The Terrorist Affairs Bureau (TAB)

The Terrorist Affairs Bureau is the US Counter-Terrorism Agency headquartered in the mega-metropolis of New Frontier, the earths largest city.  It’s housed in a series of eleven connecting skyscrapers and employs over 30,000 employees. This US Government agency investigates domestic terrorist activity.  The TAB can command jurisdiction over all other law enforcement and government agencies, save the CIA and NSA.  

TAB agents can declare any crime an act of terrorism.  Doing so gives them legal jurisdiction over the investigation of a crime, crime scene or the apprehension of a suspect. They can also reverse their ruling as well, thus turning the investigation or apprehension of a suspect back over to the original law enforcement agency that initially responded.  

This has made them the ire of every law enforcement agency in the mega-metropolis of New Front.  An ire coupled with the fact that TAB detectives and investigative agents, or street agents, are usually very well educated, very well paid, and sometimes express an air of class superiority within the law enforcement community. Shock Troops Shock Troops are special weapons and tactics officers of the Terrorist Affairs Bureau.  They are armed and trained to meet terroristic threats up to and including armed conflict. Each division in the TAB has it’s own set of shock troops: Teams Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Kilo, Juliet, Sierra, Tango, Omega, and Zulu.

The TerroristAffairs Bureau is comprised of the following 10 divisions:

·       TheInsomniac Division

·       TheHeavy Mecha Division

·       TheQuick Response Unit

·       Weapons and Armory

·       Interrogation and Debriefing

·       Investigations and Arrests

·       Vehicles and Robotics

·       Legaland Jurisprudence

·       Intelligence and Monitoring

·       Research and Analysis

The most elite field detectives in the Terrorist Affairs Bureau make up this division.  This department was named The Insomniac Division because these detectives never rest until the get their man.  Most of them rarely sleep well either, fueled on unlimited cups of coffee, passion for the job and an almost vigilante desire to bring their suspects to justice.

BIO

Invisible Men are like ghosts.  They are highly trained government spies and skilled in espionage and light wetwork.  They carry out their missions so discreetly that their results can go unnoticed for days.  They are so skilled that eyewitnesses (which are rare) are unable to recall what they looked like and are even unable to identify them in a lineup.
