The After War period starts following the massive colony drops that brought an end to the 7th Space War and killed 99% of humanity living on the Earth's surface. With under 100 million survivors, those who remain alive have rebuilt their lives in a new way, with Vultures scouring the desolate countryside, looking for bounty and post-war Mobile Suits. Meanwhile, the remnants of the United Nations Earth (UNE) have reassembled with sponsors into the New United Nations Earth, and the colonists who had fought for independence have reassembled their Space Revolutionary Army (SRA).

The renewed conflict was brought to an end and the survivors have been striving for peace since.

The Current Year is AW 0016.

New United Nations Earth

As the United Nations Earth was the ruling government of the Earth, it tried to maintain and manage control over the orbiting space colonies as well as things going on the planet. With escalating friction between the Earth and the Space colonies, several wars break out between them. The largest of which, and most devastating being the 7th Space War. Deploying a number of mobile suits and ships developed for the war, along with a special group of mobile suits called Gundam's piloted by Newtype pilots. When the Space Revolutionary Army threatened to use a colony drop, the Gundams were deployed in the final battle, which in turn caused the destruction of most of the surface of the planet as well as the end of the 7th Space War with the destruction of the UNE.
Following the devastating end of the 7th Space War the headquarters of the United Nations Earth government located in South America was destroyed, along with much of its ruling council. The New United Nations Earth government was formed by surviving members of the United Nations Earth, as well as influential men of power, under the leadership of Fixx Bloodman.
The New United Nations Earth started to gain power and bring nations once part of its original body back into one ruling government through the use of either negotiation or force. To do this they used a variety of mobile suits used by the original United Nations Earth, as well as developed new mobile suits and mobile armors. The New United Nations Earth also made use of private companies, such as the Newtype Labs operated by Karon Ratto in order to add to their forces, and possibly once again use Newtypes in their armed forces.

Space Revolutionary Army

The Space Revolutionary Army is the main force that fought against the United Nations Earth government during the 7th Space War, formed by the Colony of Cloud 9 and other space colonies as a way to defend themselves as they broke away from their control.
When the 8th Space War broke out, Seidel Rasso led the Space Revolutionary Army against the New United Nations Earth. But when he was killed in the final battle of the war, command of the Space Revolutionary Army fell on Lancerow Dawell. Lancerow along with the aide of others called for an end to the fighting, bringing an end to the 8th Space War and opening peace negotiations with the New United Nations Earth.

Vultures

In the After War timeline, a Vulture is a person or group that salvages equipment and materials from before the end of the 7th Space War in abandoned United Nations Earth bases, facilities, or other such areas. Traveling the land and sea in large hovering ships classified as land battleships, the Vultures carry out their task both on land and at sea.
Those operating on land are simply known as Vultures, and are generally friendly with one another, often joining forces if needed. Vultures that operate independently of one another are either Mercenaries for hire, or operate as bandits. After completing a salvage operation, Vultures will sell or trade the goods at a town or settlement where it might be needed. They then take on other jobs, such as transporting goods from one place to another in exchange for money or things that their ship needs.
Vultures operate at sea are known as Sea Vultures, using traditional and customized ships and mobile suits, they salvage whatever is left on the ocean floor from the war. The salvage that they bring up includes mobile suits, warships, and various other goods. Taking these back to the main land or island nations, the Sea Vultures help to increase the wealth of cities forming on the coasts as well as the standard of living for those that survived the war. Another of their tasks that they perform is to act as supply ships, often trading or selling the salvage that they have to other ships that they meet at sea, or are called by.
