Covert Assault Team (CAT)

Once they were accepted as members of the UTF’s most elite combat unit your characters were discharged from their previous responsibilities and had their prior identities effectively erased from all available records. After there training and mutagenic enhancement was complete they were ready to begin their on-going mission: to support UTF strategic goals and to protect society from numerous existing threats (not just the Stadarians). Despite this fact, in certain circumstances it will be necessary for the characters to blend back into civilian life. In between assignments CAT members are encouraged to build on their fake identities through finding casual employment and using public UTF services to enhance the credibility of their pseudonyms.

The public as a whole is unaware of CAT’s existence, and maintaining that is one of the team’s top priorities. Your characters are the UTF’s greatest advantage in the war against the Stadarians, and one of its most useful tools for performing tasks that most military units are incapable of completing. Their special training and mutagenic enhancement gives them a distinct mental and physical advantage. The Covert Assault Team is used in many different ways, from exploration to rescuing hostages. Since they are a small group of highly skilled and very powerful individuals they are called upon to complete a variety of difficult assignments. They are often used in touchy situations where overt military action would be counterproductive, to settle disturbances in UTF territory, to explore areas of uncharted space, and of course, and to do anything they can to stop the Stadarians.
