Specter Team

Specter Team is a special forces team that is specially tasked in recovering Gray Tech and other alien artifacts. Specter team is also playable in Cooperative Play. They can be made up in a team as little as two people or as large as 8, and include classes such as Soldiers, Medics, and Special Ops.

Background
The origins of Specter Team was proposed by Major Richard Blake of SRPA to President Harvey McCullen of tasking the team to infiltrate Chimeran territories and retrieving advanced artifacts known as Gray Tech, after which the team first discover one of these objects in Chicago. The team's objectives and the Gray Tech they recovered are only known to members of SRPA with high security clearance.

Operations
Specter's first known operations was in Chimeran control Europe in 1951, tasking in espionage, and investigation of Chimeran related operations, such as Gray Tech or other ancient alien artifacts. Then from 1951 to 1953, Specter had been recalled to America in infiltrating American territories that have been felled to the Chimera, while trying to halt the enemy's advance into the Liberty Defense Perimeter and as well in retrieving Gray Tech components found within Gray Territory. The team was also requested by Col. Rachel Parker in containing and preventing Chimeran forces from re-invading Britain.

Following the Chimeran fleet invasion of America, Specter team's task in recovering the Gray Tech components became a higher priority, as the Gray Tech acquired from Bryce Canyon, Utah by Specter reveals supporting evidences of the doomsday weapon, the Prometheus Weapon, which leads to a frightening conclusion that the Chimera, led by Daedalus, are attempting to construct the weapon.

The team's priorities were later put to the task in stopping Daedalus and the Chimera from constructing the Prometheus Weapon in Holar, Iceland during Operation: Wrath of God. The operation became a total success in June 21st, causing all Chimeran forces in Iceland in total disarray and forcing Daedalus to abandon his pursuit of the Prometheus Weapon and retreating to the Chicxulub Crater. Specter Team's efforts were proudly recognized by General Douglas MacArthur, who announced that he will award each member of the team the Silver Star "for their bravery and selflessness in defense of their country".
