Talk about differing viewpoints.  My view of UN in GZGverse is that
they're the only honourable bunch of the lot of them.  Holding the
factions apart at great cost to themselves.  Betrayed on all sides by
the different factions.  One nice one I saw was that originally UN drew
staff from the various factions but due to a NAC captain stealing the
plans for pulse torpedoes they decided to recruit an organice force
instead.
