Prologue


There were days of wonderment and dreams that lasted,

Far too long

There were times of bitterness

There was emptiness

And days of incomparable sun.

~Carol Davis ?eImages and Illusions?f


It is the year AC 201.

For years since Vice Foreign Minister Darlain established peace on earth and in the colonies, life, in general, was good. The Preventers worked diligently in the colonies and the respective rulers of their countries united in the Earth Sphere Unified Nations. Generally the world was at peace.

Until late last year.

It was in that time that a small group of people, led by Leonard Sincarno, a young lawyer whose father died in the wars 6 years ago, formed the group known as Legacy. There was nothing curious at first and more and more members - people who had lost loved ones in the wars - came forward to join, to offer support to others like themselves.

Then, 6 months later, it began.

It was such a minor thing to ask that no one really paid any attention; even the media didn't report the story. Legacy requested that the World High Council - a legal tribunal working beneath ESUN and chairperson Relena Darlain - on behalf of the peoples of the world and the colonies, pay each member an amount of money as compensation for the lives sacrificed so that there could be peace. It was a tiny amount and at the time Relena Darlain, who had so far supported Legacy, sanctioned the request with the support of the council.

Then, only 4 months after that, Legacy retuned and asked for more; the first amount had not been enough. The current request was substantially larger and would be more taxing on the world's economy but it could not be refused. To do so would be to put a value on the lives of many brave soldiers. Worried, Minister Darlain had the activities of Legacy secretly investigated and discovered that factions of the group had been at work assembling and buying mobile suits - ones far grander and more heavily armored than previous models. Mobile suits were obsolete and almost impossible to come by. To have one otherwise was illegal. But the ties between Legacy and the underground factories in the colonies and on earth were so tenuous they would never have held up in court. Still, it was enough reason for Minister Darlain to deny Legacy's request.

Sincarno was not a quitter though and changed the request to ?emonies to be made to?c?f and here listed the members of Legacy, never making any mention of the group itself. Backed into a legal corner, the World High Council voted against Darlain to have the compensation paid. As Relena Darlain soon discovered, as soon as the money had been paid out, the members of Legacy had kindly donated it back into the organization.

Then 1 week ago, Darlain's fears became real. The Legacy group made their last move, formally submitting their ultimatum it to the World High Council. Should they be unable to grant the final sum of money in compensation (an unbelievably high amount) Legacy would be forced to declare war upon all those able to be held responsible for the loss of life in the wars.

It was the end of peace and the dawning of a new battle?c.
