After Colony
Encyclopedia : A : AF : AFT : After Colony
The After Colony timeline refers to the Gundam fictional universe where the Gundam W series take place, animes Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, along with their manga cohorts.
The After Colony timeline differs from the Universal Century timeline, in that the Earth Federation keeps control of the space colonies, and is more repressive. The struggle of the colonies is for freedom, not domination or independence.

- 133
- The United Earth Sphere Alliance is formed after Earth’s nations finally negotiate a peace treaty. However the peace is kept through military power. For this reason the Alliance Forces are established. A military-industry combine called the Romefeller Foundation is one of the Alliance’s major supporters.

- April 7 195
- Operation Meteor is started. Five Gundams are sent to Earth to fight against OZ and the Alliance.
- May 19 195
- The Gundams attack the Alliance's New Edwards Base, going on information that OZ's leadership was holding a conference. This, however, was part of an elaborate plan by Treize. The Gundams were tricked into slaying the Alliance members who were planning on seeking peace with the colonies. The only suvivor, General Septum, immediately declared war on the colonies, only to be killed by OZ's Lady Une minutes later. In the chaos following this incident, OZ launches Operation Daybreak, in which it destroys the Alliance and seizes its bases and holdings.
- September 195
- Disgusted at the Romefeller Foundation's increased usage of mobile dolls, Treize resigns from his position as OZ's leader. Fearing Treize's power and influence, Romefellar places him under house arrest in his Luxembourg mansion. OZ quickly splits into two factions, those loyal to Treize and those loyal to Romafellar.
- November 195

- The escalating tension between the World Nation and White Fang comes to a head in a final, pitched battle. Treize is slain in battle with Altron Gundam pilot Chang Wufei. Even after the World Nation surrenders, Milliardo engages in a duel with Gundam pilot Heero Yuy. Finding meaning in this pointless battle, the Earth and colonies decide to meet at the negotiating table. Milliardo vanishes after losing to Heero, who destroys Libra to prevent it from being dropped on Earth.

- The Earth Sphere United Nation is formed. Relena Darlian is elected to the position of Vice Foreign Minister, the same position her adoptive father held. Under her guidance, the United Nation begins disarming the arsenals left over from the last war.
- Summer, 196
- The organization known as the Perfect Peace People calls for greater disarmament, even beyond what Relena advocates; they especially want the Gundams destroyed. However, it is discovered that this is part of a greater plan that involves locating a lost mobile doll manufacturing plant. The plot is uncovered by the Gundam pilots and dealt with swiftly.
- December 24 196
- The ESUN holds a Christmas party to celebrate how far it's come since the Eve War. Feeling that they are no longer needed, the Gundam pilots (sans Wufei) launch their Gundams towards the Sun. Meanwhile, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian is abducted while at a conference on the colony L3-X18999.

- The recovered Gundams, along with Preventers Fire (Lucrezia Noin) and Wind (Zechs Merquise, who was thought to have died in the Eve Wars), lead an attack on the Mariemaia Army in Brussels. The rebellion collapses when it is revealed that its creator, Dekim Barton, was carrying it out only for his own revenge for Heero Yuy's assassination and not for Treize's ideals. Dekim is killed and the Mariemaia Army soldiers, all Treize loyalists, surrender. Mariemaia is shot by Dekim, but survives the attack and is taken in by Treize's former associate, Lady Une.
- 197
