Datalog / Cocoon Society The following is a list of Datalog entries for the Cocoon Society of " Final Fantasy XIII " . The Sanctum . Cocoon ' s central government , the Sanctum , holds supreme executive , legislative and judicial power . It also maintains directive authority over the military . Despite the fact that Cocoon was built by the fal ' Cie , and not by humans , fal ' Cie opt to participate only superficially in governmental affairs , leaving Cocoon ' s administration entirely at the discretion of the human Sanctum and its Primarch , Galenth Dysley . The Purge . To the millions who call Cocoon home , the lowerworld of Pulse represents a constant source of fear . Suspected association with Pulse means stigmatization as an enemy of the state and all mankind - even for born and raised citizens of Cocoon . The recent discovery of a fal ' Cie from Pulse near the city of Bodhum cause widespread civil unrest . After placing the city ' s entire population under quarantine due to the possibility of contamination , the Sanctum then announced its intent to forcibly relocate the affected to Pulse in an emergency measure dubbed by authorities as the Purge . Sanctum Fal ' Cie . The Sanctum fal ' Cie are the unfathomable entities that constructed the floating shell of Cocoon in ages past , and even now watch over the world ' s human inhabitants . Each is assigned a specific task that supports the existence of Cocoon ' s grateful populace , such as generating energy or manufacturing food . The fal ' Cie rarely intervene directly in the governing of society , leaving that responsibility to appointed human representatives . One theory states that , including the lower hierarchy , the total number of Sanctum fal ' Cie exceeds eight million . Sanctum L ' Cie . During the War of Transgression , a number of warriors were made into l ' Cie to engage the forces of Pulse alongside the Sanctum fal ' Cie . Since that time , there is no record of a Cocoon fal ' Cie taking a human as a l ' Cie . It is possible that there have been unrecorded cases , but even if that is so , any and all accurate information about the nature of Sanctum l ' Cie has been lost in the intervening years . Even Sanctum researchers have been able to achieve no more than speculation . PSICOM . The Sanctum military is composed of two main branches : the Guardian Corps , responsible for maintaining security in various jurisdictions throughout Cocoon , and PSICOM - Public Security and Intelligence Command . PSICOM is an elite special operations unit charged with protecting Cocoon from Pulsian incursion . In contrast to the lightly armed Guardian Corps , PSICOM employs an array of advanced heavy weaponry and cruiser - class airships . As PSICOM bears responsibility for any and all threats of Pulse origin , it was PSICOM who conducted the Purge . Guardian Corps . The Guardian Corps is the branch of the Sanctum military responsible for maintaining peace and stability within Cocoon . Within their assigned jurisdictions , the soldiers of the Guardian Corps fulfill the role of the police officers and protectors , working to eliminate all manner of criminal activity as well as rampaging wildlife . As a unit that works alongside the general population , it rarely employs heavy weaponry or cruiser - class ships . However , the Corps does retain squads of highly mobile shock troops . Wide - area Response Brigade . The Wide - area Response Brigade is a Guardian Corps unit commanded by Brigadier General Cid Raines . The brigade is famous for its unofficial name , the ' Cavalry ' . A mobile unit without a designated jurisdiction , the Cavalry patrols the uninhabited expanses between cities , ready to respond to emergency situations at a moment ' s notice . For this purpose , the brigade commands a cruiser - class airship - the sole exception in the Guardian Corps . The " Lindblum " . Due to the expansive area it patrols and the need for mobility , the Wide - area Response Brigade has no fixed base . The " Lindblum " is the command shop of the brigade and serves as both home and headquarters for its soldiers . It is heavily armed and armored for a Guardian Corps craft , but is easily outclassed by the anti - Pulse gunships built for the main PSICOM fleet . The " Palamecia " . The flagship of the Sanctum Skyfleet , this imposing craft is an anti - Pulse juggernaut built using the latest in military technology . The " Palamecia " bristles with powerful weaponry , and its multiple decks hold several dozen warships , as well as hundreds of crew members . During the Purge , the " Palamecia " transported the entire Pulse Vestige to the Hanging Edge . Bodhum Security Regiment . The Bodhum