Unluckily for Gihren, he also had a number of Hitler's personality flaws, such as an over-reliance on miracle weapons to turn the tide against numerically superior foes. Like Hitler, he also greatly overestimated the capability of his forces. This was shown during the final battle of the One Year War, when despite his claims of superiority his forces were overcome by those of the Federation. In an effort to circumvent the Antarctic treaty forbidding nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and colony drops on Earth , Gihren's most ambitious project was the Solar Ray cannon.
This consisted of a hollowed-out colony cylinder rebuilt into a giant carbon dioxide laser with the ability to destroy entire fleets. Gihren learned that Degwin, tired of the war, decided to take his personal fleet to a designated area in space where he would meet the fleet of Earth Federation representative General Revil and discuss peace negotiations.
Gihren arranged for an accidental firing of the Solar Ray which destroyed Degwin and Revill's entire fleet. However, this may have cost Gihren one of his tactical advantages, as the premature firing burned the laser out. Kycilia, eventually learning that the death of her father was no mere accident, personally executes Gihren for the crime of patricide. As a result, she takes over during Battle of A Baoa Qu. This resulted in many Gihren loyalists withdrawing from the battlefield, which ultimately contributes to Zeon's disastrous defeat at A Baoa Qu.
We have lost a hero to our glorious and noble cause, but does this foreshadow our defeat? It is a new beginning. Compared to Earth Federation the national resources of Zeon are less than one thirtieth of theirs. Despite this major difference, how is it that we have been able to fight the fight for so long?
It is because our goal in this war is a righteous one. We want our freedom. Never forget the times when the Federation has trampled us! We, the Principality of Zeon, have had a long and arduous struggle to achieve freedom for all citizens of our great nation.
Our fight is sacred, our cause divine. My beloved brother, Garma Zabi, was sacrificed. The war is at a stalemate. This has been used in many of the Japanese series with Zeon in them, but the Americans, under the supervision of Yoshiyuki Tomino, changed this in the two Vancouver dubbed Universal Century series, Mobile Suit Gundam , and Char's Counterattack ; to keep the phrase in a similar fashion, it was mearly changed to "Hail Zeon".
This is not true of American-dubbed versions. The English-translated releases of Gundam , Gundam , and The 08th MS Team use the "Sieg Zeon" cry in even the dubbed English versions, although this is because the two of the series was translated before Mobile Suit Gundam was dubbed into English and the three series where not Tomino-directed series.
Zeon, like many other empires, met its fateful collapse when it was defeated by the Earth Federation in early January UC However, many Zeon loyalists sought refuge with either the Delaz Fleet or the asteroid Axis one must also note that the term axis may or may not refer to the Axis powers of World War 2 , which included Italy , Germany, and Japan WW2.
Zeon did not resurface for 3 more years, when the Delaz Fleet found the ample time to attack the Federation, mostly by stealing their nuclear-armed Gundam GP02A "Physalis" , and using it against the amassed ships at Konpeito. Axis Zeon nicknamed Axis gave the Delaz Fleet their prototype mobile armour, the Neue Ziel , but did not attack the Federation directly.
Neo Zeon met its end, and a second Neo Zeon movement also failed to accomplish its goals. Categories : Universal Century Fictional governments. Principality of Zeon From Academic Kids. Missing image Zeonic-Flag Toolbox Special pages.

Lord Djibril Despite this major difference, how is it that we have been able to fight the fight for so long? Now is the time for mankind to stand up for the future! His son entered the palace room and saw his passed his father, he placed his hand on his fathers and sighed, he knew this day was coming and he knew this could possibly be the end of his family's rule as Grand Moff.

This would result in them being used as scapegoats and barred from received amnesty after the One Year War ended while Gihren's other cohorts involved in the planning of Operation British got off Scot free.
Its weaknesses have brought it to the brink of extinction, and now the way must be cleared for the coming of the Newtypes and the new world order. I appeal to you all. Under the pretense of "liberating" the colonies, Gihren seeks to bring the entire Earth Sphere under his totalitarian control.
Although Gihren was successful in reducing his father's role to that of a figurehead ruler, he still endured Degwin's criticisms and scorn.
Victory is the greatest tribute we can pay those who sacrifice their lives for us!
