The Intergalactic Red Cross Movement (colloquially known as the Red Cross) is an altruistic movement spread across multiple galaxies in the Original Universe.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Intergalactic Red Cross Movement consists of several closely-related institutions that aim to alleviate and prevent the suffering of sentient beings by promoting peace and supplying medical aid to civilizations that have been recently ravaged by war, famine, disease, or other ills. Spacecraft that are primarily affiliated with the Red Cross are often painted white and marked with the organization's eponymous symbol: a stylized red cross.[1]
The institution at the centre of the Red Cross Movement is an independent organization that is sometimes funded, but not controlled by, the Galactic Government.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,084 CMT, a Red Cross spaceship detected Dan Pactan, Kek Kellek, and Lel Lololo walking across the surface wastelands of Teruga Prime while the Terugan Civil War raged across the planet's cities. The Red Cross spaceship approached the three deserted Terugans so that its crew could see if they could provide assistance to the trio. Lel identified the ship as a Red Cross vessel; a fact he pointed out to his allies. A Red Cross spokesman aboard the ship offered to take the three Terugans to a designated safe zone: Kek asked to be taken to Atuar Sadiares, but the spokesman replied that that particular Red Cross vessel had orders to continue to provide aid on Teruga Prime and could not leave until their mission was complete. Upon hearing this, Lel grabbed onto the underside of the ship and climbed up onto the top, where he banged on the cockpit exterior and asked to be let in. When the crew complied, Lel beat them all into submission with a wrench and threw their semi-conscious bodies overboard, abandoning them on Teruga Prime's desolate surface. Dan reluctantly followed Kek and Lel into the commandeered ship as the two navigators set a course for Atuar Sadiares. As the ship's engines powered up, Lel released a supply drop from the ship so that the abandoned Red Cross workers would not be without supplies themselves, but the drop contained nothing but diapers.[2]
In the 3784th Assembly of the Reverie (Day 56 of The Mazkertis Paradox arc), SM Raito Nakamura reminded the Reverie that the Red Cross were in charge of providing relief on Teruga Prime when a senator asked him who would step in to mediate the Terugan Civil War.[3]
On Day 76, Masahito Nakamura announced in his message to the universe that the Intergalactic Red Cross Movement had volunteered to aid the Galactic Government in restoring stability to all the planets and colonies that were invaded when SM Raito announced his intentions to dissolve the Galactic Government, including XTR-378, Yoon-Ta, SD-349, and New Vourah.[4]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Intergalactic Red Cross Movement was based on the real-world International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
