UPG (Ultra Party Guardians)

UPG (Ultra Party Guardians) is a defense team formed under the , whose main goal is to fight against monster threats and studying the Victorium crystals. They made their debut in Ultraman Ginga S.
==History==
UPG was formed two years after the defeat of Dark Lugiel. It was created due to a wide amount of rumors that were circulating about unnatural phenomenons in a place called . UPG launched an investigation and discovered a stone called Victorium, unrealistic phenomenons and a giant monsters. Due to these recent discoveries, UPG decided to make massive preparations and to expand UPG to counter potential threats. 
==Base==
The is the UPG's temporary main base of operations. The base played several roles in the story, used by UPG Captain Jinno to aid Ginga and Victory against Fire Golza and Gan-Q. Alien Chibull Exceller would later fuse the base with Dark Lugiel's essence, forcibly transforming the base into Vict Lugiel. One year after the base's destruction, it was rebuilt and continued to be used by the UPG.
===Facilities===
*Command Center: The main room where most of the UPG members work in. When Koyama and other officers of the IDO took command of the base, he activated the secret Victorium Cannon.
===Arsenal===
*: Much like other radar towers, it functions to receive and transmit signals. However, in certain cases, the tower was converted into a giant magnetic cannon and controlled by a Charge Gun. It was used to attack monsters and extract Victorium from Shepherdon.
*: A large caliber energy cannon secretly built and only known by top ranking officers. The cannon is powered by Victorium energy. A single shot with 30% charged energy was able to effortlessly defeat Alien Guts Vorst. Although it could charge up to 150% for maximum firepower, it experienced an error and became out of control. Hikaru dubbed this as the forbidden weapon due to its misuse of Victorium that supposedly belonged to the Victorian.

==Trivia==
*The UPG team shares a lot of similarities with SSSP from Ultraman as seen on their logo, their headquarters, and their suits.
**Their suits not only were designed after the SSSP's uniforms but also bear similarities to the uniforms of GUYS and to a lesser extent DASH.
*This marks as the second Earth defense organization to include non-humans. The first was DASH, both of which featured androids. However, the ULTRAMAN manga had an SSSP member, Edo, who is an Alien Zetton.
*This defense team was the third one whose higher officers portrayed an antagonistic role, abusing the team with the first is TLT and the second was DEUS.
*This is also one of the Defense Teams that team up with another Defense Team from another Ultraman Series; that being Xio. Another one is Super GUTS, which team ups with GUTS although it was only upgraded from the old team and from the same universe but different series.
