How important was the real Heero Yuy?

[windwraith]

One of the stories i have in the works is giving me a bit of trouble it is an AU built around the premise that Odin lowe intentionally botched the job and failed to assasinate polititian yuy. How would things have been different? Both Dekim and Quince said they were friends of Yuy and used his death as as excuse for their radical beliefs. the tension between the colonists and earth was supposed to have its roots in that one event...

if Yuy didn't die would operation meteor have happened? Would the gundams have still been built? Would sanq have been overthrown? How would things have changed? I have some ideas but i'd like to hear what others think so imput would be appreciated.

Who paid for the assasination and why? what were they trying to achieve?

[Lunah]

I think Yuy might have been the Noventa of the time. He would have essentially brought total peace to the colonies and Earth. None of what happened would have happened; at most, he might have been pushed into the head of the Sanq Kingdom, unofficially.

I'm suspecting someone on Earth paid for his assassination, can't imagine who, probably an important figure who was not a member of any of the groups we know today (Romefeller, OZ, White Fang, etc) but wanted to keep control over the colonies.

[windwraith]

I understand why is wouldn't have been oz or whitefang they didn't really exist at the time what is your reasoning for discounting romefeller they were the one vying for control with the alliance, they were the only group i could think of that would benefit from war.

[Lunah]

Because Romefeller would be too obvious; highly scrutinized people who already have power wouldn't want to put themselves in danger like that. It was likely someone who had not to much too lose but a lot more to gain by killing him, while still having a lot of money at their disposal.

[windwraith]

I'm not sure, before the war it seemmed to me that romefeller was something of a shadowy orginization a secret society like the bones-men or the free masions. People are aware of them but only those within the ranks actually know what they are about and even those only know certain things the higher ups keep the over all plans hidden and everything is on a need to know basis. they were in charge of OZ but even treize wasn't aware of all their plans only the ones that pertained to him.

[Lunah]

In that case, Romefeller members would be highly suspect. Remember, I haven't even seen the whole series yet so take all my advice with a grain of salt. ;P But that's gotta be the sort of question someone's asked before! Now I'm curious. Google!

OMG 'His message gained so much support that OZ had Odin Lowe assassinate him on April 7, AC175'

From Wiki. Yeah, it was OZ. They were afraid of the power he had, thinking he might actually give Colonial independence to the colonies.

[windwraith]

cool it even has the date, awesome, thanks

so if it didn't happen, would there still have been gundams? would they have been built for another purpouse?

[Lunah]

Oh hell no. The colonies built them to rebel, which must have been difficult enough considering where they were. They would have had peace had he not died.

[iceya]

...it was OZ who killed Heero Yuy. <3
Methinks Treize did it. He was setting stuff up.

[Lunah]

Aw yeah. Bastard. After he finished getting a great deal on Wild Turkey.

[windwraith]

Well in this prticular AU I'm sure Treize didn't do it, he got injured in a training incident and dropped out of Victoria accedemy his millitary career was over before it began, and Zechs went with him. since Sanc didn't fall the only reason he was there in the first place was because of his friendship with treize.

but i'm thinking the accident might not have been an accident and someone had it in for him...still not clear on the who or why though.

[Lunah]

DUN DUN DUN

I blame someone from Romefeller, they didn't trust him.

[iceya]

Romefellar is a bunch of aristocrats who believe in them ruling. 8| It's not impossible, though I have to question - why the hell would TK drop out?
And why would Z go with him?

[Lunah]

Because Treize was overwhelmed by the sense of justice shown to him by Wufei whom he met after Wufei's wife died (because if I'm not mistaken, her death was unrelated to all of that).
