They are the Knights of the Coast!"

KOTC Database Category: F.O.R.C.E.

While individual police, military and federal organizations had developed weapons and tactics to combat the growing incidence of paranormal criminal activity, a coherent Federal organization, trained and equipped specifically to deal with such individuals first came into being in April 2001, as mandated within the newly-passed Keene Act. F.O.R.C.E., the Federal Organization for the Regulation and Control of Exotics, as this new organization was called, was quickly formed by drawing upon the individual expertise of the other groups.

This tactical unit first saw public action in the attempt by certain paranormal criminal organizations to attack the Senate Committee convened to try Captain Thunder for his actions during the March Crisis. While three agents lost their lives during this confrontation and they failed to prevent the capture of Thunder, they did successfully assist in the capture of three supervillains and protected the lives of the Senators threatened in the attack.

While General Wade is still playing with the use of this force, as of their early inception a F.O.R.C.E. Squad consists of two Field Agents, one Heavy Weapons Agent and one Wild Card Agent. A fifth member, possessed of specific expertise for a particular mission, can be attached to a squad.

In mid-June, 2001, this unit was drawn into trying to bring down a "superhero" group gone rogue; the Knights of the Coast. After several failed attempts to do so (notably at the Strongpoint Temporary Holding Facility and via the activation of a prototype Enforcer Unit android), they did manage to take two of the Knights into custody in the aftermath of the robotic attacks upon the White House and Capitol Building, after which the rest of the team turned themselves in.

With sufficient evidence to convict the group under the Keene regulations, the government instead cut a deal by which the team would be forgiven its misdeeds in exchange for being dispatched to take down General Mayhem...

As of August, 2001, the F.O.R.C.E. gained a new ally in the war against rogue Exotics; the elite strike team called The Ultramarines, and led by a staunch supporter of the administration, U.S. Agent. As their joint press briefing stated, "This move is a response to the escalating level of exotic threats to national security that can no longer be met by superhero teams traditionally depended upon."
