Turn A Gundam - Overview

Overview

Turn A Gundam takes place in the year Correct Century 2345 (正暦2345年, Seireki Nisen Sanbyaku Yonjū Go Nen?, CC 2345), in a different calendar system than the previous Gundam projects. Seireki is a wordplay on the Japanese term for the Common Era (CE) Western calendar system (西暦; pronounced Seireki). The English acronym CC is Correct Century (コレクトセンチュリー?) in the official Japanese Turn A guide book and Correct Century in the English 2001 Correct Century A Bibliographical Study of "Black History" as the black paged introduction of Gundam Officials. The population of the Earth is, at the beginning of the series, limited to simple, steam-driven technology after past cataclysms; the Moon is populated by the Moonrace, humans who left Earth after a great war long ago to reside in technologically advanced lunar colonies until such time as they deemed the Earth suitable to return to.
