The Combine

Organization Information
The Combine is the primary ruling government of the entirety of the planet Earth. Established in 2004 on Earth following the events of the Resonance Cascade at Black Mesa within 2001, this eldritch entity quickly defeated all military resistance and took possession of the planet following the events of the Seven Hour war. With the surrender of all Earth governments following the events of the war, capitulation ensued, resulting in the establishment of Overwatch and the implementation of a brutal authoritarian regime.

Though its administration may publicly state otherwise, the primary purpose of the Union's presence on Earth is the absorption of all its resources and the forced conscription of a majority of its population into the Overwatch Transhuman Arm and other sections of its empire.
