Setting
The Gundam universes all universally lack FTL drive technology and are for the most part confined to the Inner Planets of Sol System.
The general setting of the Gundam universes involves Earth's Lagrange points having been heavily colonized with thousands of space stations, and said colonies are at war with Earth-based nations. For various reasons, these nations have taken to making use of Humaniod Mecha known as Mobile Suits (as well as occasionally non humaniod Mecha) as their primary Armored Fighting Vehicles in space and on the ground.
