Holy Britannian Empire
@VoidZero and @Valleron
Nation-State
Earth Federation
Capital: Pendragon (North America)
Territories: North America, South America, Japan, Oceania
Description: The pre-eminent military power of Earth, the Holy Britannian Empire is an absolute monarchy claiming to trace its roots back to Pre-Roman Britain. With the largest army on the planet and control of the Western Hemisphere, Britannia dominates the Federation Council, and has only grown in power since the One Year War, their landgrab of the Japanese archipelago, and their sponsorship of the Titans as a tool of oppressing potential Zeonic resurgence. However, their army and navy are huge, unwieldy, and expensive, and palace intrigues make modernization of their aging Knightmare Frames and repression of their subject states problematic despite the country's vast wealth and brutal policies.
Special Trait: Cold-Blooded Strategist. Under Schneizel and Cornelia's leadership, Britannian forces keep cooler heads and stronger contingencies. Ambushes and guerilla warfare are less effective in battles where they are present.

Advanced European Union
@tankdrop24
Nation-State
Earth Federation
Zodiac Alliance
Capital: Bremen (Europe)
Territories: Europe, North Africa, East Africa
Description: On paper, the AEU is an political union of democratic nations, and a subset of the greater Earth Federation. However, according to some outlandish rumors, true power in the AEU rests in the Romefeller Foundation, an alliance of corporate entities owned by aristocrats dating back to the 19th century. The Romefeller Foundation includes some of the largest arms manufactures in the Federation. Europe's economy has grown to have a massive war industry.
Special Trait: Wings of OZ, Shadows of Romefeller. The Romefeller foundation has established a strong web of influence both with the Federation's political structure, and within the Federation military itself, making it easier for it to manipulate events in its favor.

Far East Republic
@Hollewanderer
Nation-State
Earth Federation
Zodiac Alliance
Capital: Beijing (Asia)
Territories: Asia
Description: Replacing the defunct Chinese Confederation at the start of the Universal Century, the Far Eastern Republic has weathered aggression from multiple other powers to remain a functioning democracy with de facto control and protection over much of the Asian mainland. At present, its main concerns are the ever-encroaching Britannians and the increasingly worrisome metaphysical distortions north of its borders.
Special Trait: Northern Patrols. FER excursions into the various anomalies in Siberia give them an unpredictable edge in learning new technologies and enhancing their soldiers' capabilities.

PLANT
@SirLagginton
Nation-State
Zodiac Alliance
Capital: Aprilius Colony (Side 1)
Territories: Side 1
Description: Founded as a safe haven and model society for Coordinators, humans genetically engineered for optimal capabilities and living in space, PLANT officially sat out the One Year War as a neutral state. Unofficially, the Coordinators look to Earth's brutal repression of other spacenoids and anti-genetic-engineering rhetoric with rapidly growing alarm, and an equally rapidly-growing army of home-grown mobile suits designed for Coordinator pilots.
Special Trait: Designer Humans. PLANT's Coordinator population is relatively small, but genetic specialization makes them very efficient at executing civic actions.

Axis Zeon
@Aedan777
Nation-State
Zeonic Successors
Capital: Axis Colony (Mobile)
Territories: Side 3 (Contested)
Description: After the One Year War, those Zeonic forces that wouldn't lay down their arms but could escape Earth's gravity fled to the asteroid belt, taking with them a sizeable military, population, and gold reserve. Rallied under the recently deceased Admiral Maharaja Karn and behind the last surviving member of the Zabi family, Mineva Lao Zabi, the forces gathered at Axis Zeon are a significant worry for military planners in the Federation, and conflict with the Zeonic Successors is assumed to be an inevitability.
Special Trait: Heir to the Zabis. Axis Zeon commands soft power well in excess of a mining asteroid thanks to the presence of a legitimate heiress to the Principality of Zeon and a whole lot of leftover war loot.

