Uranio Toxo

**Uranio Toxo** (Cosm. **Ουράνιο Τόξο** — *rainbow*, lit. *"uranium bow"*) is an elite counter-terrorism unit that falls under direct control of the Galactic Union's Common Security Council. The unit was formed in 2043 to more effectively combat terrorism throughout the Galaxy by forming a unit consisting of elite special forces operatives from all corners of the Milky Way.

## Field structure

### Directors

*Main page: Cordon Toxo.*

The **Director** is the lead person managing Uranio Toxo. This person always has a direct contact with the Common Security Council. Usually the director has a deputy in case he/she is unavailable for any reason. In rarer cases, Directors have been personally involved in the execution of different operations.

* Nikola Nikolas (2043-2047);
* Aphroditia Helios (2047-2049);
* Ieso Hristo (2049-2057);
* Iman Gordal Dakhifu (2057-2058);
* Kikhscharintphehon (2058-2069);
* Socrato Iakov Fotis (2069-2071);
* Nikola Nikolas (2071-2075);
* Stelara Polia (2075-2078);
* Nemeyo Heka (2078-present).

### Dispatchers

The **Dispatcher** (*Επτά*) is the commanding rank of Uranio Toxo. This rank is assigned to operators who are clearly superior to others in terms of tactical and strategic thinking, as well as in handling weaponry and special equipment. The dispatchers manage how the Uranio Toxo operations are carried out, both on a large scale and among individual detachments. The lower ranks are obliged to fully trust the dispatchers and unquestioningly follow their instructions.

The Dispatcher rank is divided into *Static dispatcher* (*Εποπτεία Επτά*) and *Field dispatcher* (*Κινητό Επτά*), where the Static dispatcher takes on the role of the headquartered coordinator, while the Field dispatcher is actively participating in the operation's execution.

* Marika Samaroti (2084-present);

### Operators

The **Operator** (*Χειριστής*) is the main field rank of Uranio Toxo. Operators usually carry out more complex and sensitive tasks, as they have more experience, skill and better teamwork than Rapid Response Units. An operator has the right to manage a squad of Agents. Appointed by the dispatcher.

Operators have differing ranks (O category).

* Okhrischzinmakh (2065-2068);
* Nemeyo Heka (2072-2073);
* Kalin Netev (2075-present);
* Marika Samaroti (2076-2078);
* Harriet Haslinger (2083-present);

### Agents

The **Agent** (*Πράκτορας*) or the **Rapid Response Unit** (*Μονάδα Ταχείας Αντίδρασης*) is the lowest and most numerous rank of Uranio Toxo. Agents perform tasks that require fast, accurate and successful actions. Numerous times, these units reported to the scene and dealt with the situations much faster than the police special forces.

Agents have differing ranks (MTA category).

* Harriet Haslinger (2080-2082);

## Operations

While Uranio Toxo specialises in land-based counter-terrorism by means of coordination between different governmental instances across the Galaxy and an array of special tactics, by the year 2084 UT was essentially directed by the GU's Common Security Council to fight the war against the Grey Order for the Union. Galactic Union legislation managed to achieve such subordination by recognising the Grey Order not as a separate governmental entity, but rather as a terrorist organisation, which practically forced an elite counter-terrorist unit such as the UT to intervene first.

## Emblem

The Uranio Toxo emblem (or its logo) might be seen as a form of crossover between the Sector Trade Coalition icon (the flag of which is a rainbow, symbolising each of the seven Sectors) and the Galactic Union Police Force's emblem (which is a dark-blue triangle with a red star in the middle). The colours in the Uranio Toxo logo being arranged akin to wings symbolise its units' fast response speed and the white stripe above the icons symbolises the unification of the aforementioned Sectors' powers (given that all colours of the rainbow produce white when mixed).

## History

The Uranio Toxo unit was formed in the year 2043 by the Common Security Council per Nikola Nikolas' request. At the time, Nikolas was an officer in the GUPF. Seeing how many tasks the forces had failed over the past several years, Nikolas finally decided to write a message straight to the Common Security Council with a request to form a new, elite unit to fight terrorism throughout the Milky Way galaxy, which became the Uranio Toxo unit. Accordingly, Nikolas became the first director of the organisation.

> <...> With all due respect to the Galactic Union and its organs, I can not but express my disappointment with the recent work of the police forces of the Union. The modern police, as we know it today, has existed for over nine hundred years, but despite all its power and magnitude, its units often fail to deal with different manifestations of criminal activity in certain places of our beloved Galaxy, either because of inaccessibility or because of slow responses, maybe, dare I say, even incompetence. Small criminals and large terrorist groups take advantage of these shortcomings, and illegality reigns everywhere except in Sectors 1-5, where police forces are concentrated. Even if they are the most important Sectors for the Union, this does not mean that we can leave the civilians of Sectors 6-10 without help at such a cruel time for everyone. After all, at least think about the radical nationalist manifestations that have arisen both in Sector 9 and in Sector 4, which is quite close to us. I suggest that you consider creating a separate organisation consisting purely of the elite, the best of the best, the wisest of the wisest, in order to, if not to completely destroy, more effectively suppress what can potentially lead the society of the entire Galaxy to anarchy and rapid destruction. To do so... <...>
