Spec Ops - Known SpecOps Divisions

Known SpecOps Divisions

• SpecOps 1: The division that polices SpecOps itself.
• SpecOps 2: Weirder Stuff (aliens according to an unpublished chapter of The Eyre Affair).
• SpecOps 3: Office for Alternate Universe Travel (as opposed to time travel) a.k.a. Weird Stuff The Eyre Affair.
• SpecOps 5: Search & Containment. SpecOps 5 is given a man to track until "found and contained" (a euphemism for killed), then is posted with another target. SpecOps 4 is "pretty much the same" but after a different target. SpecOps 5's assignments have included Acheron Hades and his sister Aornis.
• SpecOps 6: National Security, the department responsible for protecting the president and prime minister. It has also been responsible for protecting Mycroft Next, presumably from the Russians, as he is a scientific genius.
• SpecOps 9: Antiterrorism.
• SpecOps 12: The ChronoGuard, or the Office for Special Temporal Stability. Responsible for policing the timestream, dealing with Anomalous Time Ripplation and repairing paradoxes and timephoons.
• SpecOps 13: Genetic detectives, responsible for the destruction of chimeras and the regulation of genetic engineered pets, including those formerly extinct. SpecOps 13 is also responsible for Neanderthal affairs.
• SpecOps 14: Tactical support, known for its sharpshooters and trigger-happiness.
• SpecOps 15: Drug Enforcement Agency.
• SpecOps 17: Suckers & Biters, the Vampire and Werewolf Disposal Operation. Despite a three-point confirmation procedure, every so often one of its operatives stakes a goth by mistake. SpecOps 17 also deals with Supremely Evil Beings, thousands of which are contained and placed in plain glass jars at the Loathsome Id Containment Facility; and ghosts, zombies, demons, and other supernatural beings.
