Mobile Suit Gundam

Full disclaimer, I am going into this almost entirely ignorant of the greater Gundam lore. The only other Gundam series I have ever seen is Gundam Wing, years ago. So, there was some stuff I had to look up during this episode in an effort to be "in the know" so to speak. Here are some of the things I looked up, so if my understanding is wrong, feel free to correct me you True Gundam Fans out there:

• Sides - the name given to large space colonies that are numbered. This series seems like it will center around Side 6.
• Newtype - basically humans that have reached a higher level of adaptation to space. I tried not to get too spoilery in my research, but from what I read, they seem to have some minor psionic powers, like a sixth sense at detecting other Newtypes. Also, they have incredible reaction speed and spatial awareness due to their acclimatization with microgravity.
• Minovsky Particles - These are emitted by the power source inside Gundam units and serve to interfere with electronics and electromagnetic waves.

Overall though, as somebody unversed in the lore, I was able to follow along well enough. The MC was certainly assertive, taking the literal leap into a stolen Gundam suit without even thinking twice. She also had zero qualms just straight up killing the police officers that were attacking her newfound friend.

I am looking forward to see where things go from here.
