Mars Century: A New Era for Gundam

The Mars Century timeline, a continuation of the After Colony era, unfolds a new chapter in the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing saga. This narrative thread weaves together the events of New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop, a novel serialized in Gundam Ace.

A New Frontier

In the year MC-0001, humanity embarks on a monumental journey, colonizing Mars. As the red planet becomes a new home, the passage of time is measured in Mars years and Earth seasons, creating a unique chronology.

Key Events

• MC-0012: Hilde Schbeiker and Duo Maxwell part ways, while Duo emigrates to Mars.
• MC-0014: Trowa Barton and Catherine Bloom join the Martian settlers.
• MC-0015: Duo recovers from a motorbike accident and reunites with Hilde, eventually marrying her.
• MC-0016: The Mars Federation deploys its first Mars Suits, while Trowa and Cathy become part of the anti-military movement.
• MC-0017: Four dismantled Gundam frames are discovered, and Father Maxwell encounters Zechs Merquise and his daughter Naina Peacecraft.

A New Generation

As the years pass, new characters emerge. Katherine Oud Winner and her friend Stella enroll at St. Minerva Junior School, while Father Maxwell becomes a bounty hunter to pay off his debts. Meanwhile, Zechs Merquise, aka “Cyrene Wind,” takes on a new identity.

Conflict and Turmoil

The Mars Federation and rebel forces clash, leading to Stella’s tragic death. Katherine hijacks a Mars Suit and joins the rebels, while Quatre Raberba Winner and Doktor T arrive to take her to their base. The Epyon is discovered, and its design data is taken by Master Chang.

A New Era of Leadership

Relena Peacecraft awakens from cryogenic sleep and becomes the President of the Mars Federation, declaring it a pacifist nation. Katherine Winner meets Relena, Naina Peacecraft, and Milou Peacecraft, marking the beginning of a new era.

The Future Unfolds
