[For those whose first exposure to the world of Gundam was "Gundam Wing"]
When is [insert Gundam series here] supposed to take place? Since at the end of "Endless Waltz" there was a mention that Gundams were never used again, how could [insert Gundam series here] take place?
[information taken from Gundamproject.com and paraphrased.]
To put it simply, "Gundam Wing" and "Endless Waltz" took place in an alternate universe. There are two timelines which constitute the world of Gundam, the first one is called the "Universal Century" (UC) timeline which was first established in Mobile Suit Gundam (first broacast in the real world in 1979) and is carried on in its sequels (Zeta Gundam, Zeta Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack, Gundam F91, 08th MS Team, etc.); it is regarded as the *main* Gundam timeline. Begining with Mobile Fighter G Gundam (first broadcast in 1994) a series of alternate universe Gundam shows were established. Aside from having no connection with the history of the UC timeline aside from the use of Gundams (or even each other for that matter), these shows also used their own established timelines. Future Century (FC) for the G Gundam timeline, After Colony (AC) for Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, After War (AW) for Gundam X.
In short, there can be Gundams on other Gundam shows because Gundam Wing was it's own little universe.
