Safeguard

Safeguard is a loose affiliation of Colonial Bay heroes dedicated to protecting the city from large-scale threats, meta-human menaces, and serious crime. The group is not strongly structured with no formal leadership nor internal regulation of members' behaviour. Strategic policies are arrived at by consensus though members are not obligated to comply with decisions that they disagree with. Tactical decisions are delegated to combat team-leaders who are chosen on the basis of seniority and combat expertise. Regular training exercises are held for the benefit of both individual members and the team as a unit and it is during these exercises that combat team-leaders are selected. An encrypted short-wave radio system provides the group secure communication and greater coordination in responding to situations that might require Safeguard's intervention.

History
Safeguard was created to fill the void left after Starguard Gamma was dismantled. Its raison d'etre was to provide the city of Colonial Bay and its people with a meta-human group dedicated to their safety and protection. In addition to responding to direct threats to the city and its surrounds the group provides support, training, information, and encouragement to Colonial Bay's meta-human protectors.

Base
While responding to an incident at the Waterman Oceanarium, Mystique noticed that a subterranean facility was located beneath the oceanarium. On investigation it was discovered that the base (as it appeared to be) was no longer active or occupied. Safeguard personnel then began the process of cleaning, repairing, and updating the complex.
