Introduction

After the disastrous events of Operation Stardust the Earth Federation created the Titans at the urging of Commodore Jamitov Hymem to hunt down former Principality of Zeon members and to quell any Federation resistance. However because the Titans were made up of Earth-born elites they didn’t understood the people in space and often acted very brutal towards them. Also the Titans started to increase their influence in the Federation which weakened it but strengthened the Titans. In the meantime hatred for the Federation increased in the colonies and sabotage acts and demonstrations against it took place. To quell this actions the Titans sent their troops to all colonies. Also the first two colonies at Side 7, Green Noa 1 and 2 (later called Gryps), became the headquarters of the Titans and the inner surface of both colonies was covered with military facilities and factories.

The 30 Bunch Incident

On July 31 UC0085 a demonstration took place in colony 30 at Side 1. This demonstration however got out of control and the Federation troops weren’t able to stop it so the Titans intervened. They pumped G3, the most deadly poison gas inside the colony which killed all three million inhabitants. When the Federation decided not to punish the Titans for this incident, the Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG) was formed. Their leader became former Earth Federation member Blex Forra. They also got help from Anaheim Electronics and also many colonies and moon cities started to support them.

The Gryps Conflict

Gundam stealing

The Gryps Conflict officially started on March 2, UC0087, when a small AEUG troop infiltrated the two Titan colonies at Side 7. The leader of this troop was Quattro Bajeena (the disguised Char Aznable) who alone infiltrated Gryps. During his research he is confronted with the new RX-178 Gundam Mk-II and after he left the colony the group decided to steal the new Gundam. With the help of a civilian boy named Kamille Bidan, whose parents were members of the Titans and developed the Mark II, they were able to steal two of the three Mark II units. Because of this Kamille joined the AEUG despite his parent’s job. During this small battle the Titans were also confronted by the new RMS-099 Rick Dias mobile suit and the new battleship Argama.

However Bask Om, who was on Green Noah 1, reacted very quickly and decided to take Kamille’s parents as hostages and deliver a message to the Argama through a young officer named Emma Sheen, who piloted the third Gundam Mark II. When Kamille found out about this he tried to rescue his parents however they were both killed in the following battle. Nevertheless it was a success for the AEUG because Emma, who rejected Bask’s cruel methods, joined the AEUG and now also the third Mk II belonged to them. However only one unit was still able to fight and after being repainted Kamille became its pilot.

To the moon

After the successful "Gundamjack" the Titans announced to the world that this incident was an act of terror committed by the AEUG and the Alexandria started to pursue the Argama, who tries to get away from Side 7 and to the moon. Because the AEUG now planed a major attack on the Federation’s Jaburo base they stopped in Earth orbit where Reccoa Londe left the ship in a shuttle to check the area. During this time the ship also attacked a solar power satellite. Afterwards the Argama docked at colony 30 of Side 1 to show Emma how cruel the Titans act towards the people who reject them. During this stop Kamille also had to battle with Federation ace pilot Lila Milla Rira whom he defeats. Afterwards the Argama finally reached the moon city Amman where it was able to get more material. It’s also here that Char received his new mobile suit, the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki.

During their rest on the moon the higher members of the AEUG met with their sponsors from Anaheim Electronics who wanted to proceed with the attack on Jaburo despite Char’s objections. To strengthen their fleet the AEUG also stole several Federation ships from their drydocks. With their now stronger fleet the Argama flew to Earth to start the attack on Jaburo. During their journey the ship saved the shuttle Temptation, which was transporting refugees from Side 7, from an unknown mobile armor (which later turned out to be the PMX-000 Messala piloted by Paptimus Scirocco, who used this attack to observe the status of the AEUG’s fleet). The shuttle captain Bright Noa, the famous captain of the White Base from the One Year War, joined the AEUG and became the new captain of the Argama. Also Kamille’s friend Fa Yuiry joined the crew of the ship. Afterwards the Argama continued their journey to earth.

• In the movie the Argama doesn’t visit 30 Bunch. Instead Reccoa shows Emma a video from it. Because of this Lila and Kamille don’t have a battle here. Instead they fight during the Jaburo drop operation where Lila is killed.

