United Human Federation

Humanity is nominally ruled by the United Human Federation government on the Earth's moon, Luna. The federal government is closely intertwined with the mega-corporations. In essence, the federal government passes laws and organizes taxes and spending, while the mega-corps run day-to-day life for most of humanity, funneling resources upwards to the 'Gaians' who live secluded on Earth in opulent luxury. Because of their true power over humanity and their ridiculous resources, Gaians dictate their needs to the federal government, forming a shadow government. As such, what few representatives humanity has in the United Human Federation government are merely for show. The true system is a plutocratic late-stage capitalist society, which is threatened by the Machina.

Machina were initially discovered in Stellar year 246 when they arrived at the moons of Titania and Oberon in the Uranus system. As footage and reports made it to Earth, it prompted the Gaians there to seek preventive and jingoist policy against the Machina. Humanity was directed by the rulers on Earth to wage war against the Machina, firstly by throwing the UOF into combat against the Machina, and then later passing the R.E.P.A.I.R. Bill. The bill passed both houses of human government unanimously in the Stellar Year 250. In addition to the authorization of the new military arm and its funding, the R.E.P.A.I.R. Bill contained numerous new laws authorizing REPAIR personnel to conscript any human with an acceptable affinity for their nanomachines and augmentation procedures.

Currently, both the regular military and REPAIR are fighting the Machina on the orders of the Gaians. The overall command of the military is known as the United Operations Forces, and their two departments are the United Operations Army and the United Operations Navy. REPAIR act as a special forces organization, deploying to strike special targets to assist the overall war effort, but not necessarily fighting alongside the common human soldiers. REPAIR is generally authorized to operate above many human laws, and reports only to the Commander-in-Chief of the United Operations Forces. For the most part, REPAIR operates outside of the public eye with a few unique personnel who operate as PR for the organization. Opinions are mixed within the general populace and even within the UOF itself, with many humans being suspicious of the cyborg women. The Gaians are willing to provide all the funding and propaganda needed to support REPAIR as they combat the Machina, as they see the Machina as an existential threat to their power.
