The '''''Lunar Corporation (LC)''''' is a dominated by women (but not consisting only of them) faction of space colonists who colonized '''''the Moon''''' and cut themselves off from ''Earth'' soon after the 3rd World War. Normally a pacifist faction, ''LC'' are forced to head to ''Earth'' in order to secure minerals to build their ''Evacuation Ship'' (due to the ''Moon''s general lack of accessible resources, in real life as well as in the game). ''The Lunar Corporation'' is by far the most advanced of the three factions, utilizing ''' solar power ''' as well as ''' antigravity vehicles ''' (explained, in the game, as a result of researching extraterrestrial technologies). Because of this, they do not build trenches or dig tunnels like the ''UCS'' and ''ED''. Also, instead of constructing buildings like the other two factions, the ''Lunar Corporation'' is able to transport them from orbit to the battlefield. In combat, they use exotic weapons such as ''' electro-cannons and sonic weapons ''' (originally a mining equipment). ''LC'' units are typically fast and technologically advanced, but fragile. In the single-player campaign, the forces of the ''LC'' are further bolstered by the solitary alien craft known as the '''''Fang''''', a gift from the ''UCS'' in exchange for an alliance. Although losing this one-of-a-kind unit means instant failure, the ''Fang'''s weapon is capable of easily decimating any opponent it comes across—that is, until its ammo runs out. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2150]</ref>
===== Beginnings =====
'''''John Fisher''''', founder of '''Lunar Corporation''' was born in 1976. He was starting as a poor scientist in a small private laboratory. His fascination with the cosmos made that it wasn’t enough for his ambitions. He wanted to take mankind into space. He had convinced 10 wealthy industrialists to sponsor his project. In 2002 he was appointed head of the ''Lunar Corporation''. ▼

In 2002 he was appointed head of the ''Lunar Corporation''.
'''''LC''''' was growing rapidly, making tremendous technological strides. In 2012-2014 the corporation took over the American ''NASA organization''. In 2025 construction began on an orbital city and in 2034 ''The Orbital City I'' was officially opened. The situation on ''Earth'' was deteriorating - the political tensions and an ever-deepening economic depression were gathering. This was an opportunity for ''LC'', which was charging exorbitant sums from wealthy for tiny but relatively safe residences in ''Orbital City I''. Due to the high demand ''LC'' began construction of ''Orbital City II'' and far more ambitious '''''Luna Project''''' of the first permanent settlements on the ''Moon''. In 2040 every sane person knew that the only way of survival was to move far away from the coming atomic bloodbath war. ''Lunar Corporation'' focused all its resources (suspending work on ''Orbital City II'') on the ''Luna Project''.
Work on the lunar city progressed rapidly, with people moving into each new sector the moment its construction was complete. When war on ''Earth'' did finally break out in 2048, all ''Orbital City'' citizens were moved to ''Luna'' and
The majority of the inhabitants had been extremely wealthy people who had led very comfortable lives on ''Earth''. Living in rough, primitive conditions and hard, physical labor caused they started to grumble. The ''Supervisory Board'' tightened discipline and forced obedience from the citizens. In response the citizens revolted. Oldish president was unable to take full control of the situation. The rebellion was being suppressed with the violence, and by pushing its ringleaders through an air lock. Soon after that ''John Fisher'' died. His loss was mourned by the entire colony and served to stifle the aggression of the two opposing sides. Truce brought some stability to the colony. The community elected a judge to the ''Supervisory Board'', and his task was to stop friction between the population and the government. He had power to remove the membership status of any ''Supervisory Board'' member whose attitude might destabilize the colony, but he wasn’t participating in the daily running of the colony. '''''John Fisher''’s son became the new president.'''
