Side 4
Space colony cluster that became the Frontier Side.
Side 4, also known as Moore, was a space colony cluster initially located at Lagrange point L5 before being moved to L1 during the reorganisation of Sides in UC 0084. It was later rebuilt as the Frontier Side.
Description
Side 4’s proximity to Side 3 made it one of the first targets during the One Year War. The cluster suffered extensive damage, leaving behind a debris field known as the Thunderbolt Sector, notorious for its frequent electrical discharges.
Notable colonies included:
- Frontier I
- Frontier II
- Frontier IV
- New Manhattan
- Industrial 7
Industrial 7
A closed-type industrial colony managed by Anaheim Electronics. Half of its two million residents were Anaheim employees and their families. The colony featured a factory segment and harbour facing Earth, while its colony builder unit Rokuro faced the Moon.
History
One Year War
Side 4 suffered devastating attacks during the initial phase of the One Year War due to its strategic location near Zeon’s home at Side 3. The destruction created the Thunderbolt Sector, a hazardous region filled with debris and electrical phenomena.
Frontier Side
In UC 0120, Side 4 was reconstructed as the Frontier Side. The Federation test ship Space Ark sought refuge at Frontier I when the Crossbone Vanguard invaded in UC 0123.
The Crossbone Vanguard first attacked Frontier IV before seizing Frontier VI, which became the capital of Cosmo Babylonia. They later conducted weapons tests at Frontier I, resulting in civilian casualties.
Civil War
Civil war erupted in Cosmo Babylonia in UC 0125. After the nation’s collapse in UC 0128, the Federation regained control of the Frontier colonies, and Frontier IV reclaimed its original name.
Later History
Following the Federation’s collapse in UC 0218, Side 4 joined the Settlement Freedom League. The New Manhattan colony later served as headquarters for the Illuminati resistance group in UC 0223.
