History[edit]
The CCO was one of the primary non-governmental organizations that served as the roots of Ward 24's government, alongside the TRO and FSO. As the Kanto government weakened, these non-profit groups became more and more powerful, like political parties. The CCO is referred to as the "civic faction", and worked on maintaining the city's purity. TRO and CCO joined together as the TRO/CCO Alliance, feigning a balance of power which was rivaled the conservative FSO "frontier faction". In reality, all three factions were secretly divisions of one group.
The conflict between the TRO/CCO Alliance and the FSO culminated in the event known as the Silver Case. TRO/CCO Alliance Chairman Ginji Nakane was murdered outside the TTV Station by Kamui Uehara, who had been allegedly hired by the FSO. Kamui then entered the TV Tower, where 10 high-ranking Alliance members were having a secret meeting. The old men of the Alliance killed Kamui, then eachother, with the last man standing being Uminosuke Hachisuka, who replaced his own eye with Kamui's silver eye, gaining a younger appearance and later taking the place of his son Kaoru Hachisuka.
In 1980, through the TRO/CCO Alliance, Uminosuke enacted the Shelter Kids Policy, which raised 1,440 boys under the secret "Kamui Maspro" project, with the goal of molding their personalities to resemble Kamui, and to create more silver eyes. The project was mainly backed by the TRO.
As the mayor of Ward 24, Uminosuke launched the government's anti-conflict reforms, leading to the restructuring of the factions. The city's Department of the Environment and Department of Investment were structured around the former CCO. The former CCO also managed one part of the Department of Security, the Public Security Department's Secret Security Division. This division formed the special forces unit Republic to compete with the former TRO's Heinous Crimes Unit.
