Hazard Team

Name: Hazard Team
Notes:  The hazard team was a type of military unit, an elite force of tactical officers, medics, marksmen, and pilots that were utilized to take control of extreme situations and high-risk away team missions from Zodiac Empire Galae, or Imperial Starfleet, vessels.
[b]Concept[/b]
The team was the brainchild of Lieutenant Commander Tuvok while aboard the [i]I.W.B. Voyager[/i] in the Delta Quadrant. For [i]Voyager[/i]'s unique situation, he felt that a team of advanced strike personnel were very necessary in the vastly unexplored region of the Delta Quadrant. To that end, he held a tryout on the ship open to any personnel, excluding senior staff officers, for the Alpha and Beta squads of the newly-christened [i]I.W.B. Voyager[/i] Hazard Team. The team was to be the answer to many dangerous situations, including high-risk away missions, defense of the ship, or even assistance within the ship's own high-risk areas.
Tuvok ended up assembling quite possibly the finest team he could have hoped for, although its genesis hardly reflects that. 
[b]Equipment[/b]
[u]Hazard Suit[/u]
The hazard suit was standard equipment for all members of an Imperial Starfleet hazard team. Designed by Lieutenant Commander Tuvok, it was devised for maximum maneuverability and ease of movement. The suit was accepted as a regulation duty uniform aboard [i]I.W.B. Voyager[/i] and became the standard for all [i]I.W.B. Voyager[/i] Hazard Team members, and later for hazard team personnel across the Imperial Starfleet. 
[u]Weapons[/u]
The team's standard equipment includes a regulation type-2 hand phaser, a compression phaser rifle, and field tricorder. Other weapons included the infinity modulator (simply known as I-MOD), as an effective countermeasure to Borg weapon adaptation. Other Zodiac Empire weapons in the hazard team's complement include the enhanced compression rifle, the Empire's assault rifle, the compound grenade launcher, as well as miniature photon burst and quantum burst launchers. Other weapons the team has encountered include tetryon pulse disruptors, tetryon Gatling guns, Etherian stasis weapons, Scavenger rifles, Rihannsu radiation disruptors, Dreadnought arc welders, and other forms of heavy weaponry.
