It's interesting how the staff at Newtype started making stuff up when it came to Gaia Gear (which they say was super popular at the time), including the little diddy about it being "100 years after Gundam." Tomino would go on to dispel that claim...

...saying that there was no mention of such things in his writings. NT staff initially pegged it as taking place in the U.C.0180s, but interestingly enough, they included a timeline snippet in their own magazine in '93 as part of their "We Want Next Gundam" article.
U.C.0191: EFF expands Manhunting Forces (MHA) organization.
U.C.0196: Gaia Gear Alpha rolls out
U.C.0197: Afranche Char is welcomed as leader of the Metatron Agency.
*ponders this* Novel continuity and drama continuity?

Now that I think about it, I don't think there was ever any confirmation of a timeframe in the novel. I mean, I presume their 0180s comment comes from the depiction of the Gaplant on the beach. Seems the title was supposed to be "Mobile Suit Gaia Gear ~Char's Counterattack~".
It wasn't until Chapter 6 that the "Mobile Suit" portion of the title was dropped. It would later be billed as "Newtype Saga." Anyways, just some random useless stuff to yammer about.
