The Special Adept Forces (S.A.F.) are a super-elite branch of Cardinal's military created in very recent history to incorporate it's infamous populace of aspiring power-wielders. While its sister branch, the Ranger Guard, has a more protective aim and takes a broader range of recruits, the S.A.F. is a more assertive branch that actively pursues Cardinal's interests in other countries, as well as countering major threats to peace back home. While some mortal-level consultants and technicians work in S.A.F. establishments and consider themselves part of the team, the true S.A.F. are all power wielders, and exceptionally good ones, at that.

Duties

The S.A.F. are the physical representation of Cardinal's might, both on Earth, as well as toward other galactic nations. The primary goal of this branch of the Army is to spearhead resistance efforts against invasion with tremendous, superhuman force. However, as Cardinal is not always at war, they have many ancillary duties, as well.

These duties include:

  • Overseeing order on the Prison Island
  • Guarding international Portal gates and other ports of transit
  • Securing the country's borders
  • Enforcing Cardinal interest in foreign affairs (assisting allies, ousting threats, etc.)

Membership

Technically, anyone within the Cardinal Army can request a transfer to the S.A.F. division. However, almost zero of such requests are actually honored. More often than not, the S.A.F. does its own recruiting, specially selecting power wielders who are recognized combat veterans and are loyal to their country. Most Special Adept Forces recruits come directly from the Ranger Guard, as the specialized training within that branch gives them a certain edge over most civillians or dissociated military personnel. Occasionally, however, they do reach out to even unenlisted power wielders, when they posess uncanny abilities that the S.A.F. believe can be used to their advantage.
