{{nihongo|'''Universal Century'''|宇宙世紀|Uchū Seiki|literal meaning: "Universe (or 'Space') Century"|lead=yes}} is the main setting of the ''[[Gundam]]'' [[anime]] [[metaseries]]. Universal Century makes up the dominating majority of the entire franchise. While many new Gundam stories are told in their own parallel universe with independent timelines, giving them a greater degree of creative freedom, the original U.C. storyline continues to be extremely popular for a variety of reasons. It established the series, and delivered many of its best moments, as well as setting the standard for realistic [[hard science fiction]] in anime; the original Gundam marked the maturing of the Giant Robot genre. Also, nostalgia for the oldest of the Gundam shows (and Gundam's resulting status as a pop-culture icon in Japan) is still a major factor in its continuing success.<ref>[http://www.mhi.co.jp/news/sec1/020220nl.html] ''機動戦士ガンダムは、同じくバンダイグループの（株）サンライズが制作し、1979年4月～1980年1月にテレビシリーズ第１作が放映されて以来、テレビシリーズ8作品、劇場用映画9作品などが公開され、20年以上にわたり人気を保っています。米国をはじめ、ヨーロッパ、アジアでも作品が放映され、各地で高い人気を得ています。''</ref>

==Chronology==
In a pre-production memo, Gundam creator [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] wrote that the first series takes place in 2066 AD,<ref>Quoted in Gundam Century</ref> which would have the Universal Century calendar starting in 1988 AD. However, a "2079" date stamp in the first Gundam series' episode 26 and a "2087" date stamp in ''[[Zeta Gundam]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> episode 8 indicated a 2001 starting date (but not necessarily AD). The date stamps were not included in the subsequent movie versions of these series, and these dates have since been contradicted by later works.
Based on a dated newspaper shown in the last episode of the ''[[Gundam 0080]]'' [[OVA]] series written by [[Gainax]]'s [[Hiroyuki Yamaga]] (Monday, January 14, 0080) and in ''Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ'', ''Axis Zeon became Neo Zeon on 29th Feb, 0088'', the Universal Century can be pinpointed to begin in several specific years, including 2053, 2081, 2109, and 2149. In the Universal Century chronology, the last dated entry of the AD system was 2045 AD, leading to the common misconception that U.C. 0001 followed immediately afterwards. A few early unofficial sources even listed U.C. 0001 as 2046 AD (or even 2045), but current official materials indicate the presence of a gap of years between the AD and U.C. calendar systems. Therefore the first year of the Universal Century calendar is deduced on the official Gundam website in North America as being 2053, 2081, 2109, or possibly later, meaning U.C. 0079 would correspond to 2131, 2159, 2187, or later. It is still unknown the total duration of the UC era, but in ''[[Gundam Reconguista in G]]'', it is revealed that it is eventually succeeded by another calendar era, known as the Regild Century (RC), which extends for at least 1000 years.

==Analysis of Possibility==
Although the concept of Space Colonization was not introduced by Gundam shows, the Universal Century series did spark academic research on the possibilities of different colonization methods.<ref name="times">[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article5058011.ece ''The Times''], 1 November 2008</ref> Writers also make their own estimations about the realism of human colonization under a united Government like the Earth Federation. Author Ichigaya made a rough estimation of the cost of building a colony that can house 60 million residents and the relative tax requirement for building it, and deemed it to be quite implausible for a single country (Japan as an example) to support the project since it will at least raise the income tax rate up to 50~70%.<ref>MS戰略分析 (MS Strategy Analysis), Hajime Ichigaya, 2007, Futabasha, ISBN 978-4-575-29993-9 C0076</ref>
