Earth Defence Council
The Earth Defence Council is the main governing body over Earth and her military.
History
Not much is known of the EDC, but it is sure that it is responsible for running the EDF and ensuring resource extraction efforts on Mars.
The EDC was most likely formed during the 2050's, the presumed era the Earth Defence Force was formed, and ensures that all citizens living on Earth, live a pleasant life, but it is possible that the EDC is hiding a number of secrets from the general populace, such as the treatment of colonists on Mars, both in the years of 2075-78 and 2128.
