The Truth of One Year War: Gundam : Prologue

In Universal Century, the population of human has exploded, and has proven to be too great for the Earth. As a result, people start to colonize in space, building the gigantic space colonies, known as Sides, to live in, with the governments on Earth forming the Earth Federation. In Universal Century 0068, the Earth Federation’s oppression towards space colonies keep increasing, they forced the space colonies to pay huge taxes, and even refuse to do anything when a pandemic breaks out in the Side that is furthest away from Earth, forcing them to fight the pandemic themselves. Having enough of this, the leader of that Side, Zeon Zum Deikun, is ready to declare independence towards the Federation. However, to Deikun’s unknown, the Federation sent an assassin to secretly poison Deikun’s water, causing him to collapse and died on spot just before he could give the speech of declaring independence. Luckily, Deikun’s right hand, Degwin Zabi’s eldest son, Gihren Zabi, was chosen to be the leader of Zeon, who then named Side 3 as Principality of Zeon. 
However, after the declare of independence, what Earth Federation did to the space colonies is getting worse. They slammed one of their Salamis-Class cruisers into a farming colony of Zeon, killing everyone in it, and a Federation officer got away with destroying a Zeon’s citizen ship even though he did it for fun. Understandably, Gihren was fed up with the Federation, and secretly develops weapons now as Mobile Suits, giant pilotable robots to free Zeon from Earth Federation.
In UC 0078, 31st December, Federation has done the very heinous crime. They sent the Iron Cavalry squad to attack Zeon’s colonies, they keep blasting the Space Colony Munzo, the capital of Zeon with their Salamis-Class cruisers and the Magellan-class battleships, without declaring a war. Gihren was furious about this, and sent their secret new weapons-Zakus, the first military use Mobile Suits to wipe out the Iron Cavalry squad. Gihren, having no choice, is forced to declare war on Earth Federation on the next day.
However, to the surprise of Gihren, the Federation’s general, General Revil, bribed Side 2 and Side 4 and sent them to attack Side 3. However the Gihren’s Mobile Suit force is superior. While Gihren didn’t want to harm any innocent, a stray fire from Zeon’s Musai-Class light cruiser hit a nuke that was prepared by Side 4, causing it to be detonated and Side 4 blew itself up. As for Side 2, the Cima Fleet of the Zeon originally wanted to bump some sleeping gas into Side 2’s colony Island Iffish to make them calmer, but they accidentally bumped nerve gas in it instead, thus accidentally killing everyone in it and cause it to stray from orbit. General Revil then purposely had to fall in Sydney since there is pro-Zeon group in there, completely destroying the city and creating a crater in Australia. However, Australia isn’t the only victim, as Island Iffish spilt into three parts when it was burning in the atmosphere, one part of it fell into the Pacific Ocean, triggering in giant tsunami that rampaged across the seashore area of South East Asia, and another part of it crashed on the North America continent, leading to countless casualties, this together with the famine, pandemic and weather disorder caused by the colony drop, ultimately killed half of the population of the world. To make matter worse, General Revil refused to send rescuers, and blamed this horrible war crime on Zeon.
However, the war has only just began.
