Gaia Sabers
Following the dissolution of the Earth Federation, a new cross-nation Bloc Force was created by the New United Nations Earth: the Gaia Sabers.
Headed by Alteur Steinbeck, the Gaia Sabers took all of NUNE’s forces under one banner. The Britannian Union, Advanced European Union and Republic of East Asia combined all their national forces into one ‘super army’ to consolidate against the outside threats of organizations, including Celestial Being, the Oceania Cooperative Union, the Organization of African Consolidation and the Anti-Earth Cooperative Federation.
The Gaia Sabers are bolstered by former G-Hound forces and secretive organizations like the Order of the Zodiac, the Romefeller Foundation, the Innovators and LOGOS, as well as LOGOS’ puppet organizations Blue Cosmos and Phantom Pain.
In addition to the existing Earth Forces, the Gaia Sabers have a number of extra-Solar organizations working under their banner: the Gilgamesh Confederation, the alien data-beings of System Security and the zealots of The Clawed Man. While these groups do not necessarily share the goals of NUNE, they are happy to work with and under them in order to meet their own agendas, be it the crushing of the Yaman Rebellion or the acquisition of technology.
While the normal forces of the Gaia Sabers are structured like a military, the Innovators, System Security and certain elites have Autonomous Action licenses - permission from the NUNE government to act as they will in pursuit of the agenda. These licenses are restricted but powerful things, and members with them have to cross a pretty severe line to face sanctioning or punishment.
Overall, the Gaia Sabers are an authoritarian force, bent on creating order throughout the Earth Sphere. At the moment, their order in a chaotic time seems to be helping the nations in which they operate… but they are watched heavily by non-NUNE organizations, fearing a second coming of the Titans. Time will tell if their fears are founded.
Major Characters
Alteur Steinbeck - A veteran of the One Year War and Gryps Conflict turned environmentalist turned G-Hound office, Alteur Steinbeck now leads the Gaia Sabers in their efforts to exert order on the Earth Sphere. Steinbuck is a man with a singular grip on the pulse of the Earth Sphere and irons in many fires.
Schneizel el Britannia - Prime Minister of Britannia, Schneizel el Britannia is a pragmatic and ruthless strategist and military commander, taking a personal interest in maintaining Britannia’s interests within the Gaia Sabers. Schneizel has no desires of his own save the ambition to take the throne, something his work with the Gaia Sabers is merely a stepping stone for.
Ribbons Almark - The leader of the Innovators - and an Innovade himself - Ribbons Almark is one of the strongest powers within the Gaia Sabers, and a major architect of their rise to power. Ribbons believes himself superior to humanity, and to rule them is his right and duty. If Humanity is to become something greater, Ribbons has decided it will do so on his terms… and will brook no argument.
The Clawed Man - A wildcard from beyond the Solar System, the Clawed Man leads a group of zealots that the Gaia Sabers have presently decided are useful. The Clawed Man doesn’t have any interest in the greater goals of the Gaia Sabers, but simply in their use for his goal of a peaceful world. His strategy for doing this remains unknown, but for now, The Clawed Man and the Gaia Sabers are allies - for as long as that lasts.