​

Martian Union
@Spktr Alpha
Nation-State
Independent
Capital: Chryse (Mars)
Territories: Mars, Deimos
Description: During the chaos of the One Year War, the manufacturing and resource-extraction operations on Mars were left adrift, with a population long resentful of colonial rule and economic dependence on Earth. With their parent companies cut off, or even annihilated in the conflict, the League of Ruling Companies declared Home-Rule. With the aid of their own self-manufacted security forces, PMCs such as Tekkadan, and Mars's various liberationist militias and Earth Federation deserters, the League was able to force recognition of their independence after the dramatic coup within and defection of the Outer Earth Orbit Joint Regulatory Fleet. On paper, Mars is a democracy, while in practice it is a chaotic collection of factions: the League of Ruling Companies is the main economic power, held in check by the iron-willed and extremely popular President Kudelia Aina Bernstein and her loyal militias and PMCs, while the state's formal military under charismatic General McGillis Fareed is made up almost entirely of Earth Federation defectors who seek an orderly society. Even the League itself freqently clashes with each other, fighting proxy wars with their clandestine mercenaries known as 'Ravens'. All of this means that Mars is a land of infinite opportunity, whether for profit, power, or chaos.
Special Trait: League of Ruling Companies. The League of Ruling Companies, a semi-cooperative trust of major corporations, holds significant power on Mars and extends influence all the way back to Earth and Jupiter. Luna-based Anaheim Electronics, the Jovian-based Teiwaz, and the 'Martian Three' comprised of Balena, Emeraude, and Zio Matrix are all a part of this league. Mars's independence is guaranteed by the League's economic influence over politics, the law, and the very means of production throughout the Solar System.

Republic of Japan
@Sara
Nation-State
Earth Federation
Zodiac Alliance
Capital: Tokyo, Japan (official); Kyoto, Japan (de facto)
Territories: Japan
Description: Declared in March UC0087 after the liberation of Britannia's "Area 11" by a coalition led by Zero the Black Knight, also known as Prince Lelouch vi Britannia. By agreement among the coalition, Japan was restored as an independent democracy with immediate Federation representation, and former radical and Getter Robo pilot Hayato Jin was swiftly proclaimed Interim President as the nation reconstructs itself after a decade of occupation.
Special Trait: Rising Sun of Democracy. With the successful overthrow of the Britannian regime, and a decade or more of experience running guerilla warfare among its leadership, revolutionary élan rules the day in Japan, vastly increasing national morale in fights where Japan's fledgling independence is threatened, especially by the old guard of Federation imperialists.

Titans Autonomous Corps
@Ceslas
Autonomous Military
Earth Federation
Headquarters: Gate of Zedan (Side 3)
Territories: Side 3, Side 7
Description: Founded by the Federation to deal with Zeon stay-behind forces and repress any resurgence of independence movements in space, the Titans have an effective carte blanche to rule space with an iron fist. With the elite of Earth's militaries in their command and the brightest mobile suit developers in the Earth Sphere at their disposal, the Titans are almost unopposable.
Special Trait: 31 July Proclamation. The Titans are backed by the full authority of the Federation, and no action they take to guarantee peace is considered unlawful. It would take a unanimous vote of the Federation Council to revoke their supreme authority.

AEUG-Karaba
@Carol
Autonomous Military
Independent
Headquarters: None (Guerillas)
Territories: None (Guerillas)
Description: Needless to say, someone exists to oppose the Titans nevertheless. Comprised of defectors from the Earth Federation military and deserters from Zeon stay-behind forces, the Anti-Earth Union Group and its associated paramilitary Karaba exist to oppose the current state of the Federation and its enforcers, while still holding onto the Federation's mandate of protecting humanity. With the backing of powerful economic actors, they might even have a shot at making real change.
Special Trait: The Moral Alternative. While the Titans have full legal authority, the AEUG exists specifically in defiance of that, and the more damage the Titans cause, the more defectors the AEUG will get from them and the Federation's other forces.

