CBSS Special Activities Division
The CBSS Special Activities Division was founded in March 2671 in response to waves of infiltration attacks cross Iron Stars Federation planets. This branch of the CBSS military is part of its Army, but answers directly to the CBSS Chairman.
This unit is the only unit with a special dispensation to perform kinetic operations on CBSS worlds- a stark contrast to the normal peacekeeping duties of most internally stationed CBSS defense forces.
Composition
Manpower
The CBSS Special Activities Division is a division strength element of 12,000 soldiers. The division does not deploy in its full strength to any one area but instead its various detachments are spread across the CBSS worlds.
2,000 of the total compliment are headquarters and intelligence gathering personnel. These persons are stationed within a heavily defended office on Pelasgon and handle the training, medical, procurement, verification of leads, and other support services the Special Activities Division needs.
It is currently unknown if the Special Activities Division will grow in size as security concerns mount.
Equipment
The CBSS Special Activities division is considered a light infantry division, but has been given full access to the vast CBSS aresenal. This allows the unit to requisition armored vehicles, aircraft, conveyance on polity starships, and even suits of combat mechs from the vaunted CBSS mech forces.
In stark contrast to the conventional armor worn by the rest of the CBSS forces, when infiltration is not required to complete the mission, the Special Activities Division wears crimson red combat field uniforms or assault suits. Red armored figures kicking down a door has been the last thing many terrorist cells operating within CBSS space have seen since the time of the unit's establishment.
Weaponry
The CBSS Special Activities Division favors the laser rifle.
Scouts and Officers are commonly issued with shear rifles due to their unique roles within the unit, though these rare pretech firearms do not exist in enough numbers to outfit every scout or officer.
Heavy weapons and combat engineering equipment vary depending on the mission, but are all equivalent to tech level 4 standards.
Structure
The Special Activities Division is headed by the CBSS Chairman. Though they have the final yes or no on operations, the day to day running of the unit is handled by a Major General. From there communications are passed down through the majors, captains, and lieutennants in charge of the scattered formations across
