| “ | Make no mistake, we will rip you from the history books. Every last trace of you gone! You will know loss. We will be the architects of your pain, we will build monuments to your destruction. The whole world will bear witness to this, our ascension. We will blot out your skies, we will bury you in darkness. Know this and know us. We are your enemy. We are the Settlement Defense Front.

The Settlement Defense Front (SDF), also referred to as SetDef or simply the Front is a totalitarian militaristic state that originated on Mars and seceded from the Earth's influence during the Secession Wars thirty years before the events of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
SetDef is composed primarily of radical off-world insurgents who seek total control over the solar system. They see themselves as the true inheritors of the solar system and believe their way of life to be "stronger, more pure," than the people of Earth.
In SetDef's mind, living off-world in the harsh conditions of space has made them more worthy of ruling the solar system, while those who reside on Earth are weak "fat cats," living off the bounty of the off-world colonies. Living in the harshness of space has given the SDF an extreme and highly distorted survivalist mindset, causing them to believe that the only way for them to survive is to defeat Earth. In other words, they believe in an extreme form of Social Darwinism. In contrast, the Front's name was deliberately chosen for propaganda reasons, to try to give it the appearance of being a noble underdog.
They value functionality over style, an attitude reflected in everything from their ships to their weapons and armour, which is modular and functional yet devoid of aesthetics, with everything designed to protect them from the harshness of space first and foremost. They have re-purposed service robots into military roles, adding to their legions of troops. For SetDef, a true victory would mean the conquest and subjugation of Earth and utter cessation of all influence of the same. They are willing to kill civilians, soldiers, and anyone who gets in their way.
It seems that the Front uses English as its main language and means of communication.
