The Junius Treaty was signed in the first half of C.E. 72 at the
place where Junius Seven once stood onboard an Earth Alliance
battleship. There, ZAFT built a monument to the treaty. The details
of the treaty itself state that both sides were to ban the use of
Neutron Jammer Cancellers and the Mirage Colloid. Both sides also
agreed to set a quota restraint on the size of their MS forces.
Despite that, the two continued to research and develop new weapons
due to the lingering bitterness between them. Because of the MS
force limit, an emphasis on quality rather than quantity came
about, leading to more advanced MS.
And this month's Newtype had the following descriptions of Destiny
characters:
Neo Roanoke - An Earth Alliance captain. He commands the special
forces group that Stellar's team belongs to. He's deeply trusted by
subordinates.
Lord Jibril - Blue Cosmos' new leader. Through his power, the
organization has made a comeback in might. He plans the
extermination of Coordinators. Seiyuu: Hideyuki Hori (George Glen
from Gundam SEED, Scwartz + Kyoji from G Gundam)
Notable info from the Q&A portion:
- What happened to Kira?
Kira, Lacus, and Miriallia appear in the OP, but that doesn't
necessarily mean they will appear in the series. (Similar to Amuro
and Char appearing in the ZZ OP).
- Dearka and Yzak?
No comment.
- Characteristics of Luna and Shin?
The relationship between Luna and Shin is more like mother-in-law
and son than sister and brother. For instance, Luna always gets on
about Shin's dress code. Although Shin has a dark past, he doesn't
get down on himself like Athrun.
- About Rey Za Barrel?
He's a leader and roommate of Shin's. Cool and meticulous as
well.
Lastly, DESTINY, GUNDAM, and ZAKU are all acronyms for this series.
