Zero Division

Description
A Secret Peacekeeping Special Mission/Black Operations Unit whose purpose is to covertly monitor the world and thwart any threat to world peace or safety. This squad was originally brought together to rescue a scientific contingent from a high orbit space station. After the (mostly) successful mission, the members remained close and continued operating together when possible as they saw just how capable they were together. Though this elite special operations force has no official name, its members call it Zero Division, and it performs as a Special Tactics and Rescue (STAR) unit in almost any environment. If they were part of the normal military chain of command, they would certainly fall under United Earth Special Operations Command (UESOCOM). But they operate beyond conventional EarthGov authority.

Most members could be considered Tier One Operators individually, but together- they are truly a Tier Zero Strikeforce. This is even more fitting as the 'Tier' system is not a rating system but a SOCOM funding method, and this team receives no funding from public sources.

Combined they are fighting force so well put together, that it borders more on Military Myth than standard operating procedure. Made up of super-powered operatives, dedicated to protecting humanity from top-secret threats. They are specialized in infiltration, anti-terrorism and "armed deterrence", acting with maximum-speed & efficiency in situations where official methods can not be used due political or diplomatic reasons.

Despite clearly being a paramilitary force, Zero Division does have not an official leader, even if charismatic member may take the lead of a specific mission. Mission operations are a shared duty- and tactical decisions are usually executed by those with the most experience in said tactic. Like groups with similar mandates & purposes, strategic policies are arrived at by consensus- though members are not obligated to comply with decisions that they disagree with.

Each member has an advanced long-range encrypted Comms-Unit enabling communication on mission or off.

Activities
The team travels the globe performing missions including protection, retrieval, and intervention. This SMU is especially equipped to deal with situations costumed heroes generally cannot (but are fully capable of costume-style heroics if necessary). They do not shy away from wetwork, yet their mandate is to protect life in all its forms where possible. While covertly monitoring the world to thwart any threat to world peace or safety, as a group they are oriented to search for solutions to world problems by non-violent means and in the development of arts and technology. This is likely due to having a pacifist Alien Ambassador as a founding member.

Each member has a very particular set of skills & specialities and brings a unique perspective to the team. Together they are an incredibly formidable battalion, and their camaraderie shows that each is an integral part of the whole.

Zero Division conducts covert and clandestine missions, such as unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, anti-terrorism, war on drug-traffickers, HVT (high value target) acquisition & exfiltration, and other direct action missions. A truly Front Line unit, they serve as the 'man on the wall'- a seemingly invisible force for justice that would take out threats to Earth before they would become a real danger, & protect the Earth from crises that do not find their way onto StarGuard or other more official team's radars. Often times this has them gallivanting across the globe one day and the galaxy the next.

Despite being outside of the chain of command, they do attempt to stay within the boundaries of the law- but admittedly will do what needs to be done to accomplish their mission.
