It should be noted that some organizations have more points than they 'should' by rights; This is because the UGC has been around for over 500 years, and because assets (points) not used by one agency can be transferred to another. |

The largest (and most important) agencies in the UGC are the Federated Bank, The Office Of The Council, the Galactic Investigation Services, the Galactic Survey Agency (needed to expand the empire), the Merchant Marine (mostly a licensing and oversight agency), and curiously the Patrol (to maintain safe operation of starships, needed to ensure the economy of the empire remains strong). The Merchant Marine is small in size and scope, but without it the UGC would actually die away. |

The UGC is primarily protected not by massive walls of steel, but by the knowledge that the UGC Militry Armed Forces will retaliate, with extreme (even excessive, if circumstances permit) force against anyone who attacked her.The Patrol very much IS a part of the MAF, and though small in size, is massive in scope; There is no aspect of the MAF not influenced in one way or another by the Patrol; When Marines or Army need to make a landing, that's the Patrol. Under fire. Heavy fire. The fact that they have a job in peacetime does not effect this. |

Mercenary Forces. |
---|
Due to certain technicalities of law, "mercenary" forces must be the legal, lawfully established armies of UGC-Allied states*. How exactly those states choose to employ their forces is their own concern, with the exception of the RDF's (as the Council does pay for those).The only noteworthy exceptions are national guards and militias, which are at least theoretically an "army" of a state. |
The Brotherhood Of Steel.The Earth was in Chaos; Then Army "deserters" stepped forward to take control and re-establish order.Homeworld: Ceres.
| La L'egion 'Etrange're"La L'egion 'Etrange're" is literally the ancient French Foreign Legion of Terra, surviving to this day; It was not rebuilt, it SURVIVED four Robotech Wars. Such was the heroic efforts of the Legion that the UGC codified their existence as a state unto themselves.Homeworld: Montana (RTF-44371). |
Swiss Custodes (The Swiss Guard).The Swiss Guard is the Honor Guard and Militia of the Vactican. After "Conjugium Deos," it became the "official" defenders of all faiths.Homeworld: Terra (Vatican). | UGC Special Battalions ("Sierra Bravos" or "The Lost Battalions").Special Battalions are made up of UGC militry convicts.Homeworld: Tumper.

*: "State" refers to any lawfully established ruling entity; The legal definition is "a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory, especially one that is sovereign or the political organization of such a body of people." This includes cities, counties, provinces, states, nations, systems, marches, federations, alliances, republics, confederations, leagues, and any other collections of systems that band together as one body politic, in the case of the UGC usually former empires.The Brotherhood Of Steel, Swiss Custodes, and a few other "mercenary" factions managed to dodge the stricter, finer points of the law by organizing under other states (in the case of the BOS as the 'militia' of Eureka, the Swiss Custodes under the Vatican). Le L'egion circumvented the matter by forming a political body unto themselves. | Because of confusion on chain of command, the REF established a definitive "pecking order" to these merc units:- Brotherhood Of Steel/Swiss Custodes Officer Corps (when acting in Mission Commander role)
- UGC Task/Strike Force Commander;
- All other UGC Officers;
- Brotherhood Of Steel/Swiss Custodes Officer Corps (when not in Mission Commander role);
- L'egion 'Etrange're Officer Corps;
- Special Battalion CO (XO as applicable);
- UGC/L'egion 'Etrange're Enlisted Corps;
- Brotherhood Of Steel/Swiss Custodes Enlisted Corps;
- All other mercenries/PMC's;
- Irregular Militias and other paramilitry entities;
- Any armed civilian;
- All other contractors;
- Pets and livestock;
- Sierra Bravos (aren't even in charge of themselves).
