsiolkovsky, he reveals the existence of Coordinators, and releases the necessary genetic engineering techniques onto the worldwide network. The world is thrown into chaos by these events.

In the name of environmental protection, the pressure group Blue Cosmos declares itself adamantly opposed to Coordinator technology.

C.E. 16 An international conference is held to discuss the Coordinator controversy. A protocol on genetic modification is adopted, totally prohibiting the manipulation of human genes. Nonetheless, some wealthy individuals secretly have their children turned into Coordinators.

C.E. 17 A hospital in Chicago which has secretly been creating Coordinators is set ablaze. Blue Cosmos is rumored to be involved.

Construction of the Porta Panama mass driver begins in Central America.

C.E. 21 Construction of the Habilis mass driver begins on the shore of Lake Victoria.

C.E. 22 The Tsiolkovsky reaches Jupiter and discovers the fossil known as Evidence 01. The world is again thrown into chaos, and FASA orders the Tsiolkovsky to bring back the fossil.

Steven Kielty, a Coordinator, is secretly born in the Kingdom of Scandinavia.

C.E. 23 Patrick Zala, a Coordinator, is secretly born in the Atlantic Federation.

C.E. 29 George Glenn returns from Jupiter with Evidence 01. The fossil is taken to the Zodiac research colony at Lagrange point 5 for detailed examination.

C.E. 30 The world's religious authorities gather at the Palestine Conference, but are unable to reach any conclusions, and their influence begins to wane. Tolerance for Coordinators spreads throughout the world, and the first Coordinator boom begins.

The space industry heats up, and construction of numerous space colonies begins at Lagrange point 4.

The Orb Union begins construction of the Kaguya mass driver and the resource satellite Heliopolis.

C.E. 31 The restrictions on George Glenn are lifted, and he begins examining Evidence 01 at Zodiac. The colony's extraterrestrial research organization expands into a huge research facility.

C.E. 35 The Atlantic Federation establishes a lunar base in the Ptolemaeus Crater, drawing international condemnation, and unveils its first series of mobile armors. Earth's major powers begin a space arms race, and the Eurasian Federation begins the construction of Artemis.

C.E. 38 The Zodiac research colony is further expanded. George Glenn announces his concept for a new type of space colony, and construction of these new colonies begins. This project is funded mainly by the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, and the Republic of East Asia, and the new L5 colony cluster is to be managed by representatives of these sponsor nations.

C.E. 40 ~ The first generation of Coordinators, born in secrecy, reach maturity and begin to excel in every scientific, artistic, and athletic field. The differences between Coordinators and Naturals thus become very clear, and critical voices emerge.

C.E. 41 Marriages among first-generation Coordinators produce a purebred second generation, who soon prove to have inherited their parents' abilities.

Muruta Azrael is born in the Atlantic Federation.

C.E. 43 Patrick Zala and Steven Kielty, participating in the construction of new colonies at Lagrange point 5, meet for the first time.

C.E. 44 The first ten space colonies (later known as Aprilius City) of the new L5 cluster are completed. These colonies, dubbed PLANTs, are intended to serve as large-scale production sites. The one thing they don't make is food, which the PLANTs are strictly prohibited from producing and which must be imported entirely from Earth.

C.E. 45 The estimated Coordinator population now exceeds ten million.

Anti-Coordinator organizations begin carrying out acts of terrorism against the PLANTs. Since they have no political autonomy and are thoroughly demilitarized, the PLANTs are unable to defend themselves, and the Coordinators working in the PLANTs become increasingly dissatisfied.

C.E. 46 Al Da Flaga visits the Mendel colony at Lagrange point 4. He commissions Dr. Ulen Hibiki, the chief researcher of GARM R&D, to create a clone of himself. Rau La Flaga is born later this year.

C.E. 50 In order to obtain autonomy and trading independence for the PLANTs, Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala form the political organization known as the Zodiac Alliance. They begin working to abolish food production restrictions and secure self-defense rights for the PLANTs, but their efforts are suppressed by the sponsor nations, and the Zodiac Alliance goes underground.

