Unveiling the Enigmatic Correct Century

In the realm of Gundam, a mysterious timeline has captivated fans worldwide. Dubbed the Correct Century, this fictional universe is a culmination of events from every previous Gundam series. But what lies beneath its surface?

A World of Contrasts

Imagine a future where humanity has regressed to a technological level comparable to the early 20th century. This is the reality on Earth, where the remnants of a catastrophic past, known as the “Dark History,” have left their mark. In stark contrast, the Moonrace, a futuristic society, has transformed the lunar landscape into a utopian paradise. They possess advanced technology, including Mobile Suits, while the people of Earth can only discover relics of the past in archaeological digs.

The Correct Century hints at its complex past, with glimpses of pivotal battles from previous Gundam series. However, the truth remains shrouded in secrecy, hidden within the chronicles of the Dark History on the moon.
