Solitaire

Solitaires are the most enigmatic of the special forces of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, formed in the wake of the newfound rapid expansion of human space following the Dark Years and the need to rein in the increase of insurrectionism and separatism in the Coalition's colonies. As rebellions waxed and waned, the training and missions of Solitaires expanded to include conducting assassinations and mass psychological warfare, using both friendly and enemy populations as attack vectors.
The term "solitaire" arose for these individuals from those who had limited contact with them in the Security Information Network, seeing how their operations were conducted almost entirely solo. In fact, Solitaires were not even a part of the SIN—for purposes of operational security, their only appearances in Coalition records were as the fictitious 27th and 72nd Special Activities Groups, which were active until the end of the Corporate Revolution in 2245.
Psychological and bioaugmentation protocols used for the training and indoctrination of Solitaires were appropriated as the bedrock for later Coalition supersoldier programs such as SERPAHIM, MANTICORE, and PHOENIX. Despite being intended to be intelligence-oriented in objective, Solitaires (for those who know of their existence) are often referred to as the "first supersoldiers".
