MG Turn X manual fluff translations

   Backed up here because Pastebin is randomly deleting my pastebins for no reason:

 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (new info only)

Solar energy facilities and phlogiston fuel used in the CC age were products of the moonlight butterfly's nanomachines. Also it's stated that the nanomachines actually completely covered the Earth and created a new surface.
MOONRACE (new info only)

The Sorel clan traditionally provides a SYMBOLIC queen to the Moonrace with their charisma. The Sorel, Maintainer, and Ginganam clans are together known as the three royal families.
TURN X (new info only)

Meaning of the X in Turn X is "he whose path was turned astray at the 10th star". It has been damaged and repaired with parts from other machines countless times in the past. Many of the parts used were taken from other excavated machines, and it now no longer even resembles what it used to look like.  


TURN X AND TURN A

Turn X is a machine that drifted to Earth from outside the solar system for some unknown reason. It's supposedly an MS created by people who left the Earth sphere in search of a new frontier long ago, and is seemingly made to be piloted for the people who were known as newtypes. Thus, it cannot draw on its full power in the current Earth sphere which has no newtypes.

Regardless, the people of Earth feared its advanced technology, and wary of an invasion from outside the solar system, created the Turn A Gundam and its systems based on the Turn X's technology. In the end there were no invasions, and it instead put an end to the wars on Earth.

There was once a war between two factions, one that believed that civilization should be reset so that mankind could start anew, and one that wanted to solve all problems with technology, and the Turn A and Turn X, representing the two factions, clashed, and this resulted in the Turn X losing. The X mark on its chest was a result of the damage from this battle, and could not be repaired by any means. In the end civilization was reset, and Turn X and Turn A created mountain cycles at their final destinations.

The insignia that appear when Turn X and Turn A come into contact come from the black box system at the basis of the two units, and is said to be a sort of warning shared by all turn types. 

 

TESTBED TURN A

Comms and electronic devices immune to minovsky particles showed up, people eventually stopped using minovsky particles entirely, this completely changed MS tactics. Turn A was a "system weapon" which consisted of a standalone type tactical weapon (the Turn A) and large scale support systems. Testbed Turn A was made to test and collect data on the Turn A's greatest characteristic, the teleportation function. As you can tell from how the head looks like the Turn X's, that's where the cockpit is. The upper torso mostly consists of a platform to teleport in weapons and ammo. The Turn A was supposed to have been able to summon weapons via "the Gossen effect" in an instant and unleash them on enemies from inside their lines.
