UESC
United Earth Space Council. Earth's governing body and the operator of the Marathon mission.
Description
The United Earth Space Council is the governing body of Earth and humanity's interstellar efforts in the Marathon universe. The UESC funded and oversaw the construction of the Marathon colony ship and the establishment of the Tau Ceti IV colony. After the Pfhor invasion, the UESC's response is constrained by the vast distances of interstellar space — help cannot arrive quickly enough to save the colonists.
Data
- Full name: United Earth Space Council
- Role: Earth government / interstellar colonisation authority
- Assets: UESC Marathon (colony ship), Tau Ceti IV colony
- Response to Pfhor attack: Delayed by interstellar distance
