Imperial Bureau of TASKFORCE

The Imperial Bureau of TASKFORCE, commonly referred to as TASKFORCE or sometimes the The Bureau is a branch of the Galactic Imperium Military founded on the 2nd August 2206. 
Formed as a special forces branch of the military, the Bureau was created as an expansion to the smaller TASKFORCE that preceeded it. Officially created by the incoming Imperator, Harrison Steele, due to the increased demand required of TASKFORCE's services. The bureau is made up of three TASKFORCE groups, TASKFORCE Alpha, TASKFORCE Beta and TASKFORCE Delta, each operating independently of each other but sharing similar goals. The bureau leadership sets the overall missions for the groups, which they handle in the manner which they see fit.
Harrison appointed his brother Arthur Steele as the inaugural Commissioner of TASKFORCE, giving him complete operational control over the branch snd elevating him to the same status as the other military Commissioners of Staff.

The operational head of the military branch, the Commissioner of TASKFORCE has complete oversight over the entire bureau and directs its operations. Answerable only to the Imperator, the Commissioner holds an authority equivalent to the heads of the other military branches, and serves as part of the Imperator’s military council.

* Commissioner Arthur Steele (3rd August 2206-present)

The second-in-command of the military branch, the Deputy Commissioner serves under the Commissioner and assists in running the Bureau. Their day-to-day responsibilities include direct correspondence with the Captains/Assistant Commissioners to ensure TASKFORCE operations are running smoothly, and answering directly to the Commissioner.

===Captain of TASKFORCE===
The Captain of TASKFORCE is the highest ranking position in the field. Each of the three TASKFORCE groups are headed by a Captain of TASKFORCE, who carries out the missions assigned by the Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner and ensures their TASKFORCE group does what is required of them. The Captain of TASKFORCE may divide their time between desk work and field work, going out on dangerous operations that may require their direct insight. 
During times where all three TASKFORCE groups are required to work together in the field, one of the Captains may be given additional authority to command all the groups in the absense of a higher ranking member, they are usually granted the rank of 'Lead Captain'.
