Correct Century

Characters, technology, and setting of the "Correct Century" timeline, where Turn A Gundam takes place.

The Correct Century (コレクト・センチュリー, Korekuto Senchurī^?) (aka Seireki (正暦, Seireki^?)) is the fictional timeline of the anime television series ∀ Gundam and its related projects. "Seireki" is a wordplay on the Japanese term for the Common Era (C.E.) Western calendar system, 西暦, which is also pronounced as "Seireki".

Overview

Correct Century is the theoretical result of a merging of the other timelines seen in the Gundam franchise prior to ∀ Gundam. Set in an indeterminate number of years into the far-flung future, Correct Century is a universe in which all technology on Earth and human civilizations in space, except for the Moon, were destroyed - the culmination of mankind's "Dark History". As a result, the technological level on Earth in this timeline is comparable to that of the real world in the early 20th century.

In stark contrast to the backwards nature of Earthlings is the almost utopian society of the Moonrace, a futuristic society which has changed the barren landscape of the moon into a paradise. The Moonrace is the only group which has advanced to the point of having their own Mobile Suits; the people of Earth only find Mobile Suits as relics of the far-flung past in archaeological digs, such as the MS-06 Borjarnon and the titular SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam.

Correct Century hints several times at the fact its past is the culmination of events from every previous Gundam series; however, the full truth is sealed away in the chronicles of the Dark History, which is hidden on the moon, with confirmation in the form of footage of pivotal battles from the previous Gundam series. An attempt to recreate the Dark History by Gym Ghingham becomes the focus of ∀ Gundam's plot when it nears its climax.
