UPG (Ultra Party Guardians)

UPG (Ultra Party Guardians) is the latest Defense Force Team on Earth. Not much is known about their operations and gear at the moment. They made their debut in Ultraman Ginga S.

History
UPG was formed two years after the defeat of Dark Lugiel. UPG was established due to a wide amount of rumors that were circulating about unaturual phenomenons in a place called Shimogaoka (雫が丘).
