Black Velvet

The **Black Velvet** is the Galactic Republic's covert operations division, largely composing of highly skilled female nevian athletic women. It is funded by Sergei Rubicon, Hagheyan Mulvey and was secretly monitored by Wolfgang Bale.

## Structure

The Black Velvet functions like a special operations regiment of a military, usually because most of their missions consists of espionage, infiltration, deception and sometimes typical warfare. Also, most agents are sent usually with light infiltration squads rather than a platoon or a fireteam. In fact, they barely had casualties when joining military operations. Also, they get paid exceptionally when they do there job very well, and they are treated fairly, no biases or extra treatment. Fortunately these women can enjoy their daily lives, when they aren't called for an urgent assignment.

The Women chosen are invited through an email or a letter, then when passed the interview they are put through strenuous daily training, including hand to hand combat training, acrobatics, weapons training, espionage, deception and tactical skills. Occasionally two women are chosen to violently spar against each other; weakness is not tolerated and the loser is knocked out by the opponent. Also, the *standard* test for measuring a woman's durability through punching or kicking their stomach 5-10 times, if less than five is what the recruit can handle, they are cast aside, but if they absorbed at least five, it's accepted. Also, they are required to practice ballet, to further enhance flexibility.

The "Graduation Ceremony", which takes place after the agents have successfully passed a series of physical and mental tests, involves the adult women being forcefully sterilized. Removing their ability to bear children, supposedly makes the Black Velvet graduates better killers; they never have to experience such weakness as worrying more about a family than their mission, though Rachelle Palmer is the only one to completely break free of not worrying about someone or something.

### Equipment

#### Uniforms

The Black Velvet agents are utilizing a two-piece, fireproof flight suit with a Rubicon Ultraspec camouflage that has it's design inspired from the one piece suits worn by Aerospace Panamoan Air Force as a standard. However, these are only worn when in not engaging in their covert operations. Agents on the field are required to wear a black zip-up Combat suit, that is actually a special, fireroof, tear-proof, flexible and skintight catsuit when doing the task of their missions. The catsuits are only worn when the female agent has a waist line of at least 28 (and if the woman has a svelte figure/voluptuous figure), and are concealed through normal clothing, then discarding the clothes in order to engage.

#### Personal Protection

When a large scale conflict ruins their covert operations, they can request to utilize a high tech armor. The standard field combat suits would be adorned with several pieces of Nevium fibre strips on its shoulders and frontal torso. Multiple FDE harnesses, straps, and holsters were also wrapped around each user. Their gloves and boots had a mechanism that allowed the wearer to adhere to and scale walls to a greater degree than without the suit. The boots also had small claws on the toes, meant to enhance kicks in unarmed combat. All of this gear was peaked with a creepy looking Vindicator helmet with purple goggles serving as a high tech visor.

## Trivia

### General

* Though They are sterilized, they still have freedom to enjoy their lives. Which was always promised and proven by the recruiters.
* There's no such thing as brainwashing in recruiting, but their memories are temporarily shelved when undergoing training.
