Background / History

Leon Castor founded the organization as the Umbrella Corporation at the CDC, intending to organize survivors as employees who would protect themselves and humanity. Its original three departments were Security, Engineering, and Logistics. 5 7

The early corporation recruited survivors through interviews, job assignments, material incentives, and a Contribution Point system that tied rank and work to living standards and exchangeable supplies. Its initial wage structure prioritized warriors, followed by technicians, civil servants, laborers, and the weak or disabled. 9 17 19 24

After incorporating survivors and resources throughout Georgia, Umbrella Corporation ceased operating as a private company on June 1, 2012. It was renamed the United Human Community, commonly called the Human Alliance, with Leon becoming President rather than emperor. Former employees automatically became residents with defined rights and obligations under a new constitution. 129

The reorganization followed an internal crisis caused by Freemason infiltration. Leon centralized authority, promoted supporters, placated wavering officials, and imprisoned firm opponents such as Rick before implementing the reforms. 126

Under the Outpost Network Plan, the Human Union began deploying advance teams throughout the United States to recruit survivors, establish outposts, and collect regional intelligence. 132 By the following years, it had consolidated Georgia and Florida, maintained more than one hundred outposts elsewhere in America, and developed into a semi-militarized society of over 50,000 residents. 161

The Human Union later covertly backed the Federation’s commoner rebellion, then moved to integrate the weakened Federation territory. During the process, its population approached 80,000 residents. 197 199 200 201

Resident Rights and Duties

Former Umbrella Corporation employees became Human Alliance residents during the reorganization. Residents were granted compulsory education, medical subsidies, pensions, personal safety, freedom, and respect; in return, they were required to obey Human Alliance orders and could face legal sanctions for harming its interests. 129

The organization also provides pensions to families of personnel killed in combat: 50% of the deceased employee’s weekly wage for 20 years. 82

External Policy

Other survivors	Stated Human Union response
Raiders or hostile groups	Defeat them; accept those who surrender and assign them labor to atone for previous crimes. 134
Peaceful survivors	Recruit them as members, provide protection and resources, and assign work according to their abilities. 134
Groups unwilling to join	Seek cooperative relations, trade resources, and provide mutual assistance where possible. 134

In practice, the Human Union’s policy is pragmatic rather than purely charitable. It refused Alexandria’s request for an alliance in favor of trade, stating that it emphasized “equality, mutual aid, and fair exchange,” not selfless dedication. 142

Operations and Capabilities

Military Forces

The Military Department fields professional soldiers under General William and five Colonels—Merle, Daryl, Frank, Glenn, and Aji—each assigned a legion. 129

• Maintained a Tank Corps of 200 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks during the Human Alliance’s founding parade. 129
• Operates armed drones, armed mechanical dogs, reconnaissance drones, armored vehicles, helicopters, naval forces, and military fortresses. 83 102 144 201
• Uses an elite Stinger Squad for high-risk combat, reconnaissance, and outpost establishment. 132
• Requires military personnel to undergo extensive training; the Military Academy had over 4,000 cadets, while regular soldiers completed a three-year training period. 162
• Expanded recruitment and imposed weekly military training for able-bodied residents aged 18 to 50 in preparation for war with the Freemasons. 206

Outpost Network

Leon created the Outpost Network Plan to establish a Human Union presence across America within one year rather than wait for gradual territorial expansion. 132

• Outposts recruit isolated survivors and gather regional intelligence. 132
• Initial advance scout teams combined two Stinger Squad members with five of Daryl’s personnel. 132
• More than 30 outposts had been established across most U.S. states within six months of the plan’s launch. 148
• The network later exceeded 100 outposts beyond the Georgia and Florida core territories. 161

Industry, Agriculture, and Civil Development

The Human Union rebuilt a functioning civilian economy rather than focusing solely on armed forces. 129 154

• Developed farms, livestock breeding operations, factories, fuel processing, coal mining, metal smelting, wood processing, and manufacturing facilities. 106 129 143
• Built schools, hospitals, shops, parks, housing, and entertainment venues including a cinema, dessert shop, and bar. 137 149
• Connected the Georgia and Florida bases with a railway system. 161 168
• Used the Contribution Point system to distribute supplies and link work performance to quality of life. 19 24
• Prioritized specialist recruitment, treating surviving technical personnel as valuable remnants of the Old Era. 17 161

Research and Zombie Technology

The Human Union maintains extensive biological and technological research programs focused on the Zombie Virus, mutations, weapons, and medical treatment. 106 129

• Researchers identified Z Element from the Spider Monster as a possible Zombie Virus inhibitor, though it carries a mutation risk. 106
• Studies infected humans, mutant zombies, parasites, and bioweapons recovered from hostile laboratories. 50 137 189
• Developed enhancement serums, hypnotic agents, corrosive heat guns, corpse-odor spray, and other zombie-related auxiliary products. 201
• Developed miniature nuclear batteries, large electric vehicles, and first-generation power armor. 197
• Power armor increases carrying capacity by three to five tons or more and can mount heavy armor and weapons, though its first generation has coordination and handling flaws. 197

Intelligence and Internal Security

The Human Union uses satellite surveillance, reconnaissance teams, spies, and its outpost network to monitor threats. 132 136

• Kevira oversees internal security as Police Minister after Freemason infiltration revealed that unknown spies remained within the organization. 132
• Professor Marlock’s research center conducts hypnosis and brainwashing; the Human Union used these capabilities against spies and later in covert Federation operations. 132 197
• During the Federation’s internal strife, Human Union agents secretly armed rebels, used the Salvation Army’s name as cover, and were authorized to kill or control key figures if necessary. 197
• The organization’s covert intervention helped trigger the Federation’s revolution and subsequent integration into the Human Union. 199 200
