History
Pan Pacific Defense Corps (P.P.D.C.) was a military organisation that consisted of all the nations around Earth in the protection of their world. It was created in the early 21st century following the emergence of the Kaiju from the Breach. During their emergence, the creatures led to wide-scale devastation in a number of cities including San Francisco, Manila, Cabo and Sydney. This forced the international community to come together on how to best respond to this threat with a conference held at Seoul, South Korea on September 15, 2014. During the meeting, Dr. Jasper Schoenfeld presented his idea in combating the Kaiju where he used the event as an opportunity to propose the creation of giant Mecha known as Jaegers. This promoted the various countries putting aside their differences with them unifying under the United Nations in working together in building these weapons. Thus, in late 2014, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps was founded where it served to field the Jaeger Program and fund the efforts of Dr. Schoenfeld along with Dr. Caitlin Lightcap in building the first six Jaegers that were to be manned by the military organisation.
Overview
There were a number of divisions in the Corps that included:
- K-Science :
- J-Tech :
Jaeger pilots were referred to by their rank of Ranger.
They maintained the Kaiju Archives that contained a list of designations for Kaiju and the ones slain in battle.
It was known to liaise with corporate bodies such as Shao Industries that produced equipment and machines for them. The Corps had a stand-off relationship with the Kaiju Cultists who opposed the organisation for taking creatures they believed to be divine beings.
The organisation maintained a number of facilities throughout the world. Chief among these were the Shatter Domes that served as factories for the construction, repair and maintenance of Jaegers with them also serving as sites for training of pilots along with conducting experiments.
