It is currently year 75 of the Cosmic Era. After two full scale wars, everyone believed there would be a long time of peace to follow. Unfortunately it wasn't so, as an organization called Librarian Works attacked both ZAFT and Earth Alliance bases around the world, created even greater damage before being defeated. As if this wasn't enough, the survivors of LOGOS in OMNI Enforcer retreated into the debris belt with a considerable amount of military strength. To mirror, a vast amount of ZAFT personnel who fought in both Bloody Valentines Wars defected to form their own faction, true to the late Patrick Zala's ideology and determined to continue with the war. After all of this, the PLANTS and Earth Alliance came together with Orb to create a pact to deter the threat of these new factions.
Now in December, Orb plans the launch of their latest model of battleships, the Fujin class named after the Lion of Orb, Uzumi Nara Athha. Deploying as well are the newest mobile suits developed by Morgenroete Inc., the MBF-M3 Taeru incorporating technology derived from the previous war's most famous mobile suits. However, the two independent factions, determined to continue conflict through the Earth sphere, have separate plans to interrupt the celebration. The Ghosts of Cosmos have decided on a stealth and corrupt approach, influencing orb members to redirect the newest models' deployment. The simply named Zala Loyalists have decided on a more direct method for their acquisition of Orb's newest mobile suit...
((I don't own any of these designs, I didn't draw them, nor do I take credit for them. I only changed the colorings and sensors on the Taeru, Strike Saber, and CORTZ, with minor picture effects to various images. If you own these images and do not wish for me to use them, please contact me(Phoenix347) personally and immediately. If anyone has any questions on the storyline, or would like to point out any key events that should be mentioned, feel free to point it out in the public channel or pm me biggrin ))

Factions & Mobile suits -NOTICE- All factions and movile suit designs are just kept up to the current date of the RP. They may be changed at any time whenever new equipment is created or equipped. Please check the Encyclopedia Mechanica for the latest additions.
Primary nation of this RP. A nation of peace and stands by its motto; "Orb will not attack another nation, will not allow another nation to attack them, and will not intervene in the conflicts of other nations.". It is the home of many coordinators and naturals alike. Primary mobile suits are the Murasame, followed by M1 Astray. Characters: Haru Hazuko, Ryuu Taiki, Natalie C. Autumn, Karen Katami, Sammy Hikaru
The collection of superstates on Earth, it fought against ZAFT in both wars, and was collectively against coordinators because of the influence of Blue Cosmos. After Logos was targeted near the end of the second war, its primary political structure was weakened along with its military might after the Ghost of Cosmos declared themselves. It is the home of mostly coordinators, and its primary mobile suits are the Strike Dagger L, followed by the Windam. Characters: President Brenda Parks,
The collection of colonies known as the PLANTS created ZAFT as their military. During the second Bloody Valentines war, their military strength was cut down by the Orb-EA alliance, bringing them to about the same strength of the Earth Alliance. When the Zala Loyalists left, multiple Laurasia class ships and mobile suit designs were taken but few of the standard units. The majority of the population are coordinators, but due to low births, arrange marriages are common. Its primary mobile suits are the ZAKU, followed by the Gouf Ignited. Characters: Chairman Lacus Clyne
_____Ghosts of Cosmos
A recently created group following the ideals of Blue Cosmos/Logos, they despise every coordinator's existence and must be exterminated "For the preservation of our blue and pure world". Made of Naturals and the occasional biological CPU, their primary mobile suits are the Strike Saber, and Slaughter Dagger. Characters:
_____Zala Loyalists
Veterans of the Bloody Valentines wars who believed the plants should have completely destroyed the Earth Alliance and all naturals. They believe that all naturals must be exterminated for the sake of all coordinators. Made of only coordinators, they pilot mainly GINN or the recent CORTZ mobile suits. Characters: Ryoko Asukara
_____Terminal
A faction not allied directly with any of the major powers, Terminal had an information network that was the most extensive in the system. After the Second Bloody Valentines war came to a conclusion with the treaty signings, several key members left for other factions and Terminal lost much of its influence and power. As a result, its members divided themselves and returned to their respective factions. Even with the events between the Second Bloody Valentines war and the Uzumi Nara's launch, they remain divided but keep within relative contact.