Attack on Jaburo

On May 11 the attack on Jaburo finally started. The AEUG-fleet dispatched dozens of mobile suits equipped with ballutes to enter the atmosphere but soon their forces were attacked by Titans forces and the Messala piloted by Scirocco. However the AEUG forces were successfully able to enter the atmosphere and arrive in the sky over Jaburo. A small battle between the AEUG suits and the army of the Titans from space and the Federation forces from Jaburo followed. However because the Jaburo base was only defended by old and outdated mobile suits and fighters the AEUG soon realized that something is wrong. They were finally able to enter the cave system of the base where they also met with minimal resistance and it is revealed that all Titans have left the base and that a nuclear bomb is buried deep under the base. Because of this the AEUG forces stole the Garuda-class airplane Audhumla where they load the captured Federation soldiers and their own forces onto and afterwards they left the base. During their escape Kamille was able to rescue Reccoa who was imprisoned in the base together with former White Base member Kai Shiden. Soon after the Audhumla left the base the nuclear bomb exploded and destroyed the base together with all forces which were still there. Kai Shiden was one of the supporting characters in the classic anime TV series Mobile Suit Gundam. ...

Although the Jaburo base is destroyed this battle ended in a loss for the AEUG because they weren’t able to hurt the Titan’s strength and also because the AEUG’s best pilots now were forced to stay on Earth. However the Audhumla was soon afterwards contacted by their allies on the planet, the Karaba, to meet up with them.

Time on Earth

After this contact the Audhumla took up Karaba leader and former White Base member Hayato Kobayashi, who told the AEUG forces on the plane that they have a possibility to bring their pilots back into space. However soon afterwards the Audhumla was attacked by the Titans and it’s during this battle that the AEUG is confronted with the new transformable mobile armors of the Titans, first the ORX-005 Gaplant piloted by Cyber-Newtype Rosamia Badam and then the NRX-044 Asshimar piloted by Buran Blutarch. During this battle the Audhumla met up with Amuro Ray and Katz Kobayashi. Afterwards the Audhumla landed on the Kennedy spaceport where the AEUG pilots left for space. However they left their mobile suits on Earth to give them Karaba more fighting power and also Kamille stayed with the terrestrial resistance.

After the launch the Audhumla departed for New Hong Kong, where Kamille met Cyber-Newtype Four Murasame and the two fall in love. However Four is then chosen as the pilot of the giant MRX-009 Psyco Gundam which whom she is forced to attack the city. Kamille fought against her but then Four helped him go back into space. During this events Four is presumable killed in an explosion but she survives. Back in space Kamille is confronted with the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam a new advanced mobile suit built after his specifications. Because of this the boy becomes the pilot of the new suit.

Operation Apollo

While the major members of the AEUG operated on Earth, the Titans strengthened the position in space. The Republic of Zeon sided with the Titans and loaned them their asteroid fortress A Baoa Qu, which the Titans moved to Luna II. Together with the colony Gryps they formed the Gate of Zedan which became their new headquarter. Their former headquarter, Gryps, was split in half and one part was transformed into a new colony laser. Also Paptimus Scirocco became a member of the Titans and pledged his loyalty to Jamitov Hymem. However in truth he was working on his own plans of becoming more powerful.

On August 10 a Titans fleet under the command of Scirocco and with assistance from the Republic of Zeon started Operation Apollo and occupied the lunar city Von Braun. With this plan the Titans wanted to further strengthen their position and although the AEUG was able to drive them away from the city the Federation senate was impressed and six days later they placed the entire Federation Forces under the command of the Titans. On August 17 AEUG leader Blex Forra was assassinated and Char became the new leader of the AEUG.

In the next days and month the Titans attacked several colonies and moon cities with methods which were banned under the Antarctic Treaty. On August 24 they attempted to drop a colony on the lunar city Granada and one month later they attacked Colony 25 of Side 2 with poison gas. However both operations end in a failure.

Arrival of Axis

After their 20 months long journey the asteroid base Axis, which held a great part of the former Principality of Zeon members, finally arrived in the Earth sphere. Because of its great military strength Axis would be a powerful player in the Gryps Conflict and thus not only the AEUG but also the part of the Titans which was under control of Scirocco wanted to ally itself with the former Principality members. The AEUG was the first party which got an audience with the leader of Axis, the eight-year old Mineva Lao Zabi, who reveals that Char Aznable was sent to Earth as an undercover agent. However Char realised that Mineva is not more than a puppet for Haman Karn, who is the true leader of Axis and when he confronted her about this he destroyed any chance of an alliance between the AEUG and Axis. Because of this Axis allied itself with the Titans on the following day. In the TV anime Gundam (Universal Century series) universe, Mineva Lao Zabi is the last surviving member of the Zabi family and hier to the Principality of Zeon; she is the daughter of Dozle Zabi and Zenna Zabi. ...

