United Earth Defense Corps

"'We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.' -Martin Luther King, Jr."

Origins
Following the threat of an alien colonization in 2037, the nations of mankind decided to form an alliance to counter it.

The alliance was then formalized as the "United Earth Defense Corps". A terrestrial defense force allocated to the protection of Earth and its natural satellite Luna (or the Moon)

Currently existing manpower were recruited from their previous occupations as soldiers or medical personnel. Numbers are said to increase over time as more people are trained for their roles.

Description
Formed by the 197 countries of the world and lead by the three superpowers, China, Russia and the United States of America where each nation has a role to play, whether militaristically or logistically.

The main bulk of the defense force consists of Human combatants (92.5%) while the minority is formed up by Multi-purpose robots (7.5%). With many divisions and battalions, the 5 main branches of the UEDC are the Combat Branch, Medical Branch, Science & Research Branch, Logistics Branch and the Engineering Branch, each with their different categories and sub-categories.

Flag Design
The design features the international flag of Earth originally designed by Oscar Penefeldt. It features 7 circles interlocked in harmony in the shape of a flower, this represents the 7 continents of earth depending on each other and how they are related to one another.

The symbol of a flower represents all life on Earth. The circle with two spikes at the poles of it symbolizes the Earth’s magnetic field which protects the planet from solar wind that contains charged particles capable of stripping away the ozone layer. Essentially, it represents the defense and protection of the Earth from cosmic intervention.

The Black/White gradient on the flag symbolizes the transitioning of dark and dire times to a future of hope and success.
