Homebase Enforcement Team

The **Homebase Enforcement Team** is a law enforcement agency that is responsible for the law enforcement and criminal investigation on the Sovereignty of Homebase. Because it's a separate entity from the Ruling Council, the Enforcement Team reports directly to the Council of Homebase's Sovereignty. The HET works hand-in-hand with the Offices of Criminal Investigation when it comes to intergalactic crimes that ties with Homebase.

The HET has a notorious reputation for being a very corrupt agency, often doing deals with criminal syndicates to run their operations on Homebase and even run the Black Market. A few units of the HET even runs the Black Market themselves.

## History

### Tales from the Supercluster: Special Cases

The Homebase Enforcement Team assisted the OWISCB investigation team that investigated the series of cyberattacks against the OverWatch V.O.X. System in District 2, providing primarily with logistics such as a vacant office space in Nexus-2 and granting them access to their database. The Enforcement Team assisted with the Investigation Team by locking down the Market Precinct in Central Province in order to make room for the investigation team to raid a building that was suspected to be the source of the cyberattack.

During the series of attacks against the investigation team, an Enforcement Team unit was dispatched to an alleyway to clear out the casualties and secure Third Class Agent Naofa Niro, Captain Kenya, Rank 3 Agents Kaba Yen and Cobi Ippei. Shortly afterwards, a Homebase Enforcement Team unit in District 4 was dispatched to Commerce Precinct 33 in Province 12 to investigate a gruesome crime scene that was unknowingly left by Agent Niro and Captain Kenya after they were jumped by mercenaries from the Collective Mercs Association. Back in District 2, an Enforcement Team unit was dispatched to Province 9 in the 12th Industrial Precinct after Agent Niro and Captain Kenya raided a C.M.A. Hub that had ties to the series of attacks on the investigation team, as well as to the cyberattacks.

In the following morning, an Enforcement Team unit in District 6 was dispatched to assist the Internal Affairs Bureau and the OverWatch Army in investigating the scene of the showdown that lead to the discovery of Second Class Agent Bo Mennrick's mutiny.

### Phase 5

District 3's Enforcement Team had the nastiest reputation among the entire agency, which is why by the time District Administrator Luci Lien came into power she assigned a close and long time friend - Margois Endu as Chief Enforcer of District 3's Homebase Enforcement Team. Chief Endu, according to Major Jace Zephyr, made several reformations in order to crackdown the corruption and focus more on the gang activities that plagued District 3. Major Zephyr mentioned that the reformations were efficient, and that it made it difficult for him to keep doing deals with the Fevers.

When Ichor Seraphim was captured and held captive at the OWGRO's main laboratory in District 3, the HET was made aware of the increase in security. Despite that, a group of Resistance fighters under the leadership of Void Seraphim managed to make their way to Homebase District 3 through the help of Finn Hopkins, in a mission to free Ichor. The group's first encounter with the HET was during a hit on a supply train, the whereabouts of this train was allegedly given by Major Jace Zephyr, according to Capo Snaz. An Enforcement Team unit responded to a gun fight between the Triple Kings and the Fevers at Atari Enterprises HQ, the latter was being lead by Marcus Castellano himself. Major Zephyr was also involved with selling information about Nexus-3's anti cruiser cannon, that could potentially be beneficial to the Group's escape.

Around this time, a diner owner in Central Province by the name of Nikolaj Aratov was arrested by the OWISCB pair Assistant Special Class Agent Alastor Lien and Second Class Agent Pathfinder, for suspicion of being involved in organized criminal activity, handing the custody of Nikolaj to the HET. Since his arrest was personally supervised by Chief Endu under the behest of D.A. Luci, Marcus could not negotiate the freedom for his underboss, which meant that Nikolaj had become a liability and that he needed to be silenced, a liability that both the Fevers and Major Zephyr's unit were utmost concerned about. As such, Major Zephyr, for a brief moment, helped the Resistance group as they accepted to the errand by purposefully giving them access to the HET carrier that had Nikolaj detained and set it up as a "suicide". However, things do not go as planned as the OWISCB's hellish duo intervened, causing Major Zephyr to prematurely break the truce and assist the ISCB Agents. When word of Nikolaj's death reached the top brass of District 3's HET, Chief Endu initiated an audit with the Enforcement Team's internal affairs division, Major Jace Zephyr was forced to rat out the Fevers' base of operations - the Casino by Warehouse 3. Major Zephyr's unit commenced the raid, secretly under the supervision of Inquisitor V.