C.E. 53 George Glenn is assassinated. It's rumored that Blue Cosmos is behind this incident.

A PLANT Supreme Council is formed, made up of representatives from each of the PLANT cities.

C.E. 54 The Type S influenza mutates, rendering existing vaccines useless, and a Type S2 influenza outbreak begins. Rumors spread that Coordinators created this virus to exterminate the Naturals and avenge George Glenn.

C.E. 55 Religious authorities claim that the Type S2 outbreak is a divine punishment, and public opinion again turns against genetic modification. The Torino Protocol is adopted, and genetic modification is once again prohibited anywhere on Earth. Anti-Coordinator sentiments increase among the Naturals.

As the damage caused by the Type S2 outbreak mounts, riots break out. The GARM R&D research facility at the Mendel colony is attacked by an armed group which claims to be Blue Cosmos.

Shortly Afterwards Dr Hibiki requests Steven Kielty to come to Mendel. Along with his wife Jackie Steven leaves his duaghter Maryana in a boarding school at PLANT.

A Type S2 influenza vaccine is successfully developed in the PLANTs, and delivery of the vaccine to Earth's surface begins. Nonetheless, anti-Coordinator sentiments remain strong, and Coordinators remaining on Earth begin leaving for space.

C.E. 57 The space forces of the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, and the Republic of East Asia establish a military presence in the PLANTs' airspace. This combined force is the predecessor to the later Earth Alliance Forces.

C.E. 58 Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala are elected to the PLANT Supreme Council. Meanwhile, their Zodiac Alliance remains active and continues to attract more sympathizers.

Uzumi Nara Athha becomes chief representative of the Orb Union.

The Orb Union begins construction of the orbital elevator Ame-no-Mihashira.

C.E. 59 Steven and Jackie Kielty (now pregnant) flee Mendel and take up residence in ORB. Uzumi offers Steven a job working alongside him, Steven Agrees.

C.E. 60 ~ The PLANTs become major sources of Earth's energy and manufactured goods. The sponsor nations continue to reap ever greater benefits, and impose ever heavier quotas on the PLANTs. Meanwhile, other nations grow increasingly resentful of the sponsor nations' monopoly profits.

Michael Kielty is Born

C.E. 61 After surviving a terror attack by an anti-Coordinator organization within the PLANTs, Patrick Zala orders PLANTS scientists and mechanics to create a wepaon superior to the Mobile Armour, the first talk of Mobile Suits begins.

C.E. 62 James Kielty is born

C.E. 63 The PLANTs' energy production department is destroyed by Blue Cosmos terrorism. The PLANT Supreme Council proposes a temporary suspension of exports, but the sponsor nations reject the suggestion, sending the PLANTs into a severe energy crisis. When the PLANTs' engineers carry out a coordinated sabotage campaign, the sponsor nations respond by threatening the PLANTs with their fleet of mobile armors.

Within the PLANTs, calls for autonomy grow louder. Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala become leaders of a Supreme Council faction which seeks independence from the sponsor nations. Research into the military applications of mobile suits begins.

C.E. 65 The first prototype mobile suit is secretly rolled out. The Zodiac Alliance steps up its activities and attracts more sympathizers, changing its name to the Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty (ZAFT).

C.E. 67 The GINN, the first fully functional mobile suit, is completed. A section of Maius City is secretly converted and begins production of mobile suits.

C.E. 68 Siegel Clyne is elected chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council. The PLANT Supreme Council, now dominated by ZAFT members, votes to make autonomy and trading independence its highest priorities. The sponsor nations respond with a show of armed force, but the PLANTs carry out a military expansion of their own, and a standoff ensues.

Blue Cosmos grows in strength. Its ranks expand to the hundreds of thousands, and persecution of Coordinators living on Earth intensifies. As a result, almost all Coordinators emigrate to the PLANTs.

Chairman Clyne makes secret arrangements to exchange imports of food and exports of manufactured goods with the United States of South America and the Oceania Union. Learning of these arrangements, the sponsor nations demand the dismissal of Chairman Clyne, the dissolution of the PLANT Supreme Council, and the complete renunciation of autonomy for the PLANTs. These demands are rejected by the PLANTs.

