Gucci Intermittent

*For its real nature, see Drashktarr.*

The **Gucci Intermittent**, is a tactical agency formed to combat PROJECT through their specialised agents with unique abilities that enhance their overall skills in the battlefield. Lead by the ominous Nemesis, they are far more sinister than their very outlandish name suggests.

The agency instigates corporate wars against the MERCS, their divisions of OCTO and NONA, during the events of *Lost Light*. However, as the conflict progressed, evidence confirms that the agency is secretly a long-lasting cult that thrived for centuries.

## History

*For its true background, see Drashktarr.*

### Origins

The Gucci Intermittent was founded in 3010, at the height of the PROJECT-G/NEX War, although they preferred a low profile; knowing that the megacorporation seeks weaker opponents if they find themselves losing in their operations. It only took a few members to join mainly due to their founder wanted their agents to have "special abilities" that can help them enhance their skills in combat, infiltration, and most situations at hand. Indeed, they even hired the ruthless Blood Raider, who is known for being a killer and has ALMOST joined the megacorporation in order to improve his cybernetic body.

It was 3015 where they actually funded their entire agency and the whole thing was a powerful organisation. As they didn't have more members, they sticked to their own current roster of special agents, knowing their specialised abilities and roles can be a game changer against the corporate war.

### True Colours

Even though Gucci Intermittent has helped throughout *PROJECT-G/NEX War*, they only participated in the Rising Falcons' operations in a way that benefits them. As a result, they quickly left after the Rising Falcons disbanded when PROJECT was destroyed at the efforts of the G/NEX and their allies. As the planet becomes a bright blooming globe again, the alliance disbanded, and it took a while for all factions to leave in respect. Gucci however, quickly left the alliance suspiciously. As a result, they have been suspected of conspiracy, causing their headquarters to be shut down, and they relied on the nation of Ruj to resume their operations.

The agency notorious for getting a fight with MERCS, resulting in the death of Blood Raider. The others are still alive, and are now able to get a handful of Nextech for their own means. Their intentions are simple, to prove that they are the best gun-for-hire agents, regardless of the enemies and allies that they cross in order to carry out their agenda.

### Bygone: The Uprising

Gucci Intermittent has operated in the shadows to escape being shut down by MERCS and Winslow Systems, from whom the two factions have further proof regarding their illicit operations and massive, futuristic landmarks that no one has authorised them to build. As a result, they use covers to disguise their constructions, which look genuine enough to conceal their covert establishments. Gucci's establishments are just their bases, outposts, and battlefield arenas, which they plan to attract MERCS to fight in for the sake of territorial control and death games. It is clear that they took advantage of another war to gain authority.

### Lost Light

During *Lost Light*, Gucci Intermittent amassed enormous money by organising a series of proxy wars in order to finally beat MERCS and demonstrate their superiority. However, this causes the group to target their main source of power: The Starcore, forcing them to defend it at all costs in order to maintain the secrecy of their operations, and artificial battlefields have been created to combat the enemy mercenaries without facing public disdain when things get out of hand. Clearly, they devised some sort of monopolistic, lethal series of wargames to their advantage and the detriment of MERCS' extremely capable mercenaries.

They later became the receiving end, forcing them to split MERCS in two, with NONA being large enough to run Nanopolis, a megacity in Roji, whilst OCTO opposes them. OCTO notably knows the truth about the Intermittent's actions and vows to destroy them for it.

#### The Division

Following a heated confrontation during *The Division*, the Gucci Intermittent has revealed their true name as the Drashktarr after separating MERCS. The leader Nemesis explains that it derives from a Cromatian word for the fabled Lernaean Hydra, as does the agency's motto: "If a head is cut off, two more shall take its place," declaring the agency's resilience and growing might in the face of opposition. With the advantage, the Drashktarr quickly dropped their facade title and proceeded to fund their war games, which pitted OCTO and NONA in a series of competitive war games that the agency had to observe and judge as if it were a sports competition.

## Structure

The Gucci Intermittent is a special operations agency designed to combat the megacorporation through special operations such as: Special reconnaissance and surveillance in hostile environments, Foreign internal defence: training and development of other states' military and security forces, Offensive action, Counter-insurgency support through population engagement and support, Counter-terrorism operation, Sabotage and demolition, and, of course, hostage rescue. The agents use their allegedly superpowers effectively to improve their capabilities in these operations.

In actuality, it is a private agency seeking to become a corporation by fighting over MERCS for territory, through armed combat with the use of technology and even abilities.

## Trivia

### General

* The agency's real codename is the Drashktarr.
* Gucci is the name of the *true* founder, Harrington Gucci. However, he was then killed by Nemesis after its foundation.
* S.O.L.A.C.E is their rival before MERCS. Though this is later found out as a blatant and untrue claim.
* For a rebel organisation, they are the wealthiest, and makes the G/NEX poor by comparison. In fact, AXED-PROJECT is their sole weapons provider.
* They all use COALESCENCE technology, particularly their electronics.
* They were ecstatic about the *G - Rising Falcons* alliance. As a result, they even attempted to enlist the services of EQUINOX-612 and SCYLLA-028, to no avail.
* The prestigious agency was responsible for funding and protecting a secretive terrorist group, calling themselves the Neo Renegade, whom are known for their lavish facility in Masada and the advanced weapons they carry, particularly when provoked in combat. They shall not be underestimated.
* Before they became Sinister, they have done some good things in the *PROJECT-G/NEX War*, having joined the Rising Falcons and helped them finish the war that has ben dragged for so long.
* Clearly, the agency did not abide to the *Future Weapons Withdrawal Act*. When the media asks about their weapons, they simply, cleverly covered it up by stating that their "guns are placed in fancy cosmetic shells that serve no purpose, but to look beautiful." It ironically received positive response from the public.
* This agency is merely a bright facade of the Drashktarr. Seven has confirmed it somewhere during *Shattered Armistice*.
