Stories of events, beings, and items of unexplained behaviour have existed since the dawn of man. As humanity stepped forth from our caves and began exploring our surroundings, we shine our lights into the dark to discover a world ripe for our harvest. We made farms, we tamed the wild beasts, we built cities, and we claimed we had conquered all the was to be conquered and learned all that there was to be learnt.

And yet, some shadows evaded that light Some beings refused to be tamed. Some events failed to be explained. Some items confounded our greatest engineers. These were not the rule - but the exception. These were, in the truest sense, Anomalies.

From the cities and factories and the very heart of civilization, came an organization to pick apart these shadows. This group, a great monolith of order and logic, would never be seen by the public. It would never be announced by any nation, and its actions would be left from any history book. This would be the Anomalous Research, Gathering, Exploitation, and Neutralization Task force.

History

ARGENT traces its origins to the early occult groups - both those run by governments, and those run by criminals - that, over the course of the last century have begun to coalesce. The earliest records of ARGENT as a task force, however, go back to the Auroran struggles of 1882, and the pre-War escalation that enabled governments to dedicate a constant budget towards the suppression of the occult.

Late 20th Century

Modern History

Participating countries

Members

Currently, Ichoria, Achysia, Estradia, Kathia, Grothbord, Zhenia, Toloria, and a handful of smaller nations are all active and contributing members of ARGENT, although the level of commitment varies wildly.

Disbanding

Currently only Educandi is calling for the disbanding of ARGENT, in favor of more localized, smaller-scale management of anomalies with an international information system only.

Structure

ARGENT is composed of multiple closely-knit but ultimately independent Divisions.

ARES Division

ARES Division (Advanced Research, Exploitation, and Support Division) is one of the core areas of ARGENT. It's responsibilities are primarily focused around the Scientific side of ARGENT. As such, they are responsible for the development and procurement of specific Methods of Containment for all anomalies; similarly, they're also responsible for extracting usable technology from contained anomalies. ARES Division assets are present at - and typically oversee - all sites under ARGENT control.

BFG Division

BFG Division (Ballistic Field and Garrison Division) comprises the seven primary Armed Task Forces (ATF-1 through ATF-7) overseeing human and physical security, as well as deployment of groups within their designated area of operations. Armed Task Forces are structures as follows:

  • ARMED TASK FORCE 1 (ATF-1) - A formation lead by a Major General, tasked with the study of, defense against, and capture of anomalies within ARGENT Area 1, as well as ground security on all ARGENT Sites in Area 1.
    • Mobile Battlegroup 1-1 (MBG 1-1) - The first Battlegroup in the first ATF, MBG 1-1 is a light mechanized group typically distributed among Sites in the Task Force Area to ensure site security, as well as provide heavy responses to stubborn anomalies.
      • Mobile Armed Security Team G1-1A (MAST G1-1A) - The first of three mechanized companies under MBG 1-1, MAST G1-1A has a large enough complement to aggressively secure or neutralize almost any threat ARGENT has encountered to date thanks to a wide array of vehicles at it's disposal. See Equipment for more details.
      • MAST G1-1B - Identical to MAST G1-1A
      • MAST G1-1C - Identical to MAST G1-1A
      • MAST A1-1D - Attached to MBG 1-1 is an air attack squadron, a small group of aircraft dedicated directly to the support and defense of MBG 1-1 assets utilizing the latest and most cutting-edge, as well as situation-tailored, equipment possible. Often the aircraft used are simply too expensive, or of too narrow scope, for everyday usage.
    • Mobile Battlegroup 1-2 (MBG 1-2) - The second Battlegroup of the first Task Force, MBG 1-2 is a light infantry group used for a wide variety of roles. While their firepower is somewhat less than a conventional mechanized battlegroup, they more than compensate with their ability to field a large number of small teams over a wide area, to assist with everything from search, to recovery, to destruction, to simple manpower requests.
