Lagrange Points

A Lagrange Point is a spot in a N body system where you can suspend an body between N other bodies and have the body be stationary relative to the N other bodies.

Lagrange Point 4, is the point at which my mind is stationary relative to the world.  Stationary and stable and thus capable of being recorded. What you find at Lagrange Point 4 is the recorded musings of a self proclamed Otaku.

Why Lagrange Point 4 in Particular?

The Lagrange Point play a large role in the Gundam Universe. The colonies that humans live in the Universal Century (U.C.) are located at the various Lagrange Points because they take less energy to keep in relative orbit, and say set distances from the Earth and Moon allowing for easy resupply. Lagrange Point 4 features the colony clusters Side 2 Hatte and Side 6 Riah during the One Year War (U.C. 0079) and later Side 5 Loum after the Side reorganization in U.C. 0084.