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny)
Trivia: Originally I was planning for an alternate bloody valentines war, but when the idea changed to an orb ship and new mobile suits, I had to find something good enough for Orb. The colors were difficult to switch out but I got it as close to Orb's space mobile suits (M1A Astray and Ootsukigata) as I could. The Voiture Lumiere system was added really late in the concept phase as a reason for it to be a powerful mobile suit. Needless to say, this unit will be an interesting and powerful 'grunt'.
Trivia: So this was pretty much in competition with the Huckebein as the new orb suit, but when I asked for an opinion from a friend, they said it looked more like a dagger unit. Its colors also closely resemble the slaugherdagger units used by Phantom Pain. The heat tonfas were changed to allow them a means of breaking through beam-coated shields.
_____ZGMF-547 CORTZ
User; Zala Loyalists Armaments;
-2x76mm Vulcans (chest mounted) -"Galleon" High-energy beam cannon -2xMulti-launcher (On left and/or right forearms) -2xBeam sabers (Stored in legs)
Trivia: I decided on this for the coordinator extremists because it resembles some of the GINN concept designs, I also think the larger beam weapon compliments the attitude the ZL will be showing later on. The model number is a reference to the year Cortez died, who is also the suit is named after. I thought about allowing the Galleon to fire physical rounds as well, but rejected it in light of SEED's love of beams and the multi-launcher.
Summary: Following the attacks by Librarian Works, the three greatest military powers of the world were all weakened to various degrees. To restore their defense, particularly in space, the government of Orb contracted Morgenroete Inc. to create a new ship and mobile suit force. Taking the experiences of the two wars into account, the new ship was almost identical in armament to the Archangel, while also incorporating their own success of the Izumo class battleship. For the mobile suit they created the Taeru, and incorporated the Voiture Lumiere propulsion system for increased acceleration when activated, but doesn't produce the after-images. The weapons of the Taeru are otherwise standard; a beam rifle, a shield, two beam sabers and CIWS guns located in the head. An unspoken product of Project H however, were 4 gundam units, created in the utmost of secrecy by Morgenroete in fear of hijacking, much like the ones that occurred with the G project and Second Stage series. Taking an approach similar to the prototype Astray units, they further prevented such a catastrophe, the batteries of the units were always removed unless testing was underway, and only the Fujin class has the proper battery exchange and recharging equipment for the gundams. Unlike the two previous gundam projects, these suits were designed to perform a specific role as a team designated as AKSR (Pronounced Akser).
Ships: _____Fujin-Class Uzumi Nara
-General Characteristics- Manufacturer; Morgenroete Inc. Length; 460 Meters Ship Accommodations; Bridge, Food & Quarters, Sickbay MS Hangars;1 (Capacity: 12 mobile suits) MS Catapults; 1 Armor; Laminated Armor -Propulsion-
5x Thermonuclear Pulse Thruster 8x Small Thermonuclear Pulse Thruster
-2x"Lohengrin" Single Positron Blaster Gun (Mounted on sides) -2x"Gottfried" Mk 74 240cm Dual High-energy Beam Gun (Mounted top and bottom) -20 x "Igelstellung" 60mm Automatic Multi-barrel CIWS (Mounted throughout the hull for maximum coverage) -2x "Valiant Mk.8" 110cm Linear Cannon (Mounted on both sides of the unit near the rear) -12x Multi-purpose Missile Launchers (Located on top of the ship near the bridge, can load multiple missile types)
-Features-
- Linear Catapult -Project H battery recharge and exchange equipment ---Designed for the sole purpose of keeping the Gundams their own, this system ensures that only the Uzumi can keep the Gundams operating. -Module Design ---Following the design of the Izumo class, the Uzumi can accept modules in certain places of the warship, but is not compatible with all of the Izumo's parts. -Receding Bridge ---Influenced by the Minerva's lowering bridge, when the ship enters combat the bridge receeds back inside of the helm, while metal plates move over the reinforced glass on both the inside and outer hull. This is to ensure that even if something as powerful as a lohengrin is fired directly at it, the bridge itself would not be compromised or damaged. Aside from such, the bridge layout is similar to the Archangel and Izumo-class. -Hover System ---While not intended for use on Earth, the ship does feature a system to keep the ship hovering over ground should it accidentally fall into Earth's gravity well. This system would just prevent the ship from crashing and is in no way intended to provide enough lift for flight.