Delaz Fleet
@Shrike
Autonomous Military
Zeonic Successors
Headquarters: None (Guerillas)
Territories: None
Description: A maverick Zeon remnant force formed around the Zabi family's Imperial Guard. Possessing mostly outdated mobile suits and a handful of large warships and specialty units, they have nonetheless become experts in guerilla warfare and terror strikes against the Federation in the intervening years.
Special Trait: Nightmares of Solomon. The One Year War veterans and experience in the Delaz Fleet mean that despite its small size, all of its elite units can fight more efficiently.

Cima Fleet
@Rincewind
Autonomous Military
Independent
Headquarters: None (Pirates)
Territories: None (Pirates)
Description: In UC 0080, a crack Marine Amphibious Unit was exiled from Axis by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men and women promptly escaped the Federation mop-up operation to the Side 5 Shoal Zone. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help you, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Cima Fleet.
Special Trait: Wetworks Experts. Attempting to locate or ambush the Cima Fleet is much more difficult than other factions.

The Order of the Black Knights
@Etranger
Autonomous Military
Zodiac Alliance
Headquarters: Flying Battleship Shrike (Guerillas)
Territories: Western South America (Guerillas)
Description: Led by the enigmatic masked man known only as "Zero," the Order of the Black Knights is a paramilitary terrorist group whose membership is mostly comprised of Japanese nationals and other anti-Britannian dissidents, as well as a few foreign advisors and Britannian expatriates. They are curiously well-funded and operate a small number of modern Knightmare Frames, along with a handful of next-generation prototypes. Having won several propaganda victories against Britannia's Area 11 occupation forces, including assassinating the governor-general, their campaign for independence now shifts outside Japan and onto a more global stage.
Special Trait: Man of Miracles. With Zero's leadership, the Black Knights have a major advantage in ambushes, tactical retreats, and hit-and-run operations...as long as they're flashy.

United Nations Spacy
@theguynamedwafer
Autonomous Military
Earth Federation
Headquarters: Macross City (Mobile)
Territories: None
Description: With the discovery of Alien Starship 1 (unfortunately abbreviated as ASS-1), a concerted scientific and military survey was conducted to uncover the secrets of both its origins and its exotic technologies. It was dubbed the SDF-1 Macross after a surface-level understanding of its systems and technologies was achieved and reconstruction was deemed possible. After it inexplicably vanished from the surface of the planet on the dawn of the One Year War shortly after reconstruction was completed, it has drifted back into the Earth Sphere along with allied alien ships, warning of an alien fleet bent on torching the Earth for reasons unknown...
Special Trait: The Power of Culture. Through an understanding of a crystalline substance known as Fold Quartz and Sound Wave Energy that it produces and interacts with, the idol singers of the Tactical Sound Units of the Macross can turn the tide of battle by either bolstering the morale of their allies or making the opposition question everything they know through their singing.

Global Defense Force
@Shade31415
Autonomous Military
Zodiac Alliance
Headquarters: Star Rose (Side 4)
Territories: None
Description: In the wake of the fighting on Earth came the first appearance of the Wulgaru, hostile aliens from beyond Jupiter who immediately inserted themselves into the conflicts around the Earth Sphere. Indiscriminately attacking any faction and succeeding in pushing closer to Earth, the Global Defense Force was formed as PLANT's response to fight against their encroachment through the use of AHSMB (Advanced High Standard Multipurpose Battle Devices), advanced mobile suits that have had the best results against the Wulgaru.
Special Trait: Gifts from Abroad. The GDF has access to unique technologies that allow them to fight on an even footing with the Wulgaru, as well as insight into their culture, from covert contacts with Wulgaru defectors.

