Federated Union of Earth (
Chiyuu Renpou)
by
Eugene Ipavec, 31 december 2004
The Federation (formally, the Federated Union of Earth) is an UN-style world government that is liberal and somewhat democratic but is also corrupt, overbearing, oligarchic, paralyzed with bureaucracy and rather incompetent-and which gets progressively less liberal and democratic as the series' timeline progresses, on top. The Federation's flag is not featured that often-it never appears in the original series at all. It is, however, shown waving during the title sequence of Gundam episode 0083: Stardust Memory, where the design can be made out very clearly, though the colors are a bit iffy because of poor lighting. The flag seems to be modeled after that of the UN, with the Earth in the center of a blue field, with the diamond-shaped field possibly lifted from the Brazilian flag in a subtle attempt to suggest the Federation's somewhat banana-republic-like tendencies toward instability and repression.

Earth Federal Forces (Renpou-Gun)
by
Eugene Ipavec, 31 december 2004
The flag of the Earth Federal Forces, the Earth Federation's military. The central symbol is a variant on the Federation's arms. This flag actually appears in the original series, in the scene where General Reville is being welcomed at the captured Zeonic asteroid fortress of Solomon, as well as in the
Gundam: The Origin manga, at the signing of the Antarctic Treaty. This may mean that the EFF flag also serves as the flag of the Federation during the One Year War period, due to the interruption of civilian control. If so, the 'earth' design is restored to use at some point between the end of the war in Jan. 0080 and early 0083.

This banner can be seen hanging at the back of the hall during the court-martial scene in Gundam:The 08th MS Team. I would guess it is a ceremonial version of the EFF flag.

Space arm of the Federal Forces
by

The flag of the space arm of the Federal Forces. The acronym stands for 'United Nations Troops Spacy', though the official translation has used the term 'Earth Federation Space Forces,' which also appears onscreen. The U.N.T. Army and Navy presumably also have flags, but they are never shown in the animations. This flag can be seen in a newspaper photo in Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, announcing the signing of an armistice to conclude the One Year War. The picture is in b&w, but as the symbol of the Federal Forces is shown frequently on spacecraft and uniform patches and is always red-and-gold, it is a reasonable assumption that this color scheme carries over to the flag. When shown on display screens the initials U.N.T. are punctuated, but on the treaty-signing flag they are not.

Titans Corps
by
Eugene Ipavec, 31 december 2004
Three years after the conclusion of the war, the Delaz incident--a series of massive terrorist attacks--prompts a turn toward authoritarianism within the Federation. A new branch of the Federal Forces is established for the task of maintaining internal security and supressing anti-Federation militancy: the Titans Corps. Their flag appears now and then in Zeta Gundam, often behind Jamitov Heimann at press conferences. There is another version, with a more stylized bird and lacking the red star.