Details: This ship was designed to be the most advanced battleship in Orb's space forces. The ship was influenced by the Archangel, Izumo and Eternal for its combat roles, while the design was mostly taken from the Izumo-class. Named after the late Uzumi Nara Athha, the Lion of Orb, it was to defend the colonies and the Ame-no-Mihashira orbital station of the Orb Union. The most important feature of this ship is not only the capability to maintain the new Taeru mobile suits, but also Morgenroete's new secret Gundams, the Atama, Kyori, Sasu and Ryoko. While not intended to, the Uzumi can attach a flight unit using the modular design and can operate easily on Earth -Crew- -Captain- Commander Haru Hazuko -XO, Ship Operations- Lieutenant Natalie C. Autumn -XO, Mobile Suit Command- Lieutenant Ryuu Taiki -Fire Control- Ensign Sammy Hikaru -Communications- Ensign Karen Katami
Mobile Suits: _____MBF-M3 Taeru
Type: Mass Production General-Purpose Mobile Suit Pilots: Armaments;
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny)
Details: The new mass production mobile suit created to keep up with advancing technology utilized by the GOC and ZL, it is intended to be Orb's next mainstay mobile suit. 20 were created by the end of the Uzumi Nara's construction.
_____ORB-10 Atama
Type: General-Purpose Commander Mobile Suit Pilot: Armaments;
-2x12.5mm Vulcans (head mounted) -Beam Rifle -Shield (Copied from the Freedom, the shield features Laminated Armor) -2x Beam Saber (stored in wing binders while not in use)
Features;
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny) -DRAGOON system (Dragoons not present) -Variable Phase Shift Armor ---An improved version of Phase Shift Armor, VPS armor is capable of automatically changing its strength, as well as color and power consumption in the field. -Retina Confirmation System --- Another measure to prevent theft, this system ensures only the first pilot to activate the unit with the proper activation code can operate the Gundam. Unfortunately, the entire operating system would need to be rewritten by Morgenroete for another pilot to operate it.
Details: The first, and designated commander unit of the four gundams, the unit was given a back similar to the Destiny Gundam, and a Voiture Lumiere to compliment. Aside from its standard compliment, it was also designed with a DRAGOON system, but it is not known why the unit and DRAGOONS were stored separately. The DRAGOON system is also locked from the unit's controls by Morgenroete's decision.
_____ORB-11 Kyori
Type: Long-range Artillery Mobile Suit Pilot: Armaments;
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny) -Variable Phase Shift Armor ---An improved version of Phase Shift Armor, VPS armor is capable of automatically changing its strength, as well as color and power consumption in the field. -Retina Confirmation System --- Another measure to prevent theft, this system ensures only the first pilot to activate the unit with the proper activation code can operate the Gundam. Unfortunately, the entire operating system would need to be rewitten by Morgenroete for another pilot to operate it.
Details: The second unit was designated as an artillery mobile suits, similar to the GAT-X103 Buster of the first war. The ideal role for this unit was to dwindle down the number of enemy mobile suits moving towards friendly forces. It would first intercept with its High-energy variable beam canon before using its micro-missiles once they enter normal combat range. While it was equipped with two beam sabers, it was not expected to enter close-quarters combat at all.