Science Fortress Laboratory
@Nemesis_Scar
NGO
Zodiac Alliance
Headquarters: Science Fortress Laboratory (Mobile)
Territories: None
Description: Britannia's attack on the Photon Power Laboratories in January 0087 led to a hasty evacuation with the help of the Black Knights. With Professor Yumi captured and the original PPL mostly destroyed by Celestial Being's intervention, Acting Director Kouji Kabuto re-established Mazinger's organization aboard the submersible laboratory created by his father, escaping to Oceania and continuing to work to protect Japan and the world.
Special Trait: Ancient Secrets. The power of the Mazingers, although modern, is connected to an ancient alien civilization that's barely known of, let alone studied, and finding additional information about the Mycene can pay dividends in research.

Circle of Gaia
@Namaroff
NGO
Earth Federation
Headquarters: Paris (Europe)
Territories: Ecological Recovery Zones throughout the Earth
Description: Descended from eco-terrorist monkeywrenching groups of the 20th century, the Gaians emerged as a united movement in the intense ecological rehabilitation necessitated by the Colony Drops and other planet-rending catastrophes of the One Year War. They are a fanatical sect strongest among the Federation's institutions of applied sciences. After receiving an ongoing grant of funding from the Federation legislature, the Circle immediately moved from prioritizing the environmental engineering of damaged terran biomes to the social engineering of terrestrial humanity towards hardline preservationist ends. In the rehabilitation zones the Circle has been entrusted to manage, refugees are sometimes forced at Mobile Suit-scale bayonet point to emigrate to space, to lessen the population burden on the precious Earth. Despite their own mixed reputation, strong support for the colonization of areas of space lacking their own living ecosystems has made the Gaians butt heads with the Titans.
Special Trait: Headhunter Contracts. The Gaians' political pull and the nature of their work has led to them becoming the official enforcement arm of the Federation's population relocation program. Through selective enforcement of these policies, the Circle of Gaia can expropriate extra budget, or negatively affect other faction's recruiting.

The Benerit Group
@Nanolyte
NGO
Independent
Headquarters: Benerit Front (Side 4)
Territories: Special Economic Zones in Asia and Africa
Description: Formed in the crucible of the One Year War by old-guard defense contractors banding together, the Benerit Group is a corporate conglomerate with strong ties to the military-industrial complex and the exploitation of the Earth's damaged hinterlands. Its current president, PMC veteran Delling Rembran, maintains an iron grip on the Group through force of money and personality, and on the proliferation of exotic technologies and weapons in the Earth Sphere through his enforcement contracts with the Federation.
Special Trait: Permet Monopoly. Controlling the underpinnings of interplanetary communications greatly enhances the Group's ability to gather or suppress information, as well as giving access to alternative paths to certain man-machine interface technologies.

Earth Federation Forces
NPC
Coalition Military
Earth Federation
Capital: Dakar (Africa)
Territories: Africa, South America
Description: The Nation-States of Earth are, for the most part, members of the great supernation called the Earth Federation, which maintains its own military forces levied from its member states, though the constantly feuding Federation Council is loathe to actually use them and prefers separately-funded assets like the Titans. The Federation moves at the whim of the Nation-States that make it up, and isn't a playable nation in itself.
Special Trait: United Military. The Federation Forces are controlled by a majority vote of the Federation Council (currently Britannia, the AEU, and the Far Eastern Republic). Rather than an active faction, the EFF will act in the interests of the current Federation resolutions.

Zentradi Main Fleet
NPC
Roaming War-State
Independent
Capital: None
Territories: None
Description: The parent organization to the 67th Zentradi Fleet that the SDF Macross negotiated a truce with. The Zentradi as a whole do not recognize that truce and their scouts have been sighted in the Outer Solar System, likely intending to pursue the 67th as deserters. As a species, the Zentradi are giants with only a military and no culture to speak of, rendering their attitudes alien despite having a 99.9% genetic compatibility with humanity. Zentradi also reproduce solely by cloning, and their fleets are segregated into male and female (Meltrandi) factions that often war with each other, and they also appear to be hostile to the Wulgaru.
Special Trait: Noculture. Zentradi as a species are focused solely on the prosecution of war for its own sake, and have no other culture, rendering them...unpredictable when it comes to diplomacy.

