A federal squad answering a superhuman incident in force — eight to twelve agents in dampening armor, plus a specialist trained for hostile engagement. Professional. Will open fire the instant a superhuman fires first. If the team's facing a Containment Team, the situation's already outrun their authority.

Signature moves: establish a perimeter, deploy the dampener, demand surrender, escalate to lethal force on order.

Defeated by: the team reading legible to COMPASS, or their COMPASS Handler calling the response off.

Appearance: Matte-black dampener armor with no unit markings, visors down, a specialist's gear rig standing out from the rest of the formation. Moves in a tight, wordless formation that never breaks stride.