Security Regiment is a section of the Guardian Corps stationed in the coastal community of Bodhum . Before the events of the Purge , Lightning belonged to this unit . Public security issues rarely arose in the sleepy seaside town , and with little trouble from the local fauna , the regiment was one of the least active units of the Corps . During long spans of downtime , BSR troops were often sent to aid in exterminating dangerous wildlife in frontier regions . Woodlands Observation Battalion . This unit is part of the Guardian Corps , but unlike the Bodhum Security Regiment , the Woodlands Observation Battalion patrols non - residential areas . Its main duty is to prevent wild creatures from encroaching on suburban districts . The battalion also provides the bulk of security personnel for the Gapra Whitewood bioweapon research facility , despite the facility ' s status as a PSICOM - run initiative . Palumpolum Security Division . As the name implies , this Guardian Corps unit is stationed in the city of Palumpolum . In order to properly patrol the immense Capital of Commerce , the division consists of a large number of troops broken down into many small regiments . As a force primarily entrusted with maintaining public security , it is not outfitted with heavy combat equipment . However , the division is known for its high morale , and its soldiers were drafted to serve under PSICOM ' s Colonel Rosch during the l ' Cie operations . Nautilus Security Division . This Guardian Corps unit is responsible for maintaining the security in Nautilus , the popular City of Dreams . With the fun - filled amusement park requiring little supervision , the Nautilus Security Regiment spends much of its time practicing combat maneuvers . This regiment ' s highly trained soldiers are often deployed in support of PSICOM operations , and many of its members joined the sweep teams searching for fugitive l ' Cie in the Vile Peaks . The Homeguard . This Guardian Corps unit is stationed in the capital city of Eden . The most elite soldiers in the Corps , the Homeguard is on equal footing with PSICOM in terms of sheer military might . As part of an organization that accepts only the best troops the army has to offer , Homeguard veterans are well respected in Cocoon society even after their retirement . Bioweapons . The Sanctum has developed a vast arsenal of weaponry to defend against the constant threat of Pulse , and these living weapons are one of many fruits its research has borne . Ordinary Cocoon wildlife transformed into efficient killing machinery through selective breeding , intense training , and physical augmentation , bioweapons retain all the raw power and feral fury of their natural counterparts while obeying the commands of their handlers with unwavering loyalty . AMP Technology . Antimatter Manipulation Principle ( AMP ) form the foundation for a variety of technological wonders , enabling phenomena ranging from phase - space interference to the manipulation of gravitational force . Humans ordinarily lack the means to wield magic , but through the use of manadrives - another product of the principle - it is possible to synthesize its effects . The Pompa Sancta . This festive nighttime dance parade depicts the events of the War of Transgression in a stylish and dazzling display of pageantry . Held in Nautilus , the production portrays Cocoon fal ' Cie as Eidolons who combine their powers with those of flamboyant ' Sanctum l ' Cie ' in order to overthrow the villainous l ' Cie of Pulse . In the show ' s dramatic finale , a Pulse l ' Cie transforms into an abomination reminiscent of Ragnarok before finally being slain by a righteous l ' Cie from Cocoon . NORA . The paramilitary organization known as NORA is a group composed of like - minded youths , assembled by Snow and self - funded by the operation of a seaside café in Bodhum . Functioning as a neighborhood watch of sorts , NORA members patrol the vicinity of Bodhum for trouble . Most often , " trouble " consists of encroachment by dangerous forms of wildlife . NORA had never openly acted out against the Sanctum prior to the Purge , and because of this , the military had been content to turn a blind eye to the group ' s activities . Chocobos . These large , yellow birds are always crowd favorites . Wild chocobos are almost unheard of on Cocoon , but thanks to the antics of a certain TV program ' s feathery main character , owning chocobo chicks has become the latest fad among children . Although the tiny chicks are easy to handle when young , their rapid growth as they approach adulthood has forced an increasing number of families to donate their oversized avian pets to zoos and farms .
