Earth Peace Union TPC (Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium) is an organization that founded by Souichiro Sawai when he was the secretary general of the United Nations back in the 20th century. Branches of TPC include GUTS (Global Unlimited Task Squad) and its successor, Super GUTS (Super Global Unlimited Task Squad)
History
At the dawn of the twentieth century, TPC was created by its first leader Sawai to ensure peace on Earth. Among its umbrella organizations was GUTS (Global Unlimited Task Squad), an elite paranormal investigative and rescue unit. When giant monsters and invading aliens started to appear, TPC responded by converting GUTS into a military unit to combat this new threat to mankind. They also began investigating the ancient organization after Ultraman Tiga first appeared. In the year 2010, two years after Tiga’s final battle, Saeki revisited the Lulu Islands and engineered Plan F: to use the Ultramen as weapons. However, the plan failed and he died along with his followers save Iruma when the Dark Giants were released thanks to him. Eventually, a restored Tiga managed to defeat all the Dark Giants.
