The Powers That Be

The Powers That Be is the most commonly associated name to the illustrious group of Wastelanders dedicated to Human-Alien Relations, however they have also been referred to as the Middlemen, and Men In Black.

TPTB deals with various Alien activities, and uses highly sophisticated technology to enforce the compliance of any locals caught in their wake. While they are highly active among the Wastes, it isn't often they surface to the public view.

Origin
TPTB's roots stem as far back as the Mayan Civilization, where the first Humans made contact with the Aliens, who are said to have pushed man's evolution in a near 3000 year long plan, referred to as The Real Great Awakening. TPTB did not officially form until the mid-1700's, when Mothership Alpha abducted members of various country leaders, and formed a secret collection of small treaties. TPTB worked during the Space Race to prevent the world's nations from becoming Space-Faring, as per order of Mothership Zeta, to secure that only those within the highest ranks of TPTB have access to advanced space-related travel and weaponry. After the end of the Cold War, Mothership Alpha gifted TPTB vast collections of advanced technologies that would be used to protect Earth from Alien groups that would normally destroy Humanity with ease.
