OAC Forces

(This file is not a general summary of the Organization of African Consolidation.)

The Organization of African Consolidation is Britannia's most direct rival, in some ways; leaving research to its partners in the AEU has allowed it to instead invest in nearly every other element of its infrastructure. It holds both a mass driver and an orbital elevator, and has reinvested this money into both civilian infrastructure and a very functional military.

The OAC has exceptional fortifications in general, but none so mighty as its fortress city in South Africa. Johannesburg's extreme fortifications proved impenetrable to the Zeon Army -- a claim not even the Federation headquarters at Jaburo could make. While not known for certain, it is generally agreed that the colony drop stopped by Jamil Neate (as opposed to the one that he didn't) most likely targeted a major OAC holding, either Johannesburg or La Tour.

The OAC is a fiercely-drilled, thoroughly-disciplined defensive military. However, the further you get from Johannesburg, the weaker both of those things become. Northern Africa has been a major staging point for multiple invasions of Earth, and is currently partially occupied by ZAFT.

Key Questions

• When we share a system with someone larger and more belligerent than we are, are the benefits of mutual aid worth their costs?
• How do we live up to our obligations without being used and discarded?
