In The Last of Us TV show, FEDRA (which stands for Federal Disaster Response Agency) is an antagonist group that wants nothing more than to control the Quarantine Zones across the United States.
They are a military organization that replaced the US government when the Cordyceps outbreak occurred and took control over the survivors.
If you’re interested in the show’s lore, you should also learn about the Fireflies and their deadly rivalry with the FEDRA in The Last of Us TV Show.
The FEDRA presides over the remaining Quarantine Zones. These are safe areas where the surviving population lives doing hard manual labor for very little in return.
They rule with an iron fist, setting strict curfews and publically executing anyone who doesn’t obey their laws.
Only the Fireflies and a handful of angry civilians oppose them. However, their attempts to overthrow them are usually unsuccessful, which is why they’ve ruled for so long.

Nevertheless, despite having a significant military force, the FEDRA has been pushed out of several QZs across the US.
Most notably, the FEDRA was removed from Pittsburgh by the Hunters and Seattle by the Washington Liberation Front (WLF).
These locations are later visited by Joel and Ellie. It is in these places that they face fierce resistance from the now chaotic and uncontrollable inhabitants.
