AC 199. It has been just under three years since Mariemaia's failed revolution, and the fourth anniversary of the infamous villain Treize Khushrenada's defeat approaches, along with a new century. This century, many hope, will be a peaceful and prosperous one, devoid of all war and strife.
Of course, not all share such sentiments. There are still those scattered across the colonies and upon Earth who are unsatisfied with the arrangements brought about by the Earth Sphere United Nation. Also amongst these are several handfuls of soldiers, who have found themselves without a place on this world now that the fighting is ended. Many of those who have fought have managed to move on, but there are still those who find themselves unable to adjust to this new environment.
The ESUN's anti-rebel organization known as the Preventers have managed to keep the flames of insurrection and rebellion down to a bare minimum, but even they cannot be everywhere at once. They are wearing thin, and have recently decided to open their ranks to accept new members, furthering decreasing the population of dissatisfied soldiers.
Still, the flames of war sputter and flicker. Tales have been spreading along the edge of colonial space of a new menace. Some unknown organization, dubbed the Camorra, has been preying on unwary ships. At first dismissed as a simple rumor, these vicious attacks have been growing bolder and more frequent as of late. What was once a few scattered rumors amongst the more outlying colonies now has the ESUN by storm. Most particularly worrying are the tales of the weapons these pirates wield: Mobile Suits. So far they have evaded any attempts of capture and negotiation. Is this something beyond the scope of the Preventers? Will the five Gundam pilots be forced out of retirement one final time?
"It's more difficult to maintain the peace than it is to attain it."

"I do not accept Relena Peacecraft's ways. Her belief that peace is obtained by throwing away weapons and confining soldiers is wrong."

"History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever."
