"Earth was just a tiny planet hiding in the corner of the universe. But now Earth started moving out into space with massive military strength. [...] Earthlings have drawn the attention of the entire universe. But we must not forget that science should only be used for justice. It should never be used to show off one's power."
- ―Alien Kyuloo, The Sky-Flying Iron Colossus.
The Friendship Plan is a year-long interplanetary genocide operation carried out by TDF for the entire duration of Heisei Ultraseven's The Final Chapters Hexalogy.
History[]
Heisei Ultraseven[]
At some point after being promoted to the rank of a staff officer, Kaji proposed the Friendship Plan to solve the ongoing incidents of alien invasions. Due to its inhuman nature, a portion of the TDF voiced their disagreements towards the plan, some of them including Furuhashi , Shiragane's Ultra Guard, and vocal supporters of Furuhashi. Ironically, Furuhashi's team were sent to explore Planet Valkyrie as part of the Friendship Plan on the day of his retirement. An infiltrating Alien Valkyrie took notice of the Friendship Plan and instigated the destruction of the TDF's Moon Base, pinning the blame of the incident on Furuhashi's supporters and after making it appear to be an armed coup. Once arriving on Earth through an emergency shuttle, Valkyrie tarnished the Ultra Guard's reputation in the eyes of the public, which ironically pressured the TDF and the general population to further accept the Friendship Plan. By the time Seven arrived on Earth, he was able to destroy Valkyrie once no other remaining hosts were left. Although the UG's reputation was exonerated, Kaji repaid Valkyrie's invasion by bombing the alien's planet as the Friendship Plan's first target. Legends and Glory
The Friendship Plan continued to destroy more planets despite its inhabitants hardly showing any signs of interest in invading Earth. Eventually, the relentless slaughter conducted by the people of Earth began to show signs of backfiring. Alien Garo decided to use Alien Kyuloo's Daitekkai to start their war against the TDF. The Sky-Flying Iron Colossus A year later, a surviving Nonmalt made herself known to Seven and revealed that the Friendship Plan had more sinister motive beyond defense of Earth. Namely, the supposedly bombed planets were in fact destroyed by Kaji and staging ground for more branches of the TDF's base in outer space, thus an invasion of outer space by mankind, and that the Omega Files contain a secret that Kaji's men were trying to protect at all costs. After invading the TDF's underground base, Seven discovered that Kaji's extremist actions were done both in order to hide the fact that mankind's ancestors were invaders themselves, and in preemptive defense of mankind thus should word get out to other civilizations. This was because, but the Sacred Laws of the Universe, as invaders mankind mankind had no legitimate claim to even Earth. However, at Seven's advising the Ultra Guard nonetheless broadcasted the Omega Files to outer space, a confession of guilt that would prove to the Universe that Mankind had stepped away from the path of their ancestors. This was only possible thanks to the efforts of Miclas and Windom who helped to stall Zabangi, the Nonmalt's weapon of revenge, and by Seven who ultimately slew the beast despite the personal cost to himself.

Aftermath[]
The Friendship Plan was finally put to an end thanks to a revived Furuhashi. Despite the offer of asylum on Earth from Furuhashi Seven decided to face judgement from his people for breaking the Sacred Laws of the Universe, an act performed by interfering with the Nonmalt's legal retribution. This punishment was his imprisonment in the Horsehead Nebula. Furthermore, a peace treaty was signed between the TDF/Earth and the other civilizations of the universe, to prevent subsequent alien invasions in the future. Although peace returned to Earth for five years, Alien Garut's machinations and the infiltration of aliens in TDF effective rendering the peace-treaty invalid. Akashic Records

Trivia[]
- The Friendship Plan was a tribute to the experimental R1 missile that was used to destroy Planet Gyeron as a testing site, which eventually resulted with the attack of Star Bem Gyeron on Earth.
- The Friendship Plan is also a darker take on Kaoru Kiriyama's famous quote that Earth should be defended by mankind. Ironically, Kiriyama is one of the many casualties of the Friendship Plan, as Kaji's men seemingly killed him in order to ensure the existence of the Omega Files remained a secret.