_____ORB-12 Sasu
Type: High-mobility Close-Quarters Combat Mobile Suit Pilot: Armaments;
-2x12.5 vulcans -2x Low-energy Retractable Beam Gun (Located beneath each forearm) -2x Large Anti-mobile suit sword (Armure Lumiere projected over cutting blades) -4x Beam Saber (Stored in legs and on the waist)
Features;
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny) -Enhanced Thruster pods -Variable Phase Shift Armor ---An improved version of Phase Shift Armor, VPS armor is capable of automatically changing its strength, as well as color and power consumption in the field. -Retina Confirmation System --- Another measure to prevent theft, this system ensures only the first pilot to activate the unit with the proper activation code can operate the Gundam. Unfortunately, the entire operating system would need to be rewritten by Morgenroete for another pilot to operate it.
Details: Designed as the AKSR team's melee combat unit, it was given little in the way of ranged armaments. The suit's most impressive features are the large swords with Armure Lumiere for cutting, and the improved thrusters installed throughout the unit. Its role was to intercept any unit that approached the team and eliminate them accordingly. (Yes, I see the little GN-claw below the thrusters, but I don't think it would fit the unit so, it's just a closing thruster...)
_____ORB-13 Ryoko
Type: High-Speed Defense Mobile Suit Pilot: Armaments;
-4x12.5mm vulcans -Pincer Rocket Anchor (Mounted on right forearm, retractable) ----2xBeam Saber (Mounted in each claw) -1xBeam Rifle -2x Armor Schneider Saw Disc (Mounted on both forearms) -1xArmure Lumiere Shield System (mounted on left forearm)
Features;
-Cockpit -Voiture Lumiere propulsion system (Refined variant from the Destiny) ---The Voiture Lumiere present on the Ryoko is weaker than the other units, and only used when they are traveling for long ranges and not in combat. The extra thrusters installed on the back as a replacement make the unit faster than its brethren. -Pincer Rocket Anchor System ---Similar to the Blitz's Piercer Lock "Gleipnir", this system is equiped with a claw on the front to use as an anchor or claw, while equiped with rockets to launch it out, and a beam-coated cable to pull it back. There is a beam saber built into both 'claws' of the system. -Armure Lumiere Shield System ---Able to deploy a shield similar to the one used on the Hyperion Gundam, this shield is capable of sustained use without increased energy consumption. It can generate a shield around the wheel, or project a dish-shaped shield in the center capable of reflecting beam weapons. -Variable Phase Shift Armor ---An improved version of Phase Shift Armor, VPS armor is capable of automatically changing its strength, as well as color and power consumption in the field. -Retina Confirmation System --- Another measure to prevent theft, this system ensures only the first pilot to activate the unit with the proper activation code can operate the Gundam. Unfortunately, the entire operating system would need to be rewritten by Morgenroete for another pilot to operate it.
Details: The final unit of the H Project mobile suits and the one to take the longes to complete, is the Ryoko. Prioritized as the team's shield, this unit was given weapons that would allow it to intercept any mobile suit getting close to its allies, but unlike the Sasu, it would forcibly move the suit away. Although it can use a beam rifle, its primary purpose was to defend each of the gundams while they combat the enemy. Its Voiture Lumiere system is weaker than the other suits since the unit needs to move quickly,while the Voiture Lumiere works by acceleration.
Side Trivia: + The GUNDAM acronym of Orb's units is General Unitary Neutral Defense Accommodation Module + Each of the Project H mobile suits were designated after a word linked to their purpose. Taeru= Endure, Atama= Head, Kyori= Range, Sasu= Stab, Ryoko= Guard. + Unlike the previous two Gundam series (OMNI to create mobile suits to combat ZAFT's, and the Second Stage series to cope with the Junius 7 treaty) the Project H gundams were developed after their mass-produced brethren, and created to specifically support the mass produced units rather than conquer the battlefield like units such as the Freedom. + This is the first series of gundam in the cosmic era that follow a specific color scheme, rather than having each unit colored differently.

