Counter (Mutant) Terrorism
(ex) RAF Pitreavie Castle
Established as part of the Directorate of Military Intelligence by the British War Office during the Second World War, Military Intelligence, Section 13 - also known as MI13 - was so heavily classified that it was believed not to exist by all but the most senior members of the intelligence community, and the most paranoid and superstitious of conspiracy theorists.
While other branches of military intelligence focused on everything from aerial photography and communications interception to scrutinising the enemy's technical and scientific advances, Section 13 focused on the possible threats posed by individuals posessing a mutated x-gene that gave them extraordinary abilities: something of particular concern given the Nazi obsession with Aryan eugenics and the occult.
"Operation Pelius" was the codename of an MI-13 task force that employed individuals with supernatural abilities to bring about an Allied victory. Unlike the super soldier program operated by the United States however, the British shied away from using their so-called "X-Men" as a propoganda tool, instead focusing on more covert and commando tactics.
While many sections of Military Intelligence were disbanded following the war, some continued to exist well into the Cold War. Moving to a new headquarters in the north of Scotland, "Operation Damocles" saw Section 13 become an organisation tasked with defending the security and sovereignty of Great Britain from the threat of those with "unnatural" abilities.
Eventually, the recession of the 1980s and the budget cuts led to the discontinuation of Operation Damocles; Section 13 was downsized considerably, and became part of Archives with the Security Service (MI-5).
With the mutant x-gene becoming more widespread in recent years however, Great Britain has been subject to a marked increase in mutant-related crimes and acts of terrorism. Following an attack on the Security Service mainframe by unknown elements and the assassination of a retired member of Operation Damocles, a small task force of mutagenics experts and Damocles veterans has been established to consult on such issues, unofficially known as Section 13. Without access to the same research and development resources as during the Cold War however, Section 13 has been forced to rely on a government contract with the US-based Treadstone Industries in order to source much of it's non-standard equipment.
