Special Operations

Special Operations is Starfleet's special missions office, directly controlling the organization's elite infantry force, the MeSONs (Military Special OperatioNs). Having a heritage through the United Earth Starfleet's MACOs, the MeSONs perform the rapid (and sometimes covert) insertions necessary for whatever mission is deemed essential. [additional mission descriptions to follow]

The Special Operations office is commanded by a Commodore, who generally hails from within the MeSONs.

Special Operations is broken down into the following hierarchy:

• Meson Group: A group is comprised of 4 squadrons (480 operators), usually located within consecutive sectors, if not in the same sector. They are rarely co-located in the same location, both due to operational necessities and force protection reasons. The HQ will often double as a 'rear-area' training site, for squadrons stood-down for post-deployment. They are commanded by Captains.
  • Meson Squadron:
    • Meson Team:

The commander of Special Operations is a named NPC, as is the commanders of Meson Groups.
The commanders of Meson Squadrons and Teams are unnamed.
