The Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA) are the overarching antagonists of The Last of Us franchise.
It is a government agency in the United States tasked with responding to the Cordyceps brain infection (CBI) pandemic. Despite being a background faction, various individuals (including soldiers and drafted civilian workers) working under their auspices are seen.
Overview[]
After the outbreak of CBI (Cordyceps Brain Infection) in September, 2013, FEDRA, resposible to deal with disasters, worked with the U.S government to contain it. They were often at odds with the government for their extreme measures, such as executing American citizens. Shortly after, the World Health Organization announced that the latest Cordyceps vaccination tests had failed. With this, FEDRA revealed on televesion that the fascist bureacracts government had been removed from power, which allowed them to seized control of the U.S. government and armed forces, declaring martial law.
They also set up quarantine zones, moving all uninfected civilians within major cities including Boston and Pittsburgh, in hope to contain the fungus.
Because of this, the Fireflies, a rebel militia group were created to defeat FEDRA, restore the pre-outbreak government and find a cure for the disease.
Despite the Fireflies in an effort to take control of the quarantine zones, this results rarely achieved. For example, the revolt led by the Fireflies in Pittsburgh was briefly successful, but its inhabitants eventually became the Hunters. Another example was where the Fireflies were simply defeated by US military forces and eventually forced out in Boston. This may have been due to not managing to cause any large-scale uprisings by civilians, so the Fireflies there were mostly small groups of rebels who engaged in urban warfare and occasional terrorist attacks.
A mixture of the Fireflies, Hunters and independent civilians took control of the remaining zones.
Events of The Last of Us[]
By 2033, Boston, still under the control of the FEDRA who appears to have gained the upper hand in the war against the Fireflies. Despite controling only a few zones, it is still powerful, with control over the remnants of the US military, and they dispatch the latter to pursue Joel, Ellie and Tess who try to escape the Boston Quarantine Zone and reach the Capitol Building. Joel can view the files of FEDRA.
