About Gundam Universal Century UI
The Universal Century cockpit of *Mobile Suit Gundam* is a black spherical panoramic monitor lit only from within: phosphor-green wireframe terrain, radar grids, and numeric readouts hovering in the void. Amber data and red targeting reticles punctuate the dark, captioned in blocky Mecha katakana. It reads as a tactical instrument, never a lit room — green-on-black, hard brackets, scanline glow.