It was late in December, more than a year and a half since the last war. To regain their military might after the terrorist attacks of Librarian Works and reaffirm the relations with ZAFT and the Earth Federation, the Orb officials have voted to invite men and women from both factions to their new ship's launch celebration. They hoped that while this move can improve the relations of the two nations, Orb can prevent itself from seeming boastful. As a prevention to a catalyst of another war, they required that no weapons from any nation be brought on board, and that all military vessels are to remain a certain distance from the dockyard.
Known only to a small few, a group intent on destroying all Coordinators had infiltrated the Orb military with help from sympathizers in Orb, and planned a major theft. Their opposition, a group focused on ending all Naturals for the sake of Coordinators, created their own plan with the same objective plus one other unknown. With the final preparations of the celebration being set up in a gravity-stable room overlooking the ship, the major faction shuttles from Orb, Zaft and theEarth Alliance arrived from a nearby group of Orb colonies to be met by several officers and crew of the Uzumi Nara...
||Commander Hazuko, Captain of the Uzumi Nara|| ||Location; Shipyard corridors|| ||With; Lieutenant Taiki ]|| ||Episode Opening Song|| ||OOC; Separating the commander and lieutenant for later on||
The Commander finished signing all the documents he needed to before the Orb officials arrived. Only one file remained untouched, the one he promised to keep hidden until the completion of the units. Now, they only needed their pilots, the list of which came from the current crew of the Uzumi, but were not aware of the other Project H units. He lit a cigarette and breathed a few puffs before the door chimed, with a question to enter. "Permission granted." It was the Lieutenant, Ryuu Taiki. Taken under his command in the first Bloody Valentines war, he was a capable officer, and not so well with a mobile suit. It only took one mission for him to request only crew duties. He held up another file. "Primary list for arrivals today."
The plan was to allow both ZAFT and OMNI officials to attend the launching as well, in order to ease the tensions between the two. Even after the second war they were reluctant to deal with one another. It didn't help with the Cosmos and Zala groups splitting of and declaring their own wars on the factions. the Commander rose from the chair when he replied to Ryuu. "Let's go, the shuttles should be arriving any minute now." He picked up both files as he floated past the Lieutenant and into the corridor.
Name: Haru Hazuko Genetic Type: Natural Rank: Commander Position: Uzumi Nara Captain Background & Personality: A true commander of Orb, Haru Hazuko has been a loyal Orb soldier since he could sign up. Before the advent of the M1 Astray, he was proud of the Orb's military might and felt it could defend against ZAFT or the Earth Forces without mobile suits. When the invasion of Orb happened, he was proven wrong and focused on generating his own anti-mobile suits tactics. Some of which were successful, and he was promoted to Commander by the end of the second war. He was selected as the Orb military's first choice to captain the Fujin, and he recommended his long-time crewmember Ryuu Taiki to transfer onto the ship as well. With Haru's experience, the recommendation was accepted.
Unlike his subordinate, Haru is a very serious and strict military commander. While he knows about the cost of war, he also believes war is sometimes a necessary evil. He holds a dislike for the Earth Alliance and ZAFT after each invasion on the Orb homeland. He also smokes often and has an occasional drink for celebrations. With his knowledge of the previous major gundam projects, he was the biggest supporter and influence on Project H(inode), and remained paranoid all the way to the launch ceremony. Appearance:
||Lieutenant Ryuu Taiki, XO of the Uzumi Nara|| ||Location; Shipyard corridors|| ||With; Commander Hazuko|| ||Episode Opening Song|| ||OOC; Sorry for the delay again!||
It had been quite a while since shuttles containing only personnel arrived at the dockyard, and the first time that one from each of the superpowers arrived at one location since the treaty signings. Ryuu Taiki was thinking on that fact as he drifted down the hallway with the Captain of the Uzumi, Commander Hazuko ahead, smoking another cigarette even though it wasn't allowed. Typical of him. They approached the elevator to take them down to the shuttle docking bay just as the three separate shuttles approached. The Ootsukigata and M1A Astrays ensured they reached the bay before returning to the 'peace line' as Hazuko called it. It was already risky getting Zaft and EA officials in the same room after the war, even if they were under peace.
