The story of Gundam BLACK is indeed as its name suggests...Black. The story takes place in a near-war torn age in a time line known as the Double Era, named for the seemingly reccuring events that were taking place.
In the year CE 98 the remnants of the Blue Cosmos gathered up for one final attempt to wipe out the Coordinators. Although they knew it would be hard, they knew that in order to fulfill Lord Djibril's ideals they would have to make it work. Months later they recieved help from Ex-Earth Forces members, who gave them access to several nuclear bombs. It was with these that the Blue Cosmos will do what the EA were not able to accomplish...completely destroy the PLANTs, and if possible, Coordinators all together.
Finally the day came, December 29th, CE 99. The Blue Cosmos had hijacked ZAFT ships days early in which they stored the weapons, making their way to the PLANT Colonies. After approaching, they docked each of the ZAFT ships at the colonies. Deciding ahead of time to remain on the ships to activate the bombs manually, ensuring success. At the exact moment what the year officially turned to CE 100, the bombs were detonated, destroying the entire PLANT Colony area. Luckily, around 100 lucky Coordinators had been living new lives in the safe nation of ORB. However...sad times grew among the nearly extinct race as they learned that their main icon and inspirational figure, Lacus Clyne had been in the PLANTs to dicuss the New Year...thus being one of the victims of the nuclear halocaust.
Learning that the Blue Cosmos was the cause, the Earth Forces immediately apprehended every member of the group, including those that were in the Earth Forces themselves. They were executed immediately. Although the threat itself had been removed, the Coordinators that remained found it unsatisfactory, stating that nearly the entire Coordinator race had been erased in a matter of minutes.
After 20 years the calendar was changed to a new calendar, named the "Double Era", for the seemingly reccuring events of the Earth's past. The newly formed Republic of London was made up of the Earth Forces members with new ideals, believing that Naturals and Coordinators were equal. The rest took the name "Union of Destiny", they hated Coordinators and left them out of their country, thus hating the Republic. The ORB Union became "FREE" meaning "Freedom and Rights for Everyone Everywhere". It was here that anyone, Coordinator or Natural would be able to stay without the restrictions of the other two factions.
It has been nearly two years...and recent military development has begun to raise the temptation of battle...
