The Hybrid Front (ハイブリッド・フロント) is a 1994 strategy game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive released exclusively in Japan.

Story

In the late 21st century, a global economic crisis causes widespread poverty around the world. Looking for a way to avoid economical collapse, many countries turn to corporations for help and "Corporate Support Laws" are established in 2072, giving the corporations great concessions. Soon after, corporations form their own military forces.

In 23rd century, Peak Oil is reached and middle eastern oil producing countries fade away, giving way to cheaper and more easily produced hydrogen based fuel production. As the countries switch to hydrogen based power, corporations begin experimenting with solar power by establishing several space colonies in the Earth Orbit.

In 2243, corporations who developed the orbital belt propose "Orbital Corporation Autonomy Law", a resolution that will grealy increase their power and give them sovereign status. Unsurprisingly, countries reject the proposal and announce that they will curtail the power of the corporations.

Over the course of the 23rd century, tensions between Earth and corporations gradually escalate and finally, in 2302, first all out war between Earth Governments and Corporations break out. Dubbed "First Orbital War", the conflict ends with inconclusive results.

In 2307, corporations establish COCOON, (COoperation COmmunity of Orbital Negotaion), a massive supra-national body to challenge the Earth Governments more openly.

Two years later, in 2309, "Second Orbital War", also known as "Hammer War" begins. With the Earth Orbit is under their total control, corporations use orbital weapon platforms called "Metal Hammers" and reduce major cities around the world to rubble. Soon, in 2315, Earth Govenments propose a conditional ceasefire. COCOON stations its troops all over the Earth for "Peacekeeping" and establishes a legislative body called, "Provisional Inspection Legislative Council" to enforce the armstice.

In 2391, COCOON establishes "Pan-Earth Treaty Organization", (PETO) to prevent further conflicts. With the Earth is more or less under total control of COCOON, Earth embraks on her slow road to recovery.

In the post-war Earth of 26th Century, logistics are handled by group of individuals who are known as the "Mules" who can deliver anything as long as they can be afforded. Players will take control of Sarira, leader of the local Mule group. Over the course of the game Sarira will become the leader of the rebellion against the COCOON and attempt to save the Earth from corporations' control.