In response to the Mandelbrot Incident, ZAFT is reorganized under Patrick Zala's leadership, and combined with the PLANTs' domestic security operations to become a military organization equipped with mobile suits.

A biohazard breaks out inside the Mendel colony at Lagrange point 4. Numerous casualties ensue, and the colony is abandoned, then sterilized with a massive bombardment of X-rays. The involvement of Blue Cosmos is rumored.

Uzumi steps down as Prime Minister of ORB. Steven Kielty takes over as leader and soon becomes a respected figure in the council and the country itself.

C.E. 69 Chairman Clyne orders PLANTs seven through ten of Junius City remodeled for agricultural production. The sponsor nations, determined to prevent the PLANTs from producing their own food, begin intimidation maneuvers. At this point ZAFT and its mobile suit forces make their combat debut, overwhelming Earth's mobile armors and driving the forces of the sponsor nations out of the PLANTs' airspace.

Captain Halberton of the Atlantic Federation's 4th Fleet (which will later become the 8th Fleet of the Earth Alliance) recognizes the mobile suit's effectiveness in space combat, and proposes the development of the "G series." Halberton's proposal is rejected by his superiors, but some of them provide assistance so that the project can proceed in secrecy.

Chairman Clyne issues demands for complete autonomy and trade equality to the sponsor nations. The PLANTs promise to halt resource exports to Earth should no response arrive by January 1 of the following year.


C.E. 70 1.1 As they meet with representatives of the sponsor nations, PLANT Supreme Council members are targeted by a terror attack, and one council member is slain. Blue Cosmos claims responsibility, but when it becomes clear that the sponsor nations were behind the attack, the PLANTs halt all resource exports. The sponsor nations, which have become dependent on the PLANTs for all such production, are rendered destitute.

2.5 The Tragedy of Copernicus. At the urging of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, negotiations take place at the lunar city Copernicus. A terrorist bombing claims the lives of the sponsor nations' representatives, the Secretary-General, and the rest of the United Nations leadership. The PLANT representative, Chairman Clyne, is delayed by a shuttle malfunction and escapes the bombing.

2.7 The Alaska Declaration. The Atlantic Federation announces the establishment of the Earth Alliance.

2.8 Representative Kielty announces that the Orb Union will remain neutral and independent.

2.11 The Earth Alliance declares war against the PLANTs, and an invasion force sets out from the Ptolemaeus lunar base. Meanwhile, Blue Cosmos loyalists in the military secretly load a nuclear missile aboard the mobile armor carrier Roosevelt.

2.14 The Bloody Valentine. ZAFT mobile suit forces repel the Earth Alliance attack. However, the agricultural colony Junius Seven is hit by a nuclear missile, and 243,721 people lose their lives in this tragedy. Patrick Zala's wife Lenore is among the casualties.

2.18 At a national memorial for the Bloody Valentine victims, Chairman Clyne swears to resist the Earth Alliance to the very end, and offers to give trading preference to nations which decline to join the Alliance. The Oceania Union and the United States of South America accept Clyne's offer.

2.19 Earth Alliance forces launch an armed invasion of the United States of South America. The Panama spaceport is seized by force, and the Atlantic Federation annexes the South American continent.

2.20 Condemning the Earth Alliance's invasion of Central and South America, the Oceania Union declares its support for the PLANTs. The Alliance responds by declaring war against the Oceania Union as well.


2.22 A battle begins over the space station Yggdrasil. The Earth Alliance commits its 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets to this fierce battle, while the PLANTs deploy their N-Jammers for the first time. Both sides' forces are evenly matched, and ZAFT suffers heavy losses. Yggdrasil itself ultimately collapses, its ruins becoming part of the Debris Belt, and Char Aznable is awarded the Order of the Nebula for his accomplishments in this battle.

3.8 The first Battle of Victoria. ZAFT forces begin an invasion of Earth, with the Victoria spaceport as their first target. However, the operation ends in failure.

