History
EarthGov was formed sometime prior to the 23rd Century following a series of conflicts and disasters that plauged earth during the late 21st Century. EarthGov siezed power and control over all independent national governments on earth during the events of Aegis VII. It is also speculated that EarthGov seized even more power during post-21st century conflicts such as the Bearing Sea Conflict and the Global Warming Epidemic that decimated the global economy and many soveriegn states allowing EarthGov to seize control. Following the instabilities that plauged earth, the new global government set up administrative regions based on geographical regions.

Secession War
Around the late 23rd-early 24th Century, the Sovereign Colonies had been created and began to oppose EarthGov for their tyrannical policies and authoritarian style government. This resulted in an armed conflict that was fought on both earth and the human colonies. The Earth Defense Force then went up against the Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces and eventually SCAF took a mining expedition to dig up the Black Marker on Tau Volantis.
