Mobile Suit Gundam AVNA

The year is 927 Oppressive Millennium. The Climatic Atrocity has begun.

A planetary cult has overthrown the world's government, and the world nation of Earth has collapsed in terms of economy, religion, and culture. The cult's name is GRAB, and it vows that life beyond Earth exists and will take over Earth. GRAB now creates various mecha called Mobile Suits. Their most common form is a Gundam that is capable of all-terrain self-defense, offense, and warfare.

Many of those who oppose GRAB are in space colonies; others are on Earth, where they govern smaller islands and own them. But some space colonies have fallen into other hands and are now used for military warfare, in deploying these Gundams.

Sadly, Gundams used by the GRAB cult have even killed others who have lived in the space colonies and back on what is still known as Earth.

Meant to be KIKEN's Spiritual Successor.

This fic provides examples of (under construction):

 * Alternative Calendar: The Oppressive Millenium. The year AVNA takes place: 973.
 * Alternate Continuity:
 * And yes, GRAB-- took inspiration for the Gundams
 * Church of Happyology: GRAB has qualms against critics, and those who do are consequently converted in to GRAB-affiliated Skeptics (yes, with a capital S--think lukewarm Christians), or killed.
 * Religion of Evil: Well, whaddya think about GRAB's recent activities, anyway?
 * Religious Horror: If you become a GRABBER, this is what happens whenever you have to go through a Revising process.
 * Distressed Damsel: Saiah. But she gets better, and joins Team AVNA.
 * Fantastic Racism: Typically, in Gundam franchise works, its usually Puny Earthlings vs. Born Winner Spacelings. But this time, its an Inverted Trope, and at the same time subverted for Gundam--not the trope as a whole: Those in space are those who refuse to communicate and use technology that well like Newtypes, while those who can are on Earth and rule at least 3/4 of it.
 * Simply put, they are still WE Puny Spacelings vs. That Religious Cult Who Kicked Us Out Of Home.
 * Five-Token Band: This is used to emphasize on the world participating in a conflict against GRAB.
 * The Hero: Buzz diRonnio = Italian-American
 * The Lancer: Delaney Kagayaki = Japanese-Australian
 * The Smart Guy: Kemiyah Rivers = African-English
 * The Big Guy: Yuuma and Yuuna Kitagawa = Japanese
 * The Chick: Maria Clarion-Tiague = Chinese-Spanish-Filipino
 * Fun with Acronyms: GRAB = the Greatly Renowned Authority of Benevolence. Could also double as a Meaningful Name: the GRABBERS think they are doing these invasions for the good of the world.
 * Knight Templar: Pretty much what GRAB embodies.
 * Humongous Mecha: This is a Gundam series! What did you expect?
 * Combining Mecha: Mostly two piece-combinations found in the Mobile Suit Combination Line.
 * Mecha Expansion Pack: Anything in the Mobile Suit Armored Line--the armor can convert itself to backpack upgrades.
 * I Know Mortal Kombat: Justified in that the Mobile Suit Handling Engine's HUD/interface
 * Mutually Fictional:
 * Post Modernism:
 * This then eliminates it
 * Spiritual Successor: To the author's earlier work, KIKEN. But one character can tell you that he did a Time Skip by accident--
