I still appreciate your help, Vehrec (the DL-44 ROCKS like a bat out of Hell), and thanks for being honest)."Eugene never suffered from the routine discrimination of a 'utero', or a 'faith birth' or an 'in-valid' as we were called. A 'valid', a 'vitro', a 'made-man', he suffered under a different burden... the burden of perfection."-Vincent Freeman, 'Gattaca'.HOMINDAE COORDINATUS (Gundam SEED-verse 'Coordinator' Race).In every version of the Gundam series, the reasons for war run deep. There's political reasons, economical reasons, and the fact that the leaders of most factions are charismatic sociopaths helps a lot, too.But there were also biological reasons. One side developing something that separated them, that put them head and shoulders over the common man, and so, made them feel 'right'.In the Universal Century, it was the appearance of Newtypes.On the Cosmic Era, it was the Coordinators. Genetically modified (during embryonic phase) to be the peak of human development, they are stronger, faster, quicker-thinking and (after a fashion) nastier in a fight than the normal Gundamverse human (although this varies widely between base universes).The term was coined from the 'disclosure' speech of the first recorded Coordinator, George Miller, who precluded it with:"I feel that I'm a connection between Earth and Space. A bridge..."If Miller had been anyone else but the goody-two-shoes he was, the idea of the Coordinator enhancement would have been nothing but a fad. As it was, soon a they were a large number, enough to become a population of their own.And, soon after, all kinds of Hell broke loose. One just has to see the series to note how bad it was (that is, if you can find a DVD they haven't used for skeet practice).When they appeared in Coreline, like most other factions/races, they were brutally humbled. The majority of the Earthside ZAFT forces were located in Gibraltar, which was quickly taken over by Cortana's forces, and over on space, the brutal free-for-all took down many more of their number.ZAFT was subsequently disbanded by the LaGrange Colonies' government and almost all of the 'bad guys' were quietly captured, tried and/or executed by Black Ops units (Colonial and Coreline). After that, the 'Coords' were recieved with arms wide open.By the common Fiction, at least.A good number of evil Factions, such as the Avengers of Humanity and the Knights of the True Timeline, have started to degrade them because of their gene-mod background (calling them 'Gattacas', among other things). Blue Cosmos reorganized and went deeper underground, supporting Newtype causes (because Newtypes naturally developed their abilities, and so Blue Cosmos see them as the 'true' (from a Gundamverse POV) evolution of mankind). And there's still enough runaway 'evil' ZAFT forces to form a small army (which they did).But, if there's one thing that they were made for, is to endure and adapt. And this they are doing with swiftness.(STATS TO COME SOON).</blockquote>
