Setsuna F (Fanron) Seiei:
A Gundam Meister for Celestial Being. He grew up in the war torn
middle east and was discovered by Celestial Being at the age of 14
to have the special potential as a pilot. He doesn't speak much and
comes off as a cool young man. He is now 16 years old.
Celestial Being:
The mysterious organization that strives to end all wars and change
the world with only 4 Mobile Suits. Aside from the aim to put an
end to all warfare, they have no ties to any government, is
strictly non-profit and subscribes to no particular ideology.
MS-GUNDAM:
Super weapons created independantly by Celestial Being, they are a
second-generation technology compared to anything the two
superpowers in the world have to offer. They are machines made to
take out entire armies individually.
Solar Generator:
A top secret technology being researched, this is the common name
for the Energy source GN Drive. When mass is destroyed without the
discharge of gun particles, a great amount of positron and photon
are generated. Smaller units have also been designed, and the
special advantage is the non-generation of excess heat. The GUNDAM
units are powered with this technology.
GN Particles:
A sort of mutation neutrion discovered by chance, it is the origin
of the research behind the GN Drive. When the GN Drive is in
operation, these particles are automatically generated. When
they're in the air they have the special property of shutting down
all radar systems completely.
The director Mizushima also makes a few comments about the
direction the show is taking. Apparently the decision to set the
show in 2307 AD is to force a sense of realism into the series and
a stronger connection to our real world. Since it follows the same
timeline as ours, the worldview and settings will be more similar
to the real world than that of a standard Gundam series, which is a
new direction they're aiming for. There also appears to be two
major superpower factions in the world: The Union (America leading
Japan, Canada and Australia) and People's Reform Federation (that's
the closest I can translate lvA, and it's comprised of China,
Russia and India).
More information as it comes in...
Edit: Also, from the summary of the story, it doesn't appear that
there are any colonies or equavilants in the story. Basically after
mankind discovered the new solar based power source, the two
superpowers continued to fight on and on, until the organization
Celestial Being decided to attempt to stop it all with
Gundams....