Advanced European Union
@tankdrop24
Nation-State
Earth Sphere Union
Capital: Bremen (Europe)
Territories: Europe, North Africa, East Africa
Description: On paper, the AEU is an political union of democratic nations, and a subset of the greater Earth Federation. However, according to some outlandish rumors, true power in the AEU rests in the Romefeller Foundation, an alliance of corporate entities owned by aristocrats dating back to the 19th century. The Romefeller Foundation includes some of the largest arms manufactures in the Federation. Europe's economy has grown to have a massive war industry.
Special Trait: Wings of OZ, Shadows of Romefeller. The Romefeller foundation has established a strong web of influence both with the Federation's political structure, and within the Federation military itself, making it easier for it to manipulate events in its favor.

Far East Republic
@Hollewanderer
Nation-State
Earth Sphere Union
Capital: Beijing (Asia)
Territories: Asia
Description: Replacing the defunct Chinese Confederation at the start of the Universal Century, the Far Eastern Republic has weathered aggression from multiple other powers to remain a functioning democracy with de facto control and protection over much of the Asian mainland. At present, its main concerns are the ever-encroaching Britannians and the increasingly worrisome metaphysical distortions north of its borders.
Special Trait: Northern Patrols. FER excursions into the various anomalies in Siberia give them an unpredictable edge in learning new technologies and enhancing their soldiers' capabilities.

PLANT
@SirLagginton
Nation-State
Earth Sphere Union
Capital: Aprilius Colony (Side 1)
Territories: Side 1
Description: Founded as a safe haven and model society for Coordinators, humans genetically engineered for optimal capabilities and living in space, PLANT officially sat out the One Year War as a neutral state. Unofficially, the Coordinators look to Earth's brutal repression of other spacenoids and anti-genetic-engineering rhetoric with rapidly growing alarm, and an equally rapidly-growing army of home-grown mobile suits designed for Coordinator pilots.
Special Trait: Designer Humans. PLANT's Coordinator population is relatively small, but genetic specialization makes them very efficient at executing civic actions.

Neo-Zeon
@Aedan777
Nation-State
Neo-Zeon
Capital: Axis Colony (Mobile)
Territories: Side 3
Description: After the One Year War, those Zeonic forces that wouldn't lay down their arms but could escape Earth's gravity fled to the asteroid belt, taking with them a sizeable military, population, and gold reserve. Rallied under the recently deceased Admiral Maharaja Karn and behind the last surviving member of the Zabi family, Mineva Lao Zabi, the forces gathered at Axis Zeon are a significant worry for military planners in the Federation, and conflict with the Zeonic Successors is assumed to be an inevitability.
Special Trait: Heir to the Zabis. With the harmony of Mineva Lao Zabi and Haman Karn, and the successful reconquest of Side 3, Axis has cemented itself as the capital of a true Neo-Zeon.

