TLT (Terrestrial Liberation Trust)

Several years have passed since the events occurred with the appearance the beings code named "The Next" and "The One". The Earth exists in relative peace, but secretly strange monsters called "Space Beasts" stalk citizens, killing them in many cases.

To combat this threat, the "Terrestrial Liberation Trust" (TLT), a global, clandestine organization is set up to investigate and defeat the "Space Beasts". In Japan, the base of TLT Japanese Division, or TLT-J, is located secretly in the mountains under the facade of a hydroelectric plant.

History
The origins of TLT go back to the source of the problem that plagued humanity and perhaps countless other species in the universe, the Space Beasts, more specifically their master Dark Zagi. Some time ago the being known as Ultraman Noa came into existence through unknown means (rumored to be a supernova in Messier 80 in the Scorpio Constellation). Since that time the silver giant traveled space fighting evil while bonding to several hosts. A race of beings, known to TLT as the 'Visitors' saw this and proposed the creation of their own personal protector, a clone of the silver giant. They fail, for whatever reasons the clone became a twisted mockery of the paragon of justice and created an army of monsters to destroy all life. To stop him, the visitors tried to kill him by destroying their planet. Though Zagi was not killed by some means he was separated from his body and left as a ball of dark energy. His body was used to create the alien construct known as Lethe.

Year 1991
Knowing his eventual goal the visitors headed to Earth with Lethe and crashed in the Arizona desert. The US army that found them was told by the aliens that they would be willing to give their technology so long as it was only for the defense of the Earth against the oncoming threat. Communication was accomplished by the use of a young psychic boy named Kaimoto, through whom the Visitors explained their background and the incoming danger.

The was first steps to the foundation of TLT, scientists from around the world were brought to Arizona and numerous countries around the world entered this alliance. However it would be nineteen years before the first Space Beast would appear. During this time several projects were being worked on several projects, the development of the first Chesters, the Night Raiders' weaponry, the development of the Visitors Potential Barrier to slow down the appearance of Space Beasts and the Prometheus project to name a few.

At some point in time Zagi made his way to Earth and possessed one of the scientists working with the visitors. Using this host body he slaughtered perhaps everyone there including young Nagi's mother and father. Encountering the young girl after the fact he clouded her memory and let live as she was integral to his master plan.

Year 2004
Thirteen years later after the Visitors arrived, the first Space Beast, Beast the One, appeared in the Seas of Japan possessing a young man named Udo, who was part of the BCST an anti-bio terrorism organization working with U.S forces. He was eventually defeated by the silver warrior code named the Next, a lesser form taken on by Noa.

After 2004 and year 2009
After those events TLT erased the entire world's memories and media information pertaining to the battle between Ultraman and the One and created their first cover up story of a meteor shower devastating Shinjuku. Afterwards the Night Raiders and other divisions of TLT began to operate as the battle between Noa and Zagi progressed on Earth. In time the space beast menace began to evolve, with more and more giant beasts appearing in place of the more human sized variants. This lead to TLT upgrading their arsenal and declaring Ultraman and ally, despite their initial posture towards him.

Other Divisions
TLT has been described as a series of gears with more individual divisions than just the Night Raiders in their fight against Space Beasts. These range from everyday personnel, to specialists in disposal, to the self explanatory Memory Police.

Equipment
Thanks to their technology from the Visitors TLT arms their Night Raider unit with advance equipment to combat Space Beast when on the ground. All Night Raider weapons fire energy bullets.
 * Divait Launcher: Night Raider Standard issue, they are only ever used when on a mission do to their fire power. They can be switched between two modes, cannon mode which can easily kill a small space beast in a few shots or a well aimed one and rapid fire mode where it acts like a machine gun.
 * Divait Shooter: Night Raider Standard issue small firearm, while not enough to kill a space beast it is more effective than a normal gun of the same size. The hand gun has isomorphics on its grip meaning no one but members of TLT can use it.
 * Pulse Breiger: The wrist worn communication device all Night Raider members wear, it acts like a video phone, a map, a Beast Wave detector and a scanner. It can also be mounted with weapons such as a stun gun, napalm bomb, a beam weapon and a freeze shot. It is also said to be the world's most powerful stunner.
 * Special NR suit: The suit worn by the Night Raiders, it provides hot and cold life support. When going on mission armor is attached along with a survival belt.
 * NR helmet. The helmets the Night Raiders use, they are equipped with night vision, function displays, and targeting assistance when they are in the chesters.
 * Memory Eraser: The tools used by the M.P. division of TLT, these folded phone style devices shine a bright light that erases all memories connected to specific keywords. Particularly keywords relating to Ultraman and Space Beasts. It later learned that all the memories taken by the M.P. are stored within Lethe.

Mecha
Thanks to the technology granted to them from the Visitors TLT arms their Night Raider unit with advance machines to combat Space Beasts in the air and when they reach giant size. As more giant space beasts started to become more and more in place of the more human sized variants, as well as their continued evolution TLT was forced to upgrade their arsenal creating new Chesters and Chester combinations.

Chesters
From left to right:
 * Chrome Chester Alpha: The most aerodynamic of the original three Chesters it forms the front command portion of all Chester combinations.
 * Chrome Chester Beta: The Chester with the largest engine of the original three, it forms the middle section of the Strike Chester formation and the cannons in the Mega Cannon formation.
 * Chrome Chester Gamma: The least aerodynamic of the original three Chesters it forms the bottom or the back of all the formations
 * Chrome Chester Delta: The fourth Chester was built to do what Strike formation could not, use the Phase Synchronizer and Scanning Pulse at the same time. It upgraded the Strike formation into Hyper Strike formation enhancing its abilities and allowing greater firepower output.

Chester Combinations

 * Mega Cannon Chester: In exchange for air mobility the chesters gain a stronger version of the finisher the Strike Vanisher called the Mega Strike Vanisher which is thirty percent stronger.
 * Strike Chester: The first combination of Alpha, Beta and Gamma, with its Scanning pulse it can search for things within the phase and its Phase Synchronizer allows it to match that frequency of space. This is how it enters the Meta-Field. Its finisher is a beam called the Strike Vanisher
 * Hyper Strike Chester: The Strike Chester combined with Chester Delta, it can now search the phase frequencies with impunity and Delta Hyper generators allow for the use of the Hyper Strike Vanisher and for a time, before the required data was deleted, Ultimate Vanisher which was an artificially created version of Nexus' Over-Ray-Storm

Trivia

 * Yoichiro Matsunaga actor appears in the Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Brothers film playing the Mayor of Kobe. As a fact, when the Mayor's cellphone starts to ring, the song is the sortie theme for whenever the Night Raiders go out on a mission.
 * It should be noted that the jellyfish in the tubes where Illustrator works are actually members of the Visitor race.
 * Of all the attack teams, the Night Raiders are perhaps the most competent, they have almost never been shot down save by Ezmeal and a few other incidents (only one chester). They were also taking down Space Beasts before Ultraman Nexus appeared and his presence was only required because of the Beast's evolving tactics and the appearance of dark ultras. Even then, the Night Raiders are generally more successful against their monster enemies than most of the attack teams.
 * Captain Wakura's actor also appeared in Ultraman Tiga playing a TPC member. He was a military minded commander who used unethical tactics in trying to find out how to better deal with monster attacks.
