And to answer your question WITHOUT a timeline filled with spoilers Galaxia-you-asshole. UC is the Universal century, the timeline that the original MS Gundam was set in and where numerous side-stories and continuations took place. This is considered the original setting for Gundam and where all spinoffs have taken at least a couple aspects. The numerous shows based in the UC time period make up the core of the Gundam franchise, although recent attempts to further the plot of that timeline have been vastly considered huge failures.

All other Gundam shows are considered to be in an Alternate Universe (AU) from the UC timeline and have variations off the technology and storyline, though they often share at least one thing in common. Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny are not related to any other show but each other -taking place on the Cosmic Era timeline- (though many MS designs are taken from the UC & other timelines) and Destiny is the first actual TV show sequel to an AU Gundam, as far as I know.