Martian Union
@Spktr Alpha
Nation-State
Independent
Capital: Chryse (Mars)
Territories: Mars, Deimos
Description: During the chaos of the One Year War, the manufacturing and resource-extraction operations on Mars were left adrift, with a population long resentful of colonial rule and economic dependence on Earth. With their parent companies cut off, or even annihilated in the conflict, the League of Ruling Companies declared Home-Rule. With the aid of their own self-manufacted security forces, PMCs such as Tekkadan, and Mars's various liberationist militias and Earth Federation deserters, the League was able to force recognition of their independence after the dramatic coup within and defection of the Outer Earth Orbit Joint Regulatory Fleet. On paper, Mars is a democracy, while in practice it is a chaotic collection of factions: the League of Ruling Companies is the main economic power, held in check by the iron-willed and extremely popular President Kudelia Aina Bernstein and her loyal militias and PMCs, while the state's formal military under charismatic General McGillis Fareed is made up almost entirely of Earth Federation defectors who seek an orderly society. Even the League itself freqently clashes with each other, fighting proxy wars with their clandestine mercenaries known as 'Ravens'. All of this means that Mars is a land of infinite opportunity, whether for profit, power, or chaos.
Special Trait: League of Ruling Companies. The League of Ruling Companies, a semi-cooperative trust of major corporations, holds significant power on Mars and extends influence all the way back to Earth and Jupiter. Luna-based Anaheim Electronics, the Jovian-based Teiwaz, and the 'Martian Three' comprised of Balena, Emeraude, and Zio Matrix are all a part of this league. Mars's independence is guaranteed by the League's economic influence over politics, the law, and the very means of production throughout the Solar System.

Republic of Japan
@Sara
Nation-State
Earth Sphere Union
Capital: Tokyo, Japan (official); Kyoto, Japan (de facto)
Territories: Japan
Description: Declared in March UC0087 after the liberation of Britannia's "Area 11" by a coalition led by Zero the Black Knight, also known as Prince Lelouch vi Britannia. By agreement among the coalition, Japan was restored as an independent democracy with immediate Federation representation, and former radical and Getter Robo pilot Hayato Jin was swiftly proclaimed Interim President as the nation reconstructs itself after a decade of occupation.
Special Trait: Rising Sun of Democracy. With the successful overthrow of the Britannian regime, and a decade or more of experience running guerilla warfare among its leadership, revolutionary élan rules the day in Japan, vastly increasing national morale in fights where Japan's fledgling independence is threatened, especially by the old guard of Federation imperialists.

A-LAWS
@Ceslas
Autonomous Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: Side 7
Territories: Side 7
Headquarters: Jupitris (Mobile)
Territories: Side 7
Description: The corrupt Titans were purged, leaving the Earth Sphere Union in need of a more loyal and less horrendously war crimey sword. Paptimus Scirocco, seeing the writing on the wall, struck a deal with the mastermind behind the ESU's rise for him and his personal loyalists to remain in that role, albeit without the blanket criminal immunity. Equipped with the best of Jovian engineering and the resources of , the A-LAWS represent a new start for peacekeeping on Earth.
Special Trait: Scirocco Design Bureau. Between the genius mind of the Man from Jupiter and an unheard-of amount of computer-aided design, the A-LAWS outpace even the most advanced private concerns in developing new mobile weapon designs. "+" Mobile Suits and Mobile Armors cost 3/4 the normal production (1.5x base price, rather than 2x)

Londo Bell
@Carol
Autonomous Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: None (Guerillas)
Territories: None (Guerillas)
Description: With their assistance in forming the Earth Sphere Union and ejecting the old order from power, the AEUG was granted not only amnesty by the new government, but commission as an autonomous task force that would represent a united Earth Sphere response to threats to all of the Earth Sphere. How the former AEUG will fare working alongside the former Titans in the A-LAWS is an open question.
Special Trait: Vindicated by History. Reformed from the AEUG, Londo Bell represents moral objectors to the old Earth Federation and a continuity between the Earth Federation Forces and the ESU military. By being on the right side at the right time, Londo Bell has put itself in a position to receive extra volunteers transferring from the ESU regular forces.

Delaz Fleet
@Shrike
Autonomous Military
Neo-Zeon
Headquarters: None (Guerillas)
Territories: None
Description: A maverick Zeon remnant force formed around the Zabi family's Imperial Guard. Possessing mostly outdated mobile suits and a handful of large warships and specialty units, they have nonetheless become experts in guerilla warfare and terror strikes against the Federation in the intervening years.
Special Trait: Nightmares of Solomon. The One Year War veterans and experience in the Delaz Fleet mean that despite its small size, all of its elite units can fight more efficiently.

