GundamIt Hobbies Gundam Facts: Did you know... The Jupiter Empire/Jupiter Sphere of nations, well known for its anti-Federation spacenoid sentiments, was founded and led by Crux Dogatie, one of the first colonists at Jupiter, after over a period of roughly 70 years, started somewhere in the mid U.C. 0060s. During of the events of Mobile Suit Gundam F91, Jupiter willingly surrenders to the original Crossbone Vanguard and supports them during the Cosmo Babylonia War, with the current Jupiter Energy Fleet captain promising cooperation. This was supposedly done to put some pressure on the Earth Federation with the possibility of an energy embargo, which may have been one of the Empires early passive-aggressive moves against them. It is revealed in the story Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam that Crux Dogatie greatly resented the Federation for at first ignoring Jupiter requests to become an independent nation and then for forcing him into a political marriage with Tetenith Dogaties (aka. Bernadette Briett) mother, whom he claims to have married in his 80s, so they could keep an eye on him. Jupiter forces secretly built up power and over time created an impressive force of mobile suits and mobile armors. Their machinations however were discovered by Cecily Fairchild, who took her old name Berah Ronah to recreate the Crossbone Vanguard and gather supporters. The new Crossbone Vanguard however operated as pirates and soon began to attack the Jupiter Empire. In U.C. 0133 the Empire made its move to conquer Earth and sent the massive starship Jupitris 9 to Earth, where they appeared as a peace delegation. Their plan caused the Earth Federation Forces to attack the Crossbone Vanguard, leading to their near destruction. Following this happenings, the Jupiter Empire gave up its cover and openly attacked the Earth Federation, who was quickly overwhelmed by this surprise attack. The battle however changed in favor for the Federation, when the Crossbone Vanguard and the colonial forces, which had remained neutral up until then, attacked the Empire. Eventually the Empires forces were defeated and Dogatie himself was killed. Stay tuned for more Gundam facts.
