During the events of AD 2307, near the end of Celestial Being's ''World Armed Intervention Campaign'', victory was near at hand. The Union, AEU, and HRL was near the brink of complete military collapse as [[Team Trinity]] entered the fray and not only crippled their all opponents, but took measures forward to attacking their manufacturing facilities that prevented them from building new machines of war. With all measures exhausted, the 3 military powers seriously considered giving Celestial Being (CB) their unconditional surrender. However, the game changed when CB agents with their own agendas, [[Alejandro Corner]] and [[Laguna Harvey]], stepped in and gave them a fighting chance.

The 3 world governments were each given 10 [[GN Drive Tau]]s, a total of 30, and mobile suits for them to utilize for battle. It wasn't long that the 3 governments united their military might and called themselves the UN Forces. With the power of the GNX mobile suits, they chased away [[Team Trinity]] and forced them into retreat. UN Forces would quickly mount a new counter-offensive against the Ptolemy team by finishing them off in their own campaign titled: ''Operation Fallen Angels.'' While CB wasn't fully confirmed defeated, it was an opportunity to give the world relief that their governments was strong and competent in destroying CB. Not confirming their demise would be their undoing.

Under the shadow leadership of [[Innovators (Group)| Innovators]], the ESF created their own shadow task force, A-Laws. Though they claim A-Laws is a front-line deterrent against any organization that would threaten their government and peace, it was their mission to subjugate and control any nations that refused to join the ESF charter. The last to resist were pockets of Middle Eastern countries that still have the ability to resist. With Ribbons extending Veda's capabilities for A-laws, none of the ESF citizens were aware their governments actions as all forms of media were censored thanks to Veda's abilities.

In Season 2 it turns out, that the Federation is using the A-Laws to suppress any anti-Federation organizations and countries. This is often done by using violence which has already caused the death of tens of thousands. The general population is however ignorant of this fact. Also the high-ranking members of both the Federation and A-Laws are in league with the [[Innovators (Innovade Group)|Innovators]].

The real reporters and various people who suffered under the ESF banded together and became the coalition known as Katharon.

Birth of the ESF

By AD 2310, the 3 world governments would reform their military and governments into a singular unified force: The Earth Sphere Federation. Ironically, as much as the world may detested and feared CB, they succeeded in creating a new era of peace by unifying the majority of the world under a single government. Unfortunately, this government wasn't everything people hoped.

World Unification Campaign

Under the shadow leadership of Innovators, the ESF created their own shadow task force, A-Laws. Though they claim A-Laws is a front-line deterrent against any organization that would threaten their government and peace, their true mission was to subjugate and control any nations that refused to join the ESF charter. The last to resist were pockets of Middle Eastern countries that still have the ability to resist. However the ESF had other means other than force.

With GN technology in their hands, they actively vented GN particles throughout the Middle East in attempts to choke out the last pockets of resistance. They created strict economic policies, media suppression, proxy wars, and technology suppression in all attempts to financially cripple nations to force them to join the ESF. When all else fails, the Innovators and/or A-Laws would subjugate the country under false pretenses. With Ribbons extending Veda's capabilities for A-laws, none of the ESF citizens were aware their government's actions in all forms of media were censored thanks to Veda's abilities.

While the large majority of the public was blissfully unaware of the ESF's actions, there were those who were fully aware. Reporters that once reported the truth were replaced with false reporters. The real reporters and various people who suffered under the ESF banded together and became the coalition known as Katharon. They and others against the ESF began their own campaign by creating their own intelligence networks and guerrilla attacks to bring attention to their cause. Because the ESF controls all of the media, Katharon was portrayed as a terrorist group to the blinded eye. Those captured were arrested were taken to secret anti-ESF detention facilities where they are interrogated and potentially tortured to release the names and locations of their resistance cells.

Because of the A-Laws use of Memento Mori, many in the regular army have become dissident of the government's policies. After the superweapon's destruction at the hands of Celestial Being, the government then granted the A-Laws direct control of the regular army to reinforce the security of the world. Among these dissidents is Colonel Pang Hercules. However, his insurrection failed and the Federation secretary of defense became the first president and placed regular army under complete control of the A-Laws, thus making the A-Laws the most powerful force on Earth. The A-Laws launched a campaign to destroy Celestial Being, but Katharon and ESF Coup d'état Faction intervened. Then all three factions fought the Innovators.

After the A-Laws were exposed thanks to the efforts of Celestial Being, Katharon and the ESF Coup d'état Faction, a more idealistic president was elected and disbanded the force, as well as returning the sovereignty of the independent nations who were attacked and reorganizing the Earth Sphere Federation Forces and the Federation as a whole. The president promoted cooperation with other nations into order create a true unified Earth.

Two years later, the Earth Sphere Federation established a pacifist policy in order to make up for the atrocities committed by A-Laws and the Innovators. Eventually, the ESF discovers the newly emerging Innovators throughout the world, and they are used to further peaceful understanding between nations.

Government

The Federation's main political governing body is the Federation Parliament. It handles the day-to-day administration of the Federation's territory. The regime in 2312 is extremely corrupt, taking advantage of Veda's real-time information control to distort the facts and cover up the crimes committed by the A-Laws. The current president of the Federation usually follows "recommendations" from the Innovators, essentially reducing him to a figurehead.

After the defeat of A-Laws and the destruction of the Innovators under Ribbons Almark, a new administration takes power, pledging to create a true Earth Sphere Federation. The new female President also promises to bring the A-Laws to justice over their abuse of power, crimes against humanity, and general disregard for non-Federation states. The female President also try to promote membership of the Earth Sphere Federation for and providing aid for non-Federation nations and set up three policies while dismantling the A-Laws.

Military

The Earth Sphere Federation military is the largest armed force in the world, comprising of the combined military might of the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations, the Human Reform League, the Advanced European Union, and the few (if any) miscellaneous member states. The regular armed forces' primary mobile suit is the same GN-XIII model which also utilized by the A-Laws. However, due to the sheer size of the Federation, the military also uses older generation mobile suits such as the Union Flag and AEU Enact. The Federation military maintains a vast armada of warships for both Earth-side and space use.

In 2312 AD, a faction of the Federal military staged a coup d'etat within the Africa Tower orbital elevator, taking 40,000 citizens hostage. The mastermind of the coup, Colonel Pang Hercules, intended to reveal the atrocities committed by the A-Laws to the people by releasing the hostages to Earth. However, the intervention by A-Laws within the tower caused a number of casualties among the hostages, while manipulating the information in the media to reflect the casualties as the doing of the coup forces. In the end, most of the coup forces, including Colonel Hercules, and the Africa Tower were destroyed by A-Laws.

Four months after the destruction of the Africa Tower by the second Momento Mori superweapon, Colonel Kati Mannequin of A-Laws led a second coup faction (presumably comprised of the remnants of Hercules' group) in a ambush against the main A-Laws fleet using their own transport ship while the A-Laws fleet was engaged in combat against Celestial Being and Katharon. A-Laws, at the end of season two, was ultimately defeated after information of their massacres and information control spreaded and was later, dismantled by the new female Federation President. Despite being dismantled, some of the A-Laws military technologies and warships, especially the Baikal-Class were still used by the Earth Sphere Federation military forces. The military forces also controlled the CBS Celestial Being as well as the Veda and utilized it as a military command base, information and intelligence center(due to the Veda) and a assault platform in the final battle against the ELS. Most of the military forces were later assamilated by the ELS during the final battle while the CBS Celestial Being was almost assamilated by the ELS.
