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, the ''LC'' areis forced to head to ''Earth'' in order to secure minerals to build their ''Evacuation Ship'' (due to the ''Moonmoon''s general lack of accessible resources, in real life as well as in the gameingame). ''The Lunar Corporation'' is by far the most technologically advanced of the three factions, utilizing ''' solar power ''' as well as ''' antigravity vehicles ''' (explained,by inreverse-engineering theabandoned game,extraterrestrial astechnology afound resultbeneath ofthe researching extraterrestrialmoon's technologiessurface). Because of this, they do not build trenches or dig tunnels like the [[E2150 - United Civilized States - UCS|''UCS'']] and [[E2150 - Eurasian Dynasty - ED|''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 of Escape From The Blue Planet, the forces of the ''LC'' are further bolstered by the solitaryunique alien craft known as the '''''The Fang''''', a gift from the [[E2150 - United Civilized States - UCS|''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 decimatingdisposing any opponent it comes across—thatacross is,— until its ammoit runs out of ammo, that is. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2150] Earth 2150 Wikipedia page</ref>

'''''John Fisher''''', founder of the '''''Lunar Corporation''''' was born in 1976. He was startingstarted as a poor scientist in a small private laboratory. His fascination with the cosmos made clear that it wasn’t enough for his ambitions. He wanted to take mankind into space. He had convinced 10ten wealthy industrialists to sponsor his project. In 2002 he was appointed head of the ''Lunar Corporation''.

The '''''LC''''' was growing rapidly, making tremendous technological stridesadvances. 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 gatheringgetting worse. This was an opportunity for the ''LC'', which was charging exorbitant sums from the wealthy for tiny but relatively safe residences in ''Orbital City I''. Due to the high demand, the ''LC'' began construction of ''Orbital City II'' and the 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 comingimpending atomic bloodbath war. The ''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 ''Lunar Corporation'' '''ultimately severed all contact with ''Earth'''''. ''The ''Luna I'' city was self-sufficient with an independent community. It was governed by 10ten people on the '''''Supervisory Board''''' of the ''Lunar Corporation''. ''John Fisher'' was voted in as the first president.

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 startedthem to grumble - loudly. The ''Supervisory Board'' tightened discipline and forced obedience from the citizens. In response the citizens revolted. OldishThe old 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. TruceA truce brought some stability to the colony. The community elected a judge to the ''Supervisory Board'', and his taskjob was to stop friction between the population and the government. He had the 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.'''

NewThe new philosophy of ''LunaLuna’s''’s residents was '''''“a man’s worth as an individual is based on the benefit he brings to the society”'''''. A citizen’s status was defined by his knowledge, skills and diligence and how he put those to workgood use. Every child leaving elementary school was givenundergoing a test for individual skills and assigned into thean occupation deemed most beneficial to the colony. In the social hierarchy scientists were at the top, since they were responsible for the colony’s future.

In order to improve the living conditions, thereresearch groups were formed research groups forto examiningexamine the ''Moonmoon’s''’s surface. In 2061, a scientific expedition encountered a series of caves with a high radiationlevels levelof radiation. Inside, they found '''a deserted alien base'''. The research lasted for many years, with the laboratory set up near discoverythe site and expanding until it became separate city itself with the name '''''Luna II'''''. Around this time '''a wrecked alien space ship''' was found off the coast of the ''Mare Imbrium''. Extensive examinations showed that it possessed '''anti-gravitational propulsion'''. ItAfter took 6six years of intensiveextensive research to understand this technology, so the scientistscientists could proudlyfinally present itanti-gravitational technology to the lunar colonypublic. In 2070, some very '''peculiar crystals''' had been discovered. Putting them in a strong magnetic field was causing theirthem rapidto expandingexpand rapidly and absorbingabsorb elements from the ground around them. Further research allowed to utilize these crystals in the construction of vehicles and buildings as a very inexpensive way of enhancing their resistancestructural soundness.

At the end of the 70s2070s the ''LC'' started '''a ''Mars'' terra-forming project'''. In 2085 the first unmanned anti-gravitational ship was sent to ''Mars'' on a fact-findingrecon mission. thenMore more were sentfollowed in 2090. The agendapurpose was to make ''Mars'' a great place to live in 100one hundred terrestrial years. Meanwhile, alien technology of magnetic shields enabled construction of space ships capable of interplanetary travel without exposing passengers to cosmic and solar radiation. The next 50fifty years were spent sending ships to ''Mars''. A man-made greenhouse effect increased the temperature to 15 °C, rising a little each year. The scientistsScientists predicted that in 20twenty years they could melt the ice capcaps to provide enough water to sustain life on the ''Redred Planetplanet''. Because of the '''''Great War'' on ''Earth''''', a threat of cosmic disasterproportions arose which would engulftake the ''Moonmoon'' with it as well. Facing this reality, the citizens of ''Luna'' turned their efforts to constructingmake yet anothera home, for themselves far enough away from the ''Blueblue Planetplanet''. Unfortunately, this project required lotsvast amounts of natural resources, far more than the barren ''Moonmoon'' could offerever provide. FindingAcquiring them on the plunged in war-torn ''Earth'' was the only solution.