3.15 Assessing the failures of the Victoria attack, the PLANT Supreme Council decides on an equatorial campaign dubbed Operation Uroboros.

4.1 The April Fool Crisis. ZAFT launches Operation Uroboros by scattering N-Jammers across Earth's surface, plunging the nations of the Earth Alliance into a severe energy crisis.

4.2 The Battle of Carpentaria. ZAFT drops the disassembled components of a military base from orbit to the Gulf of Carpentaria. Within 48 hours, the foundations of the Carpentaria Base have been laid. The Earth Alliance's Pacific Fleet engages the ZAFT forces, but is defeated.

4.17 The first Battle of Jachin Due. The Earth Alliance's 5th and 6th Fleets set off from the Ptolemaeus lunar base to attack the PLANT homeland, and are intercepted by ZAFT forces in the vicinity of the resource satellite Jachin Due.

5.3 ZAFT begins an offensive whose ultimate target is the Ptolemaeus lunar base. A ZAFT base is established in the Lorentz Crater, and the moon is divided along what becomes known as the Grimaldi Front.

5.20 The Carpentaria Base is completed, and ZAFT deploys the aerial mobile suit DINN.

5.22 ZAFT's campaign to capture terrestrial bases begins in earnest. Using the Carpentaria Base as a staging area, ZAFT launches an invasion of the Mediterranean region.

5.25 The first Casablanca Sea Battle. The Earth Alliance's Mediterranean fleet engages ZAFT's submarine carrier fleet in a naval battle near Casablanca. The victorious ZAFT forces then enter the Mediterranean and begin advancing southward into Africa. Meanwhile, construction of the Gibraltar base begins.

5.30 The Suez Battle. ZAFT ground forces defeat a massive Earth Alliance tank corps at El Alamein. The ZAFT forces begin heading south, expanding their territory into Africa.

6.2 The final battle of the Grimaldi Front takes place at an Earth Alliance resource base in the Endymion Crater. The Alliance loses its 3rd Fleet, but is able to use a Cyclops System to wipe out the ZAFT forces. Many Alliance forces are also sacrificed in the process.

6.14 At Lagrange point 4, fighting begins around the resource satellite Nova, which is controlled by the Republic of East Asia. Skirmishes continue for almost a month, with neither side carrying out a decisive strike, and many of the space colonies of the L4 cluster are damaged during the fighting.

7.12 The Earth Alliance abandons Nova, and the fighting comes to an end. Both sides cease major military operations, and although small skirmishes continue on Earth and in space, the overall war enters a stalemate.

The mobile suit development project proposed by Commodore Halberton, commander of the Alliance's 8th Fleet, is reexamined as a means of breaking this deadlock. With the assistance of Morgenroete, development of the G series and the mobile suit carrier Archangel begins in earnest at Heliopolis.


10.22 Secret discussions are arranged between Chairman Clyne and Earth Alliance Secretary-General Olbani, using the Reverend Malchio as an intermediary. Their goal is to break the stalemate, alleviate famine conditions, and find middle ground for a compromise to end the war. However, these negotiations fail to bear fruit.

C.E. 71 1.15 Activity in the Pacific theater increases. ZAFT attacks the Republic of East Asia's Kaohsiung spaceport.

1.20 Five GAT-X series mobile suits, and the warship Archangel, are secretly rolled out at Heliopolis.

1.23 The Kaohsiung spaceport falls.

1.24 A ZAFT team (later named Black Wolf team) investigates reports of a new Earth Alliance military satellite under construction at Lagrange point 3. However, the information proves faulty and no fighting ensues. On their way back, they obtain intelligence on the Alliance's mobile suits from a spy who has infiltrated Heliopolis.

1.25 The Black Wolf team enters Heliopolis to capture the Earth Alliance's mobile suits. The Alliance manage to rescue the Blitz and Duel, ZAFT claims Aegis and Buster along with technical data on all five models whilst a special ORB force manages to obtain the Strike and Archangel.

