The MPU was an intelligent satellite network established prior to the "Warp Gate Accident," which caused part of the moon's destruction. Due to the debris left behind, fragments of the moon continue to fall onto Earth. As people retreated underground for safety, a communication system consisting of satellites was developed to connect with extraterrestrial inhabitants on Mars and Venus. However, the relentless barrage of rock from space erased the Nazca Lines, ancient Peruvian drawings visible only from above. The MPU admired these lines and decided one day to recreate them using the lasers in its satellite network. When this occurred, humans below believed a hacker had breached their computer system and caused the lines' creation.
