Space Calendar (SC) 99. In the previous age, the governments of Earth formed the Federated Earth Nation (FEN) to bring World War III to an end. After putting down the defiant lunar colony, the Federation Space Calendar was instituted. To alleviate environmental pressures and overpopulation, the FEN began expanding into space, constructing space colonies and asteroid cities, building an Orbital Space Ring around Earth, and developing and terraforming the Moon and Mars. This was accomplished in a short time, due to quantum leaps in physics and energy research. But the FEN's repression of those living in the colonies ignited a war between factions in space, including OZ, the true leaders of the FEN. This "Revolutionary War" ended in 98 with the death of FEN President Treize Khushrenada. From Treize's will, a New United Nations was formed, returning power to the individual states. But the new Earth Sphere's troubles seemed to multiply. The Earth Sphere was invaded by the Radam, who seized control of the Orbital Space Ring, and the invaders known as the Jovian Lizards, who destroyed the Mars Colony. In addition, internal strife, such as the arbitrary distinction between Coordinators and Naturals, and mechanized terrorism, seem to be taking the New United Nations to the breaking point. On June 13, SC 99, Kazuma Ardygun and his family, a group of Trailers, are tasked with escorting Quatre Raberba Winner and Duo Maxwell, disguised as "Heero Yuy", to Earth.
