THE CHARACTERS

Siam Vist :: Someone who is connected with (?) the terrorism which occurred in UC0001. He is also the first-generation family member of the Vist Foundation to succeed thanks to the Laplace's box. Cryogenesis is used, so he is alive in UC0096. He begins to move in order to release Laplace's box.

Cadias Vist :: Siam's grandchild, second-generation family member of the Vist Foundation. Despite being over 60, he still has the mind and body of a fighter, nonetheless he is strong and steadfast. Release of Laplace's Box is placed in his care.

**The Vist Foundation, which had strong influence against Anaheim, has pulled out numerous facilities from the Federation thanks to the Laplace's box.

Next Issue: "Day of the Unicorn"

** NOTATION:: 「ラプラスの箱」　can be translated as "Laplace's box" or "Chest of Laplace".

Until I get my Gundam Ace in the mail tomorrow, this is what I've discovered.

Ricardo Marsenas :: The Earth Federations founder and Prime Minister :



I got my issue today, and it has a rather interesting opening to the story with a quote from L.M.Rilke's "Sonnet to Orpheus."

O this is the creature that does not exist.
They knew nothing and yet without a doubt
—his gait, his posture, his neck, down
to the silent light of his gaze—they had loved.

Indeed, it wasn't real. But because they loved,
it became a pure animal. Always, they gave it space.
And in that space, clear and spare
it raised lightly its head and needed scarcely

to be. They nourished it not with grain,
but with only the possibility that it truly was.
And this gave such strength to the animal

that it grew a horn from its brow. But one horn.
It passed in its whiteness a young maiden—
and appeared in the silver mirror, and in her.

Harutoshi Fukui is asked about the world of Gundam--

Harutoshi Fukui, the author of such works as Shuusen no Loreli and Bokoku no Aegis, which was turned into a movie, is set to pen this new work. So how will he deal with Gundam? The new "Gundam" work mentioned in the past will be revealed in the coming issue of Gundam ACE this winter. A Gundam tale penned by Fukui causes confusion today. What is the theme? Why is Fukui writing a Gundam story? What world will this new Gundam be in? Who is the protagonist? What are the mobile suits? Who is the character designer? Who is the mecha designer? All these questions and more will be answered in the next issue. However, we can tell you one thing. This "Gundam" is sure to be interesting. We hope you anticipate this.

INDUSTRIAL 7

Barnarge Lynx:: A sixteen year old student who goes to one of Anaheim's technical schools on the colony known as "Industrial 7." He's a rather ordinary boy who hasn't experienced war, more specifically what was known as the One Year War. However, thanks to his encounter with Audrey Burns, he will be involved in another catastrophic event that will disrupt the world. He has a part time job collecting space debris with a Petit Mobi (puchi mobi).

Takuya Irei:: A roommate of Banarge. He has aspirations to be a mobile suit test pilot for Anaheim Electronics.

Micott Birch:: Student at a private high school that is adjacent to the Anaheim Electronics Industrial College. Friend of Banarge and Takuya through the plant manager in the third work district via his father (who is the mayor?)

Audrey Burns:: A young noble girl with sapphire blue eyes. 17 years old. She goes to "Industrial 7" with a goal in mind, however upon her meeting of Banarge, her fate has been changed. (Note: I believe she snuck aboard a transport carrier)

Full Frontal:: Mysterious man called the "2nd coming of Char". He pilots a red MS and rallies the remnants of Zeon with his high charisma. Fights against Earth Federation Forces over "the secret" to the foundations of the Universal Century. Contrary to the meaning of his name, he trifles with Barnage and company with enigmatic behavior. Age unknown.

SOTSUDEKI

Zubelora Zinnemann:: Captain of the camouflaged cargo transport "Garencieres" which belongs to the Anti-Federation organization called "Sotsudeki" (『袖付き』)

Gilboa Santo:: A pilot of the Geara Zulu. Age: 30. African (black person is what the term is). Father's third child.

Flaste Scoal:: Garencieres helmsman. Age: 27.

VIST FOUNDATION

Siam Vist:: Born in a small country in the Middle East. His birthplace became home to the Earth Federation's "Space Immigration Plan." He was forced from his land. Shortly thereafter, he became unemployed thanks to his father becoming a separatist. He became involved in underground activities and by chance he became involved in subversive activities against "Lhaplus." Vist Foundation figurehead.

Cardias Vist:: Grandchild of Siam. The second generation proprietor of the Vist Foundation. Despite his age of 60, he doesn't feel it. He was a former fighter pilot with the Earth Federation Space Forces. The role of the "Chest of Lhaplus" is entrusted to him.

He was elected as Prime Minister out of a family bloodline that spread over nearly thirty countries. He dies at the hands of terrorists who blew up his residence at the turn of the Universal Century. It is rumored that the relation of the terrorist events came in part of extreme rightwing influence (within the government) who disliked his liberal policies.

Liddy Marcenas:: A pilot belonging to the Londo Bell assault warship Nahal Argama. Rank of ensign (少尉). Born into a lineage of politicians, she had a strong willingness not to follow in those footsteps and instead enrolled in the military academy (fulfilling her dreams).
