Under Jamitov Hymen and Bask Om

Emma Sheen: I’ve done some thinking about the Titans. I know now what their real purpose is. I no longer have any doubts, especially after seeing what happened at Colony 30.

Kamille Bidan: But the Titans were formed to hunt down the remnants of Zeon, right?

Emma: No. They’re merely using Zeon as an excuse. I realized that after I got to Green Noa.

Kamille: You just believed Bask’s lies.

On the Republic of Zeon:

Ever since the [One Year] War, the Republic of Zeon has been considered an autonomous region under the overall control of the Earth Federation government. Recently, in concert with the Titans, it’s begun putting its own policies in place and taking actions on its own. high-ranking officials in the Earth government have decided to overlook this for now, mainly because they have little interest in what goes on in outer space.

— Narrator, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam episode 14, English dub.

When Paptimus Scirocco tried to recruit some Titans soldiers to join him, he claimed that the Titans existed to eliminate those bound to the Earth:

Paptimus: The AEUG talks a lot about “space” this and “space” that, but they’re actually no different from the people of the Earth Federation Government. They are also tied to the Earth Sphere. — You don’t look very pleased, Jerid.

Jerid: Your philosophy makes it sound like you’re a Newtype of some sort.

Scirocco: Really? I’m just thinking that the times will not change unless I do something about it myself. Jamitov has turned the Earth Federation Forces into the Titans, with the goal of eradicating the people pulled down by Earth.

Jerid: What!?

Scirocco: By starting this war, he plans to bring Earth’s economy to the point of total collapse. The planet’s population will starve and then vanish.

Whether that’s just recruitment propaganda or actual knowledge, it is notable that the Titan’s headquarters was located in space, not on Earth. When the Earth Federation’s General Assembly votes to grant control of the Earth Federation Forces to the Titans, Jamitov Hymen makes a speech in response.¹
