The Principality of Zeon

The Principality of Zeon was founded in UC 0078 based on the ideals of Zeon Zun Deikun who died in UC 0068. He believed that all space colonies should be free from the rule of the Earth Federation. Unfortunately, the Principality of Zeon was led by a dictatorship who didn't care much for these ideals and only used them to further their agenda of taking over earth. During the one year war, they formulated a plan called "Operation British" which was to take a destroyed colony and set it on a colision course to earth, which would be known as a "Colony Drop". The principality of Zeon was ultimately defeated in a final battle between Amuro Ray and their ace pilot, Char Aznable who later went into hiding after being thought to have died. The Principality of Zeon operated many different types of mobile suits such as the MS-06F Zaku II, the MS-07B Gouf, the MS-09B Dom, the MA-08 Big Zam and more.

Eventually once the Principality of Zeon were defeated, the splintered remenants of Zeon created new factions known as Neo Zeon and Axis Zeon who took part in the Gryps War of UC 0087.
