Anno Domini is the timeline used by the anime television series Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and its spinoff projects. The timeline Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D) is derived from the real life term, which is the designation used to number years after the birth of Christ in the Julian and Gregorian calendar. The story of Gundam 00 is running within the same timeline as the present society is currently residing in, around 300 years into the future from today.

- 2051
- Aeolia Schenberg is born.[1]
- 2090
- At the age of 39, Aeolia Schenberg comes out with a solution to solve the Global Fuel Crisis: a theoretical basis for the combined Orbital Elevator and photovoltaic energy system.[1] As the level of technology available at the time of publication is not advanced enough to realize the project, his theory receives little public attention.
- While working on the concept of orbital space elevator, Aeolia also works on the development of humanoid machines.[1] It is before the actual production of mobile suits so historically, he can be viewed as its inventor.
- 2091
- Aeolia postulates the fundamental theory about GN Particles and most of the technology (GN Drives, Veda, etc) around it.
- At the age of 40, Aeolia observes that the world as he knows it is full of hatred, greed and violence. However, with his findings about the special particles that could transmit thoughts, he regains hope for humanity and begins to come up with an envisioned goal for all of mankind. It'll be later referred to as "Aeolia Schenberg's Plan."
- 21??

Grave had no problems with the candidate being proposed by others as an unsuitable candidate would be eliminated in the subsequent tests.
- Civil war in Celestial Being. Grave Violento was eventually shot by Hixar Fermi, who was controlled via Quantum Brainwaves.[21] The attack on Grave urges Gundam Meister 874 to launch in GNY-0042-874 Gundam Artemie and pursue the culprit.

Beside was later defeated by Grave, who arrived in GN-XXX+GNR-000 Sefer Rasiel despite his mortal injuries. Grave dies shortly afterwards and his data in Veda is erased. Hixar disappears and is labelled dead by Veda. Beside Pain is pronounced dead and one of his body container is relegated into an Intelligence-type Innovade. Due to insufficient evidence to pin the civil war on Beside Pain, Gundam Meister 874 is put responsible for the incident by Veda and is restricted into a Haro information terminal as a punishment.[23]

Professor Ralph Eifman becomes the unit's chief engineer. They were later joined by Warrant Officer Howard Mason and Master Sergeant Daryl Dodge.
- The HRL denounces Celestial Being's actions in the media and promised to do all it can to destroy the paramilitary group.[29] The other two superpowers (the AEU and the Union) also condemn Celestial Being. However, they only promise to take action against the group if Celestial Being takes part in a conflict within one of their member states.[30]
- The HRL forms its own special task force against the Gundams, lead by Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Smirnov. The unit is later renamed as the Chobu team. Second Lieutenant Soma Peries from the Super Human Research Institute is transferred to the unit to act as its ace against the Gundams.[29]

The Gundams intervene as planned and after being bombarded for over 16 hours, are overwhelmed by the superpowers' superior numbers.[37] As each superpower is about to claim a Gundam, Team Trinity, with their Gundam Thrones, arrive to rescue the Gundam Meisters.[38] Due to their arrival and a mass communications blackout caused by Team Trinity, the operation halts and is later declared as a failure.
- Celestial Being observers hold an emergency meeting to discuss about the newly arrived Gundams. With the meeting, they decide to acknowledge Team Trinity as part of Celestial Being.[38]

- Alejandro Corner takes control of Veda, thanks to Ribbons Almark, and discovers the frozen body of Aeolia Schenberg. He kills Aeolia, but this triggers Aeolia's system trap, which activates the Trans-Am System on the 5 GN-Drives. The system trap also makes the Gundam Meisters' (and their crew's) files in Veda non-existent.[47]
- After Team Trinity's defeat, the UN focuses their sights on the Ptolemy group. With the newly acquired Gundam Throne Zwei, the United Nations Forces' 26 GN-Xs attack the Gundams. However, due to Trans-Am System and other new equipment that the Gundams acquired, 15 of the GN-Xs are destroyed. Two of three Virginia-classs are also sunk.[48] The UN considers the possibility of retreat.[25]

The ESF intervenes by launching missiles attacks against the ship, but it strangely survives the contact. A group of GNX-803T GN-XIVs, led by Lieutenant Andrei Smirnov, are also sent to intercept. The ship is only destroyed with the intervention of Innovator Captain Descartes Sherman in GNMA-Y0002V Gadelaza. The fragments are left to disintegrate on the atmosphere, but they still ultimately survived and landed on Earth.
- All over the world, strange occurrences of randomly activating cars, trains, and boats begin to occur involving people with Quantum Brainwaves. There are also some accidents during the retrieval of the debris from the destroyed ship Europa. The ESF scientists, together with Billy Katagiri, investigate the source and the cause of the strange occurrences.
- With the random attacks on people with Quantum Brainwaves, Celestial Being sends Setsuna F. Seiei and Lockon Stratos to check on their comrades on Earth. Lockon retrieves Allelujah Haptism and Soma Peries at HRL Mongolia.
- The Federation identifies the source of the accidents as that from the metal debris from the destroyed Europa and names it as Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter or ELS.

- To stop the ELS threat, the ESF devises a plan. They use Captain Shaman's QBW latency to try and lure the ELS away from Earth and intercept the ELS at Mars. Their plan backfires as Vice Admiral Kim and Descartes Shaman are KIA by the ELS. Also, many GN-XIV's are assimilated.
- Celestial Being arrives to assist the ESF. Setsuna F. Seiei attempts to communicate with the ELS instead of fighting them, but his brain is damaged by a massive amount of information from the ELS and he is rendered nearly comatose. Setsuna is saved from assimilation by Tieria, but at the cost of the latter's physical body. Celestial Being retreats as the Solbraves, led by Graham Aker cover Celestial Being. The GN-008RE Seravee Gundam II, GNX-903VS Brave (Standard Test Type), and GNX-903VW Brave (Commander Test Type) debut. 00 Raiser Condenser Type, Raphael Gundam, and Seravee Gundam II are lost to the ELS.

- Gundams Zabanya and Harute join the battle, but the ELS break through the Absolute Defense Line and head for Earth. Lieutenant Andrei Smirnov and a group of GN-XIV's overload their GN Drive Taus while in Trans-Am and stop a carrier-type ELS from heading towards Earth.
- Setsuna F. Seiei awakens and launches in the completed 00 Qan[T] in order to commence the dialogues with the ELS. Graham Aker is seemingly KIA, when he overloads the Trans-Am to create an opening for Setsuna, and the Gundam Harute is destroyed.
- Using the Quantum System, Setsuna F. Seiei commences the dialogues with the ELS The ELS war ends through these dialogues, with the ELS planet transforming into a large desert flower to signify peace. Setsuna and the 00 Qan[T] leave the solar system and travel to the ELS home planet for further understanding.
