Public Agenda

SWAT was assembled to eliminate threats to Vareholm and train its people, new arrivals in particular, to survive in "The Land of Horrors". Its members, who are accepted solely by recruitment, are required to make a vow to provide their skillsets when needed and promote their unique style of "Cobra Kai" martial arts.

Assets

SWAT Headquarters was constructed on the southwestern side of Vareholm against the Practice Field, in order to take advantage of the "hole" in the Barrier that allows combat to occur within its confines. This allows training to take place both indoors and out. The HQ itself, designed by Traains Weck and Jack Tillerman, consists of a main reception area, several bedrooms for members, a weapons locker, and a training room. In addition, the building has an underground portion that is nearly labyrinthine in layout consisting of many secret areas and false exits.

History

SWAT was established in Highsun, 241, by founding members Traains Weck, Jack Tillerman, and Caelam Zefer. Each founder represented a letter in the name of the organization: the Survival instincts of Jack, the Weapons expertise of Caelam, and the Tactics and strategy of Traains. Soon after the construction of the HQ, Mirini Heartstone was recruited as the first Initiate by Caelam and Traains, both of whom were greatly impressed by her tenacity on the Field shortly after her arrival in town. Zephyr was recruited not long after, having already demonstrated his abilities in several missions and proving himself a competent investigator (and secretary).
While not yet full members, several other people have become loosely associated with the group. This includes Ieara Biros as medic and healer and Arias Dreisari as an intelligence consultant.
