LC 0150
The AEO returns control of the previously-independent colonies to the mother countries that originally constructed and settled them. These nations then kindle a new colony emigration boom.

Solenus Gravebrood dies. His son Gashakur Gravebrood takes over and leads the colonies that become dissatisfied with AEO control.
LC 0153
Colony leader Gashakur’s policies of demilitarization and non-violence are well-received by many of Earth's nations. His son Efren Gravebrood was born later this year.

Isshin Yaho earns his Ph.D at the age of 24. He specialized on genetics and has taken liking to the work of Dr. De Guzman regarding Cell & Gene Enhancement. He found work in the AEO on that the same year under the supervision of Dr. Rivers.

• The war for peace has ended, but the fight for freedom had just started brewing. Where there is light, there's always shadow. The renegade forces, private armies, Rebellious CHROME or AEO remnants, scattered all around the world still pose as a threat to the tranquility. They've committed all sorts of evil crimes from terrorism, anarchy, to as little petty thievery. They abuse the equal laws of the FUSE and use their arms, mobile suits, and warships to reign over their capitals.
At the moment, the renegades do not impose any real or serious threat against the FUSE. However if they were to band together and rise up against the FUSE, it could mean the start of the 3rd Lunar War.
