The Rhodes Island Elite Operators or simply Elite Ops is a branch of Rhodes Island consisting of distinguished field operatives, some notably having served R.I.'s predecessor Babel. The Elite Ops are usually only deployed when explicitly authorized by R.I.'s leaders.
Background[edit]
The Elite Ops were born of Babel's military tradition as Theresa wished to create an efficient command structure that could provide significant advantages for Babel's relatively small forces. Thus, elite soldiers of any race with exceptional combat capabilities were quickly promoted to frontline commanders, and the most qualified of them took part in Babel's most important decisions. Despite the command structure of the Elite Ops having significant advantages over the armed forces of the Military Commission of Kazdel in morale and tactics, there were significant risks of spies and traitors in the lower ranks of Babel.[1]
Organization[edit]
The modern Elite Ops answer directly to Amiya and Kal'tsit. They often possess tremendous strength and/or talent, one-of-a-kind abilities or Originium Arts, and a wealth of experience to back up their title, with most Elite Ops capable of easily handling squads of trained enemies alone. In most cases, when participating in a field operation, Elite Ops will be assigned to lead a specialized squad assembled for a specific goal from various departments. The Elite Operator Council acts as the representative body of the Elite Ops. Through "one vote, one value" voting, the Elite Ops provide valuable insight and opinions that allow Amiya to make an informed decision on important matters.[1]
Becoming an Elite Operator, however, is much simpler than one might expect. There are no assessments or strict requirements to join, and any Operator with outstanding expertise only requires the approval and formal recognition of Amiya, the Elite Operator Council, and the other R.I. leaders to be accepted into their ranks.[1][2] They have their own special room on Rhodes Island, accessible only to Elite Operators with keys imbued by Logos' Arts. The key will burn itself to nothingness if the owner passes away.[2] The Elite Operators are held in high regard while also being known as a group of eccentrics.[2]