Roughly six hours later, Heliopolis collapses, and the Archangel begins a silent run to evade the Black Wolf team's pursuit. The Alliance meanwhiole follow the Black Wolf team with their Gundams onboard.

1.27 The Archangel is boarded by Alliance Ships at the satellite Artemis, and is seized by the Eurasian Republic. A sneak attack by the Black Wolf allows them to escape whilst ZAFT and Alliance forces fight.

2.2 Signel Clyne accompanies a memorial delegation sent to inspect the ruins of Junius Seven, to mark the one year anniversary of the Bloody Valentine tragedy. His vessel, the Silverwind, comes under attack.

2.3 The Archangel rescues Signel Clyne in the Debris Belt.

2.6 The Archangel receives a signal from the 8th Fleet advance force. Offering a truce they permit the Archangel to recieve supplies in exchnage for the Strike Gundam.

2.7 The Archangel attempts to rendezvous with the 8th Fleet advance force of ORB, but the advance force is wiped out by the Black Wolf team.

2.8 Archangel hands over Signel to the Aegis.

2.11 Just before its rendezvous with the 8th Fleet, the Archangel battles the four GAT-X series machines in a fight three way fight.

2.13 The Archangel attempts to descend to Earth, but comes under attack from the Black Wolf and Alliance Gunda, teams. The 8th Fleet is annihilated in the ensuing battle.

The second Battle of Victoria. After reinforcing its African front, ZAFT captures the Victoria spaceport.

2.14 A Bloody Valentine memorial ceremony is held in the PLANTs. News of Victoria's fall is celebrated with flowers.

The Archangel lands in the territory of the ZAFT-controlled African Community. Meanwhile, Black Wolf land at the Gibraltar base.

2.15 ZAFT forces led by ace pilot Andrew Waltfeld's attack the Archangel. The Archangel joins forces with the Desert Dawn resistance group.

2.16 The town of Tassil is destroyed by the Waltfeld team. Desert Dawn pursues the Waltfeld team, sustaining numerous casualties.

2.26 The Black Wolf Gundams join forces with the Waltfeld team.


2.28 The Waltfeld team is wiped out in battle with the Archangel.

3.3 The Archangel escapes into the Red Sea. The ship is attacked by the Morassim team in the Gulf of Aden.

3.6 The Alliance Gundams land on Earth

3.7 The Archangel battles the Morassim team in the Indian Ocean. Despite the difficult odds They manage to succeed

3.15 The Archangel reaches the Strait of Malacca, where it battles waiting ZAFT forces. Due to a submarine carrier malfunction, the Black Wolf team arrives too late to join the fighting, and the Archangel escapes without fatal damage.

3.23 The Archangel is attacked by the Black Wolf team just outside the Orb Union. The ship ultimately returns to Orb territorial waters by feigning a crash landing, then docks at Onogoro island.

3.25 Steven Kielty reveals to the Archangel crew and his two sons the development of the M1 Astray at an underground base on Onogoro. Whilst he declares them to be just for defence Michael beleives ORB needs to stop the war.

4.1 The PLANT Supreme Council elects Patrick Zala as its new chairman. Chairman Zala proposes Operation Spit Break, his plan to intensify Operation Uroboros, and the council approves the proposal the same day.


5.5 Operation Spit Break is launched. Due to a last-minute change of target, 72 hours elapse between this order and the actual start of the attack.


5.8 ZAFT forces attack Alaska, and Operation Spit Break begins in earnest. The attack is led by Char Aznable and the ZAFT Gundams. The Alliance Gundams join the battle , the Earth Alliance uses a Cyclops System to destroy the JOSH-A base. Whilst the Gundams are only damaged their pilots are killed

5.12 Chairman Zala makes a memorial address, blaming the Clyne faction for the failure at Alaska. The PLANT Supreme Council clamps down on the Clyne faction, charging it with the theft of the Freedom Gundam and the leaking of intelligence. Siegel is declared wanted for treason.

5.15 Realising that the war will soon end up in outer space Steven Kielty takes command of the newly created ORB fleet and preparations are made to launch into space.


