Directorate for the Procurement of Technology
The Directorate for the Procurement of Technology (Russian: Управление по закупкам технологий), also known as the UZT, is a shadowy organisation within the Russian government that is responsible for acquiring useful technologies and assets for the nation. The Directorate is reviled outside of Russia for its numerous crimes and flagrant disregard of sovereignty. Inside of Russia, however, they are considered national heroes for keeping the country up-to-date with the rest of the world.
The Directorate was founded in 2029, as Russia was losing the war in the Siberian Revolution. Cut off from the outside world due to heavy sanctions, the President authorised a special military operation to acquire the specifications for the American-made military hardware operated by the Siberian Independent Republic. The resulting operation resulted in over two dozen civilian casualties and half the Russian team killed, and nearly resulted in another war between NATO and Russia. Despite this, the mission was ultimately a success.
The successful proof of concept led to additional, albeit more covert, actions being conducted by the UZT. They have since conducted more than 100 operations in all corners of the world, and are considered a terrorist organisation by over 50 countries. However, they also continue to be highly effective at their tasks, and are feared by corporate and national security forces alike.