Attack on Kilimanjaro

At the beginning of November the AEUG was informed that the Karaba plans an attack on the Titans base at Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. The AEUG agrees to help them by attacking from earth orbit. However during this attack Kamille and Char accidentally fell on earth where they joined the Karaba. During this time Kamille again met Four but she was soon killed by Titan pilot Jerid Messa. However the Karaba was able to destroy the Titans base on November 3rd, giving the resistance forces their first big victory.

On November 16 Char, Kamille and the Karaba seized control over the Federation Assembly in Dakar, where Char revealed his true identity and denounced the Titans before the whole world. His speech was strengthened by the fact that the Titans were fighting above the city. Because of this the Federation and the Earthnoids withdrew their help for the Titans and the group became isolated. Titan founder Jamitov Hymem was forced to leave Earth and he departed for the Gate of Zedan.

The Colony Laser

After the Titans became isolated they started cruel attacks on the space colonies. On December 7 they use the colony laser to destroy 18 Bunch of Side 2. One week later colony 21 of the same side was attacked with poison gas which killed the entire population. When it was revealed that the colony laser’s next target is the headquarter of Anaheim Electronics on the moon, the sponsors of the AEUG decided to make a deal with Haman Karn. They promised her Side 3 if she would destroy the colony laser and Haman agreed. On January 18, UC 0088, Haman used their asteroid Axis to ram the much smaller Gate of Zedan (A Baoa Qu) which destroyed the Titan’s headquarter and also a great part of their forces. Afterwards the Axis forces captured the colony laser for themselves and Axis itself was set on a collision course with the moon city Granada.

One week after this disastrous events the negotiations between Axis and the Titans broke down. Paptimus Scirocco used these events to kill Jamitov Hymem and blamed it on Haman. Also Bask Om was killed by Reccoa Londe who now sided with Scirocco. With both leaders of the Titans dead, Scirocco became the new leader of the Titans.

Operation Maelstrom and fall of the Titans

With the colony laser now in the hands of Axis and the asteroid fortress itself on a collision course with Granada the AEUG started Operation Maelstrom (this name was chosen because the AEUG-ships continually circle the Axis fleet and fired into the center, which creates the impression of a giant whirlpool) to capture the colony laser from the renegade Zeon forces. They were successful and they were able to use it to change the course of the giant asteroid before it would have crashed on the moon city.

Over two weeks later on February 20 the forces of the AEUG, the remaining Titans under control of Scirocco and Axis met in a fleet battle around the colony laser. Scirocco tried to disable the laser before it would be able to destroy the remaining Titans but he is confronted by Kamille and the two have a final battle. During this fight Kamille was able to destroy Scirocco’s powerful mobile suit PMX-003 The O. However before he died Scirocco was able to use a mental attack which crippled Kamille’s mind. In the meantime Char confronted Haman who was piloting the powerful AMX-004 Qubeley but his Hyaku Shiki was badly damaged and Char himself got missing in action. PMX-003 The O PMX-003 The O is a fictional mobile suit from the anime series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. ... The Qubeley is a fictional machine from the Universal Century timeline of the anime Gundam metaseries. ...

During the battle between the three forces the Axis fleet pulled out of it to prepare for the invasion of Earth. On the other hands the remaining Titans were soon all in the fire range of the colony laser and Bright used this chance to destroy the remaining Titans. The colony laser is destroyed afterwards.

• In the movie Scirocco doesn't cripple Kamille's mind.

Aftermath

With the destruction of the Titans the Earth Federation was severely weakened. AEUG also lost a majority of its forces during the final battle and many of its ace pilots like Char Aznable and Kamille Bidan. The most powerful party is now Axis and they used this advantage to start a new war against Earth. This led to the First Neo-Zeon War which started shortly after the end of the Gryps Conflict, which is the story of Gundam Double Zeta.
