	The basic operational unit of the SpecOps branch is the MeSON team. Meson team types are broken down by their general mission. Within team types there can be further specialization, such as an orbital insertion unit which specializes in parachuting from orbit; or a water team which specializes in beach landings or underwater ops. It should be noted that all Meson team members are first and foremost professional soldiers. They are heavily cross-trained in all team type missions and any team is capable of handling any mission (which they often must, given their wide dispersion through the fleet). The team types merely indicate concentrated training in a particular area in which the team excels. Each team is numbered and named for the mission type (''ex: Deamon Team 8'').

The ten team types are:

	; Boson: Though their team name is a play on the nautical term 'bosun', Bosons are no less lethal than their fellow Mesons. The team is more generalized than the others, and provides a ready reaction force to any situation that may arise in the shadow of another ongoing event. Additionally, the Bosons will generally be sent down-range with one of the other teams to provide immediate trained back-up and combat support, as necessary.		; Boson: Though their team name is a play on the nautical term 'bosun', Bosons are no less lethal than their fellow Mesons.

	; Covert Rescue: The mission of a Covert Rescue Meson is to recover downed and injured ~~Starfleet~~ personnel in austere and non-permissive environments. Covert Rescuers provide emergency medical treatment necessary to stabilize and evacuate injured personnel while evading the enemy. Covert Rescuers may, on rare occasions, be called upon to rescue personnel from worlds which have yet to make First Contact, which makes their mission even more sensitive. They may also have to destroy crashed vehicles or equipment —when recovery is not possible— in order to deny the technology to an enemy or to prevent its discovery by developing cultures.		; Covert Rescue: The mission of a Covert Rescue Meson is to recover downed and injured Star Fleet personnel in austere and non-permissive environments.

	; Daemon: Daemon (pronounced 'DEE-mun') teams specialize in attacking enemy databases and information systems, usually through hard-wired taps or from actual enemy terminals. This obviously requires infiltration far behind enemy lines in most cases. Beyond the capacities of the average Federation data warfare tech, Daemons can crack enemy communications, insert false intelligence, inject computer viruses, and even re-appropriate enemy assets. Daemons receive extensive training in Threat computer systems and often work with other types of Meson teams.		; Daemon: Daemon (pronounced 'DEE-mun') teams specialize in attacking enemy databases and information systems, usually through hard-wired taps or from actual enemy terminals.
