ADVENT

The Allied Delegation for the Virtuous Embrace of the Necessary Truth, abbreviated ADVENT is a supranational organization whose purpose is publicly stated as to foster friendly relations between humanity and the Elders, maintain global peace and security, harmonize the actions of the world's nations, and oversee humanitarian projects around the world. In practice, it is the political arm of the occupation force employed by the faction of Ethereals known as the Elders before any other priority. ADVENT is headquartered on international territory in Providence where the majority of its central offices are located.

ADVENT was established following the capitulation of the United Nations to the Elders' invasion force under the pretense of integrating Earth into the interstellar domain of the Elders in exchange for the end of hostilities, assistance in the redevelopment of the world's population centers, and access to advanced biotechnology and computing technology, though the former came at the cost at continuous, often involuntary medical testing on humans.
