V. JION’S WAR THE THIRD (MONARCHISTS’ DEFEAT).
Although
reduced, monarchist Axis’ troops ain’t won yet,
and Hamaan Khan renames the fortified asteroid as Neo
Jion, keeping on planning about a Princedom’s
re-establishment in Side 3. That’s why
she starts a
propaganda among colonial population in order to get its support
for a new rebellion against the Federation, sending a ship
on each colony.
On March 3 of 88 one of them, the Endora under the command of Mashma Serro, reaches the colony of Shangri-La, in Side 1, where is also the Aghama, needing repairs. Not to get in touch with it, Noah Bright decides to hide the ship in a scraps’ deposit in the hinterland. Meanwhile a new member joins the crew, he’s new pilot Judo Ashita, a newtype recruited in Shangri-La to drive Camille Vidan’s Zeta Gundam. On March 11 the Aghama succeeds in leaving the colony in the direction of La vie en rose, where it arrives on March 19 chased by Endora: here it loads a Gundam ZZ MSZ-010, used at the same time against Pezun’s rebels, by which they destroy the Endora and capture Serro.
On April 12,
provided with a powerful particles cannon, the Aghama
leaves La vie en rose in order to attack Axis, but
it will fail. Meanwhile Hamaan Khan calls her ships back
from their vain propaganda mission in the colonies, planning a
direct assault on Dakar. On June 6 part of her fleet, led
by the flagship Sadaran, begins going down
the Earth and on August 29 the Blue Force
mobile suits brigade, under the command of lieutenant Gremmi
Toto and his prototype NZ-000 Quin Mantha, occupies Dakar.
Aghama soon approaches to the city and sends there its Gundam
Team,
joined by new AEUG/UNT
Spacy GM III
RGM-86R types and Kalaba’s Hyaku Shiki and
Dijeh. Then, after stopping at El Golea
to refuel, it goes on to Dublin, where Federal
Government has temporarily moved. While siege to Dakar
is in a stalemate situation, in space Neo Jion left troops
capture a colony from Side 4 and on October 31, breaking
the Antarctic Treaty of 79, divert it onto Dublin
in order to force Federal Government to negotiate
monarchists’ settling in Side 3. When Aghama arrives
to Ireland the situation has come to a head: the colony
is about to crash down on the city and Government, before
leaving, has signed for Jion’s Republic dissolution, appointing Mineba
Zabi and Hamaan Khan as regents of Neo Jion
Princedom: consequently, on November 14 of 88, Gremmi
Toto’s Blue Force abandons Dakar and
retires in Side 3, joining Neo Jion army.
Anyway, on
November 7 UNT and AEUG have already planned an
attack against Side 3 in order to definitively break off Neo
Jion’s monarchist army, sending the vanguard role to a
brand new federal flagship, heavy cruiser Near Aghama, the crew of which
is entered also by Aghama’s Gundam Team’s
pilots, and Judo Ashita has to organize republican
resistance on Jion.
The allies’ attack gets unexpected help by a sudden civil struggle broken out among Neo Jion Principality’s heads. On December 25, in fact, Gremmi Toto, claiming to be a legitimate descendant of Giren Zabi, mutinies and occupies with his troops the orbiting base of Axis, hurling its detachable section Mouser on Core 3 colony, Hamaan Khan’s and Mineba Zabi’s stronghold. On January 10 of 89 the civil war comes to its fast end with a ferocious battle which UNT/AEUG forces play a decisive part in. They wipe out Gremmi Toto’s fleet and reduce Hamaan Khan’s one to a tiny handful. During the fight Gremmi Toto himself is killed, while Hamaan Khan commits suicide and Mineba Zabi is missing. So, on January 17, Neo Jion Principality is cancelled and republican order is definitively re-established in Side 3 area.
