Formed as an alternative to older, Earth-based magic groups, ECO was based on a growing desire for independence from the control and mistakes of Earth. The two primary aims of ECO are to promote the welfare of mages and psions, and to advance the cause of the independence movements that led to the formation of the Independent Lunar Colonial Organization and the United Martian Colonies, as well as to ensure the continued independence of those entities following the war. Members are drawn primarily from the inhabitants of Luna, Mars and Alpha Prime. The majority of members are Lunar and Martian-born mages, although some prefer to find less political entities to associate with. ECO, naturally, is a target for anti-mage/psionic groups, as well as Earth-based organizations who wish to control off-world colonies and projects. During the Belt Rebellion, ECO spoke out against the violence, but was sympathetic to the plight of the miners, and heavily criticized the Earth-based corporations and PMCs involved.