Britannia (Black Faction)
@Etranger
Autonomous Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: Flying Battleship Shrike (Guerillas)
Territories: South America (contested), Oceania (contested)
Description: Once upon a time, the Order of the Black Knights were a ragtag group of Japanese dissidents following the mysterious masked tactician, Zero. Now that Japan is independent and Zero has been revealed to the world as Lelouch vi Britannia, Eleventh Prince of Britannia, they've formed the core of a group supporting Lelouch's claim to the thrown, in an attempt to wrest half the planet Earth from the clutches of those who would stand athwart history and atop the necks of the oppressed (and are also, you know, supporting the legal heir).
Special Trait: Man of Miracles. With Zero's leadership, the Black Knights have a major advantage in ambushes, tactical retreats, and hit-and-run operations...as long as they're flashy.

United Nations Spacy
@theguynamedwafer
Autonomous Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: Macross City (Mobile)
Territories: None
Description: With the discovery of Alien Starship 1 (unfortunately abbreviated as ASS-1), a concerted scientific and military survey was conducted to uncover the secrets of both its origins and its exotic technologies. It was dubbed the SDF-1 Macross after a surface-level understanding of its systems and technologies was achieved and reconstruction was deemed possible. After it inexplicably vanished from the surface of the planet on the dawn of the One Year War shortly after reconstruction was completed, it has drifted back into the Earth Sphere along with allied alien ships, warning of an alien fleet bent on torching the Earth for reasons unknown...
Special Trait: The Power of Culture. Through an understanding of a crystalline substance known as Fold Quartz and Sound Wave Energy that it produces and interacts with, the idol singers of the Tactical Sound Units of the Macross can turn the tide of battle by either bolstering the morale of their allies or making the opposition question everything they know through their singing.

Global Defense Force
@Shade31415
Autonomous Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: Star Rose (Mobile)
Territories: None
Description: In the wake of the fighting on Earth came the first appearance of the Wulgaru, hostile aliens from beyond Jupiter who immediately inserted themselves into the conflicts around the Earth Sphere. Indiscriminately attacking any faction and succeeding in pushing closer to Earth, the Global Defense Force was formed as PLANT's response to fight against their encroachment through the use of AHSMB (Advanced High Standard Multipurpose Battle Devices), advanced mobile suits that have had the best results against the Wulgaru.
Special Trait: Gifts from Abroad. The GDF has access to unique technologies that allow them to fight on an even footing with the Wulgaru, as well as insight into their culture, from covert contacts with Wulgaru defectors.

Description: Good news, Japan is free and the team is back at Mt. Fuji. Bad news a lot of other stuff is at Mt. Fuji.
Special Trait: Ancient Secrets. The power of the Mazingers, although modern, is connected to an ancient alien civilization that's barely known of, let alone studied, and finding additional information about the Mycene can pay dividends in research.

Circle of Gaia
@Namaroff
NGO
Independent
Headquarters: Paris (Europe)
Territories: Ecological Recovery Zones throughout the Earth
Description: Descended from eco-terrorist monkeywrenching groups of the 20th century, the Gaians emerged as a united movement in the intense ecological rehabilitation necessitated by the Colony Drops and other planet-rending catastrophes of the One Year War. They are a fanatical sect strongest among the Federation's institutions of applied sciences. After receiving an ongoing grant of funding from the Federation legislature, the Circle immediately moved from prioritizing the environmental engineering of damaged terran biomes to the social engineering of terrestrial humanity towards hardline preservationist ends. In the rehabilitation zones the Circle has been entrusted to manage, refugees are sometimes forced at Mobile Suit-scale bayonet point to emigrate to space, to lessen the population burden on the precious Earth. Despite their own mixed reputation, strong support for the colonization of areas of space lacking their own living ecosystems has made the Gaians butt heads with the Titans.
Special Trait: The Phantom Pain. As the "moderate" Earth-first faction, and with the spin of rejecting overreach by the ESU rather than outright rebelling against it, the Circle of Gaia attracts genuine ideologues and disappointed defectors of the more militant anti-Spacian groups on Earth. The Circle receives bonus units when OMNI, the Britannian Empire (Schneizel Faction), or some autonomist rebels take losses.