Soon after cutting their losses with the Fevers, the Resistance group decided to infiltrate the OWGRO's main labs, and after being detected - the Homebase Enforcement Team quickly responded. The unit was lead by Colonel Hatake Mirsho, under the supervision of Chief Endu as the Commissioner of District 3's Central Province, Wyatt, was ordered to keep managing the Province's security during the raid. The HET cooperated with the Offices of Criminal Investigation and the OverWatch Army, all of which was supervised by Naval Command General Gilart Koburn and Chief Air Marshal Eli Kyurtinski. An Enforcement Team unit was injected with Air Marshal Eli - lead by Major Zephyr, though the first team was eliminated fairly quickly. The lab raid ended with an OverWatch Naval Cruiser crashing into the metropolitan area of Central Province, District 3's Enforcement Team was at a complete disarray from the destruction and chaos, that eventually the entire Province was placed under martial law by Administrator Constantine. In the aftermath, Administrator Y demanded Inquisitor V to enact immediate justice on the unit that gave Void and his group knowledge aboout the anti cruiser cannon, the latter immediately executed Major Jace Zephyr upon sight.

When word of that the Resistance's group had made their way to District 9, District Administrator Jonathan Trudeau consulted with the HET's Chairman - Quirnerous Anstar, and Chief Enforcer Victoria Colins about the local safety measures and what they could learn from District 3's supposed failure. District 9's Central Province's Commissioner Antonio Killjoy was placed incharge of hunting down the Resistance's group who, unknowingly to the HET, had started working with the Blue Cross Movement - Commissioner Killjoy was warned by D.A. Trudeau about the fate of Commissioner Wyatt's failure of securing the Central Province, revealing that Wyatt had committed suicide out of dishonor.

## Uniform

Homebase Enforcers are recognised for being much more heavily equipped than even the average OWOCI Enforcer. HET Enforcers are equipped with a primarily black uniform with dark blue linings along their arms and a trench coat that goes down to the top their calves, they have been described for wearing a pair of black gloves with long cuffs, daunting dark green trousers with a pair of black boots. Homebase Enforcers are seen equipped with a heavy grade kevlar vest from the OWOCI enforcer's kevlar armor - with the text "OVERWATCH" written on their backs, along with the initials "DXYY - ZZZZ" under it, the X being the District number, the Y being their Precinct Number and the Z being the unit number. Their rank insagnia is displayed on their left chest on both the uniform and the kevlar vest, just below their badge that has been described to be the HET's emblem. Higher ranking officers are often more formally dressed, Chief Enforcer Endu was described to be wearing the standard white uniform for government workers. Both officers and enforcers have been seen wearing a dark orange armband on their left arms with the 5th Army's Red Circle.

Enforcers carry an equipment belt around their hips that carries equipment necessary to carry out their duties, such as handcuffs, holster for their service arm, an expandable stun baton, crowd control spray, a radio that has a shoulder speaker, and a PDA. Enforcers are also typically seen wearing a riot helmet with a visor instead of a regular hat to match their uniform, which is a testimony to the danger of their work compared to an OCI Enforcer. On top of that, most Districts require that Enforcers must conceal their identity with a special mask that also doubles as a gasmask as the air in most of these Districts are also polluted. However, in the more "safer" and prosperous districts, Enforcers do not conceal their faces and instead can be seen wearing sidecaps similar to the design of the OCI's.

Homebase Enforcers are issued with the LE Q-220 as their service pistol, and on occassions where reinforcement is needed - they are armed with the HE-5 submachine gun.