5.25 The Battle of Panama. ZAFT uses the Gungnir System to attack the Panama spaceport, and the Earth Alliance's mass-produced Strike Dagger mobile suits enter combat for the first time. The Porta Panama mass driver is destroyed by the Gungnir System.

5.29 At a meeting of the Earth Alliance leadership, Director Muruta Azrael of the Defense Industry Association proposes an attack on the Orb Union.

6.1 The Earth Alliance urges the Equatorial Union, the Kingdom of Scandinavia, and the Orb Union to renounce their neutrality and join the Alliance.

6.13 The Atlantic Federation dispatches its 4th Naval Fleet to demand that the Orb Union dismiss Representative Kielty, dissolve its legislature, and disarm itself. Orb is given 48 hours to make its reply.


6.15 Representative Kielty rejects the Atlantic Federation's demands. The Atlantic Federation attacks the Orb Union, deploying its newest GAT-X series machines, while Orb sends its M1 Astray mobile suits into battle for the first time. Remarkably ORB wins the battle by the start of the new day, the Alliance retreats.

6.16 Representative Kielty begins launching the fleet into space and the Pillar of Autumn becomes the base of operations. Steven leaves ORB in the hands of his wife Jackie. James also promises to look after ORB

Michael Kielty sneaks onboard the Archangel and continues Mobile Suit training inside an M1

6.18 The Freedom Theft Incident, when a new model Mobile Suit is tested near the ORB fleet a squadron of M1s go to investigate. Michael follows to test his skills. In the resulting fight that ensures Michael ends up at the controls of the Freedom Gundam and battles Char Aznable. The duel ends when someone both pilots knew his killed and ORB claims Freedom.

The third Battle of Victoria. The Earth Alliance attacks the ZAFT-controlled Victoria base, deploying numerous Dagger variations and new prototype machines for combat evaluation purposes.

6.20 Azrael becomes captain of the Dominion, second ship of the Archangel class. [SEED PHASE-41]

6.25 The Earth Alliance recaptures the Victoria spaceport. Its self-destruct system is shut down at the last minute by Alliance special forces.

6.26 The PLANT Supreme Council begins building up ZAFT's space forces. Char Aznable is recalled to the PLANT homeland.

6.27 Char's platoon depart from the Victoria Base.

6.28 Azrael launches into space from the Victoria spaceport.

6.30 The ORB space fleet arrive at Lagrange point 4's Mendel colony. Michael Kielty is assigned to the Freedom after being help in the detention block by his father.

7.3 The Calamity, Forbidden, and Raider Gundams are assigned to the Dominion. The fate of the original four Gundams is unknown.

7.5 The Eternal arrives at Mendel, where it joins the ORB forces. The ships crew are members of the Clyne Faction, the ship is captained by Signel himself and offers the ORB fleet the METEOR Pack for the Freedom. Michael Kielty is assigned as a pilot of the Eternal.

7.7 The Red Comet team, assigned to pursue the Eternal, heads for Lagrange point 4.

7.12 The Dominion battles the Archangel at Mendel whilst the rest of the fleet return to Earth's orbit.

Michael and Char battle again with tensions running high.

Flay Allstar, an Alliance pilot rescued from JOSHUA by Char is retrieved by the Dominion. She is also carrying the blueprints of the N-Jammer Canceler. It is not known to anyone that it is a plan set up by Patrick Zala. The flagship of the Red Comet team, the Nazca-class destroyer Vesalius, is destroyed.

Under the leadership of Signel Clyne, the Eternal and its companion ships establish contact with Orb's Space former , the former Clyne faction in the PLANTs, and peace factions within the Earth Alliance, and begin working for a speedy end to the war. Thanks to the Reverend Malchio, they also receive the cooperation of the Junk Guild as they move to and fro.

7.16 The Earth Alliance leadership decides to begin development of nuclear missiles equipped with N-Jammer Cancelers.

7.24 The second Casablanca Sea Battle. The Earth Alliance invades Gibraltar, and ZAFT abandons the base and withdraws from Europe.

[Angelis Karith]

this is very Orb centered and skips over the actual bulk of the storyline.