The Benerit Group
@Nanolyte
NGO
Independent
Headquarters: Benerit Front (Side 4)
Territories: Special Economic Zones in Asia and Africa
Description: Formed in the crucible of the One Year War by old-guard defense contractors banding together, the Benerit Group is a corporate conglomerate with strong ties to the military-industrial complex and the exploitation of the Earth's damaged hinterlands. Its current president, PMC veteran Delling Rembran, maintains an iron grip on the Group through force of money and personality, and on the proliferation of exotic technologies and weapons in the Earth Sphere through his enforcement contracts with the Federation.
Special Trait: Permet Monopoly. Controlling the underpinnings of interplanetary communications greatly enhances the Group's ability to gather or suppress information, as well as giving access to alternative paths to certain man-machine interface technologies.

Earth Sphere Union Forces
NPC
Coalition Military
Earth Sphere Union
Headquarters: Dakar (Africa)
Territories: Africa, South America
Description: After the Dakar Conference, the Earth Federation was reformed into the Earth Sphere Union, a more representative body that maintained many of the same institutions as their predecessor, even as other states and statelets broke away from the radical reforms of the Earth Sphere's new organizing body. Approximately 2/3 of the Earth Federation Forces remained loyal and reorganized as the ESUF, along with hand-me-down equipment absorbed from the reorganized Titans.
Special Trait: United Military. The Union Forces are controlled by a majority vote of the Union Council (currently the AEU, the Far Eastern Republic, the Republic of Japan, and PLANT, with the disputed crown of Britannia serving as a tiebreaker). Rather than an active faction, the ESUF will act in the interests of the current Federation resolutions.

Description: Not all of the Earth Federation agrees with the Earth Sphere Union's reformation, calling it a coup by Coordinators, the legendary Organization of the Zodiac, or any of a dozen other conspiracies. The most fanatic members of the anti-Coordinator Blue Cosmos and anti-Spacian members of the Earth Federation Forces split from the government to form a rival organization, immediately designated terrorists by the ESU after taking responsibility for a nuclear attack on PLANT, taking around a third of the EFF's conventional forces with them, along with much of its infrastructure and deserters and adventurers from Britannia.
Special Trait: Our Blue and Pure World. Comprised with a core of fanatic Blue Cosmos devotees as it is, OMNI's Unity cannot fall below Great for any reason - although individual units may still choose to defect.

The legitimist faction in the succession war, led by Prince Schneizel and Princess Cornelia, seeks to uphold Britannia's dignity in the face of revolution...by whatever means necessary.
Special Trait: Cold-Blooded Strategist. Under Schneizel and Cornelia's leadership, Britannian forces keep cooler heads and stronger contingencies. Ambushes and guerilla warfare are less effective in battles where they are present.

Zentradi Main Fleet
NPC
Roaming War-State
Independent
Capital: None
Territories: None
Description: The parent organization to the 67th Zentradi Fleet that the SDF Macross negotiated a truce with. The Zentradi as a whole do not recognize that truce and their scouts have been sighted in the Outer Solar System, likely intending to pursue the 67th as deserters. As a species, the Zentradi are giants with only a military and no culture to speak of, rendering their attitudes alien despite having a 99.9% genetic compatibility with humanity. Zentradi also reproduce solely by cloning, and their fleets are segregated into male and female (Meltrandi) factions that often war with each other, and they also appear to be hostile to the Wulgaru.
Special Trait: Noculture. Zentradi as a species are focused solely on the prosecution of war for its own sake, and have no other culture, rendering them...unpredictable when it comes to diplomacy.
