In the year 0079 , humanity has spent the last nine months locked in an interstellar war between the forces of the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon , a group of space colonies that has declared independence to rebel against governance from their home planet.

Growing discontent at the direct control Earth had on the space colonies had been simmering for decades before the outbreak of open war.

The Earth Federation and Zeon met in Antarctica for peace talks, with the Federation on the brink of surrendering.

The Antarctic Treaty would formally forbid nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry from being deployed, as well as the use of colonies as weapons of mass destruction.

The ultimate breakthrough was Project V , a research operation to develop military mobile suits for the Earth Federation , alongside weaponry to match.

Project V would make use of compacted beam weaponry based on the batteries used by the Federation’s capital ships, a major technological development that outgunned the ballistic weaponry of the Zaku.

GQuuuuuuX is set in the aftermath of an alternative version of the Universal Century where Zeon ultimately won the war.

It's an opportunity to directly revisit and retell the story once more, while pushing it in new directions.

In many way, it’s perhaps the ultimate expression of what the franchise might still have to say about it all.