As they moved downward and into gravity, Ryuu couldn't help but speak up: "Captain, do you know everyone who is arriving?". "Not all, I wasn't given the entire list, since they have a choice on who to bring. I only hope we can get along without any incidents." Hazuko replied before replacing the cigarette. They watched in silence as those three craft made their final approach, before the view was cut short by metal. The elevator chimed, and before the lucky duo made their way into the more cozy lobby setting to meet their guests, the Captain made sure to put out and dispose of his cigarette.
Name: Ryuu Taiki (23) Genetic Type: Coordinator Rank: Lieutenant Position: Uzumi Nara XO Background & Personality: Ryuu was an orphan at the age of 7, and since his parents customized his appearance , he wasn't adopted for a few years. As a Coordinator, he was advanced in schooling, but was ridiculed by natural children and their parents who condoned coordinators. He joined the military of Orb sometime after the events of Bloody Valentine in fear of Orb's inclusion as the war dragged on. While he was acceptable as an Astray pilot, his suit was destroyed on the first day of fighting and he choose to become a crewmen instead. Serving with a man named Hazuko, he was able to survive the first and second Bloody Valentine wars. He gained the rank of Lieutenant with Hazuko's personal request for him to be his XO on the Uzumi Nara.
Ryuu believes deeply in Orb's motto, but also thinks if someone has the ability to help others, they should whether it involves them or not. He has slight PTSD after his mobile suit experience and gets shaky when he enters a mobile suit cockpit. He also holds a grudge against Blue Cosmos for his parent's death. He often listens to music to calm himself down, or concentrate. Appearance:
Out of all the commotion and stress of the Uzumi Nara Ceremonial Launch. Executive Officer Autumn briefly glanced outside the Bridge window. With a sigh coming from her mouth, Natalie reaffirmed herself.
Natalie swiftly looked around the newly state-of-the-art Bridge of the Uzumi Nara. Looking at communications officer Karen Kitami. "Ensign Kitami, Status on the visiting shuttles?"

With great hope, Members from the Plant homeland arrive at the Uzumi Nara shipyard facillities. At the docking bay, The Silverwind's from the Plant homeland began to unload important Officials, including Chairwomen Clyne. One foot out, The notorious young lady couldn't help but glance at the Uzumi Nara, only to have flashbacks of her friends and comrades of the previous wars.

She is a Coordinator whose career as an idol singer has brought her enormous popularity in the PLANTs. After the death of Chairman Durandal, Lacus Clyne is invited back to the PLANTs to serve as a mediator between the PLANTs and the other nations. At the end of Gundam SEED Destiny "Final Plus", she is shown walking towards the PLANT Supreme Council. Lacus Clyne becomes Chairwoman of the PLANT Supreme Council. Appearance:

A few of the attending crew were moving into place, but there were no major problems to be seen. There was just a skeleton crew on board the Uzumi Nara, wrapping up and preparing for the launch under Natalie C. Autumn. She was a veteran just like Ryuu with enough experience to be trusted as the other XO of the Uzumi. Originally it was her that was going to be the only XO, but Hazuko's recommendation and the unexpectedly large operation requirements allowed for two XOs.
Once he was in a position to meet whichever of the groups arrived first, he handed off the files he had to the Lieutenant. "Check off the main attendants and confirm their guests. Also, keep the other folder safe for now. I'll need to go over it with you and Natalie after the Orb politicians." Only Hazuko knew completely about the H project's gundams, those who promoted the project in office only knew of the Fujin and Taeru, while the gundams were listed as special equipment. After that, he stood ready to meet whichever group appeared, and by the sound of it he was going to meet Ryuu's fellow coordinators first.
