Hester Gallop was the daughter of the President of the United States of America. Having witnessed her father's assassination in the hand of dissidents, Hester became determine to continue her father's work of establishing the Neo United Nations and the Human Army. She eventually became the first Secretary-General of the Neo United Nations in 2115. Under her watch, the two organizations aggressively pursued the eradication of Festum, taking inhuman actions conducting nuclear strike at Japan in 2118, or killing all humans on Wadatsumijima to recover its Core, which would become the Prometheus Core.

In Dead Aggressor:
~!Hester Gallop had a minor role in Dead Aggressor and was first seen at the end of episode 4, as the Neo U.N. search plane that Kazuki saves from the Festum reports Tatsumiyajima's location. Five years before the series started, she accepted Mitsuhiro Bartland and Youji Hino after they deserted Tatsumiyajima, in exchange for they to develop the Human Army Fafners. She witnessed the Operation Heaven's Door, which was a success in that most of the North Pole Festum was eliminated, and the Human Army was able to restore a satellite in orbit.!~

In Exodus:
~!In the aftermath of the Festum's attack on Hawaii, Hester ordered the ROE Alpha protocol to be carried out regardless of the civilians and Human Army personnel presented on the battlefield. She later oversaw the movements of the refugee convoy leaving Srinagar, sending their location to the Aviator through the Prometheus Core so that the Festum would destroy the convoy.

After Maya Toumi was captured, she was brought before Hester, who declared her intention of having Maya piloting the Mark Raison. She also showed a degree of fondness toward Maya because the girl reminded her when she was still young. Hester wished for Maya to join her in the quest to wipe out the Festum on Earth.

The Prometheus Core later betrayed Hester and took control of the puppets. It also made a deal with Dudley Burns, who would control Human Army force as its proxy. Hester however was able to escape from the island, and was last seen watching the Fourth Operation Azure unfolded.!~

Tatsumiyajima is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island's young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught... but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity's continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind.

2150 AD. The battle against the silicon-based Festums from outer space reaches a new phase. Fragments of the North Pole Mir were scattered throughout the world. Eventually, they began to act on their own as independent Mirs. Most hated humanity and attacked them, but some chose to coexist with mankind. Some with the same way of thinking existed within the human race, as well: those who were both human and Festum. They added to the chaos of the battle and brought about even more hatred.
