IPEA
The IPEA (International Project Evangelion Agency) is a mysterious organization under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.
Profile
The IPEA operate independently of Nerv. They are in charge of the Eva containment facility that Eva-02 is placed within under the terms of the Vatican Treaty. Given that Eva-02 was later sortied against the 10th Angel, with Mari Makinami Illustrious as pilot and the facility's technicians assisting her, IPEA may also possess independent power to mobilize Evangelion units.
Eva-05's boot-up screen indicates that the subsystem is of IPEA manufacture, suggesting that IPEA also plays a role in the preparation of at least some Eva units.
Logo
IPEA's logo incorporates a three-eyed, two-cored, Eva-like being to which Evangelion Unit-01 at Near Third Impact achieves a strong resemblance. A more subtle allusion between the two is provided via the way the IPEA logo is situated over the containment silo doors: when the doors open, light streams out between the logo's two cores in much the same way as light streams from Eva-01's heart. The logo also incorporates olive branches found on the U.N.'s emblem. Another similar design is that of the International Atomic Energy Agency whose logo has both the atom and the olive branches.
