Titans
From the The Gundam Wiki, the ultimate guide to Gundam
The Titans was an elite unit of the Earth Federation Forces created in UC 0083 after the conclusion of Operation Stardust. Their original intention was to defend the Earth Federation against supporters of the Principality of Zeon, as well as to investigate Zeon sympathizers. However, they eventually turned rogue, allying themselves with Axis Zeon in order to fight against the AEUG in an attempt to gain control over the Earth Sphere. They were all but wiped out by the AEUG at the end of the Gryps Conflict.

History
The Titans were created in 0083 after the events events depicted in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. The colony drop gave way for the creation of an extreme group of special forces made to track down remaining Zeon loyalists. Their first chronological appearance is Bask Om's speech at the end of the OVA.
The Titans over the next several years grew to attract many members and were able to eventually became the dominate force in the federation military. A year before the events in Zeta Gundam the titans committed one of their most famous atrocities, the thirty bunch incident. This event lead to their first real resistance and the formation of the AEUG.
The Titans were eventually exposed when the AEUG captured the Federation capital building. The Titans attempted to silence Char Aznable, who was making a passionate speech about humanity moving into space, before denouncing the Titans. Their actions were caught on camera, which was broadcasted to the entire Earth. The rebels later captured the Gryps Laser, which they used to wipe out the Titans fleet.
