SECTION-41
Special Operations Unit Indicium Hastae
//ABOUT//
In 831 A.S., shortly after the pulse, the LSF home office on Planet Manhattan began putting together a small cell of LSF agents whose purpose it was to investigate the matter of the pulse and to explore the distant Earhart satellite systems. Section-41 were given ample resources to investigate the mystery and, if necessary, prevent it from happening again. Now in 834 A.S., the logistics and paperwork have been completed and Section-41 is now in operational status.
The small LSF cell was issued Grizzly-Class freighters, and smaller Bastet Fighters to investigate this matter. In charge of the fledgling group is Major Asher "Cipher" Oldston, recently promoted. Captaining the LN744-LNS-Leavenworth (Carrier-Class) on loan to the LSF is Colonel Marcus Talbot of the Liberty Navy--on assignment to the LSF--who is in charge of all operations involving the capital class vessel. Currently, it is assigned to the Alaska system while Section-41 begins with their assessment of Earhart.
Section-41 is classified November-Blue. Any and all documentation and reports are considered threats to national security if they are leaked to the public and strict adherence to OPSEC must be observed. Only those with "Need-to-Know" are aware of S41 and all reports, analysis, or detailed observations by S41 are classified as such.

OOC Notes
First and foremost, I'm posting this to get some feedback for the document. Spending 12 hours a day at work playing firefighter for IT systems tends to be boring when nothing actually breaks, so I had some time to watch some Jack Ryan on Amazon and this idea popped into my head, made for an interesting writing exercise.
My IRL is all jacked up at the best of times right now. I have very little time to play and this is really just something fun to write and see what people think about it--possibly some flying around in-game when I have the free time. Feedback is always welcomed from the community, so long as it is constructive.
The LNS.Leavenworth is only a lore vessel and is not expected to be created for use. If there is someone trustworthy that joins and likes flying capital ships, we may buy a single solitary one for use in RP scenarios only.
Snubs only, nothing other than LF, HF, VHF, SHF, Bomber, or Freighter. No Gunboats or larger except for the single Gunboat the faction will possess for RP.
Generally the AOR (ZOI) will stay within Liberty and the Omicrons. However, depending on RP and where discussions lead us in RP, we may branch out into other areas. Hopefully this will lead to meaningful RP between players and various organizations.
I look forward to your feedback and thoughts on this document. It's been about a week's worth of work on and off between work tasks so hopefully it came out (somewhat) concise and literate.
On a serious note, always glad to see more small subfactions, especially in regards to intelligence factions. I imagine we'll be running into each other in the field before long.
I honestly hadn't considered the tag similarities. I had wondered where I got the idea for it. Now that I looked at Section 8 documents, I will probably change it to avoid any confusion. Sorry about that!
Thanks for the feedback. Soon as I have more time to play, I look forward to interactions!
