**Newtypes** are a race of humans that have evolved in space, free from the confines of Earth's gravity and developed special powers.

## Physiology

Newtypes are identical to humans except they evolved special abilities. Newtypes have an extremely high degree of focus and spatial awareness, almost a sixth sense. They are capable of empathically detecting other Newtypes and are sensitive to the hostile intentions directed at them by others, allowing them to uncannily react to their opponents even before the offender carries out the intended action. Some Newtypes also exhibit telepathic abilities or use psychokinesis. There are even those that developed their own abilities. Such as Kamille Bidan, the pilot of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam was able to channel sheer emotional pressure for summoning the spirits of his dead friends to boost his unit's power for a brief but devastating attack.

In truth, Newtypes don't exactly have psychic powers. But rather their abilities are similar to The Force from Star Wars.

## Pre-Apocalypse

When they were introduced into the psyche multiverse, Newtypes escaped from the original Gundam universes so they won't be used as cannon fodder for greedy politicians and violent militarists as well as escaping Oldtypes that fear them. They also come into contact with the Innovators, the X-Rounders, Coordinators and other enhanced humans from various Gundam series. They headed out into the vast unknown until they reached a solar system that has nothing but frozen balls of ice with no magnetospheres or atmospheres. There is also a multitude of asteroids comprised of metals, minerals, and ice. They all use these new materials to create space colonies with artificial gravity.

For the past 10 years, they lived in peace as they developed many forms of technology. However, the Zeon Principality starting showing up as they tried to seize control and enslave to force to fight in whatever battles they desire. This caused the Zeon-Newtype War to spark. The forces of Zeon had the numbers, but not the skills and foresight as the Newtypes and their fellow species. The war is now reduced to nothing more than a stalemate and the Zeon-Newtype War became the Zeon-Newtype Cold War after a year of fighting.

## Post Apocalypse

When the apocalypse came, many ark ships made their way to the real universe in order to escape and hide from the Zeon Principality. A few made their way to Earth and save many people with their Gundams and other mobile suits. Some of their colonies ended up in various other solar systems in the Milky Way in the real universe, unable to make contact with each other.

When Phase II came, more of the artificial colonies started to arrive in various solar systems in different galaxies that also appeared in the real universe. Some were lucky and landed in more friendlier interstellar governments. Others were drafted en mass by more militant governments. Two colonies, along with the Newtypes, were welcomed in the United Confederacy of Exiles with their colonies declared sovereign nations. Fifteen in the Sol System also became part of the United Nations & Creations and were given full autonomy as well as being allies in a defense agreement.
