One of the divisions of O-12. There's also Bureau Toth from what I remember, among others I definitely don't remember.
A TAG used by Bureau Aegis and depicted as a (very) advanced one. It's manufactured by PanOceania. O-12 army, and the police of the Sphere.
Each division of O-12 has some specialization. The most used in lore are this (but there are some more). Bureau Aegis is the legal branch (supported by a military branch). Bureau Hermes controls the circulars and interstellar travel. Bureau Toth is about controlling Aleph and rogue AIs. Bureau Agni is about controlling energy sources. Bureau Gaea is about environmental protection. Bureau Athena for human rights Bureau Ganesh for trading. Bureau Lakshmi for health.
I think it would be really cool to see a faction that heavily incentivizes bringing a TAG. I hope 012 has really good support and defense for it
PanO being the "TAG faction" is old design space – at some point the game is going to have to evolve and faction personalities will evolve along with it.
From another O-12 speculation thread: https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/what-will-2019-bring.26476/page-13#post-206243 '=>' is about unit speculation, the bureaus and sections are from the RPG. The O-12 pillars: Unity, Cooperation, Support, and Progress. Bureau Aegis Section Statera (legal branch, lawyers) Section Spatha (O-12 military, tactical police force. If the lawyers from Section Statera can't deal with the problem this “Team Escalation” is send in. => Line Troops as tactical police force (AVA total) => Team Escalation as MI or HI => [Knights of Santiago and Imperial Service secure the Circulars, technically under the jurisdiction of Bureau Aegis] Psi Unit (Military Intelligence, technically part of Section Spatha but with a largely independent chain of command.) => TO Camo Infiltration (FO, KHD, AHD, Minelayer, Smoke) Bureau Agni Section Metis (research and development, working closely with Bureau Toth and ALEPH on experimental technology) => Engineer (Duo with REMs) (AVA 1) => standard REMs (ALEPH) => TAG Bureau Athena Section Clio (chronicler of ancient and recent history, search for truth, religion, ethics, humanism) => Warcor+ (AVA 1) Bureau Lakshmi (human health, medicine) => Doctor+ (AVA 1) Bureau Noir (secret service) => Operative: Impersonation, Sniffer (must have a Handler in Army) => Handler: Counterintelligence (AVA 1) Bureau Toth (supervision, support, and maintenance of ALEPH) => HD+, Jammer, E/M2, Pitcher, FastPanda Bureau Trimurti (support infrastructure, diplomacy and international relations) Bureau Concilium (governmental body) Bureau Gaea (planetary development and biological research) Bureau Ganesh (oversees international trade and economic practices) Bureau Tiandi (mapping and exploration of the wormhole network) Bureau Hermes (management of commerce and the Circulars, inter-system communications)
They... we... don't. We're hoping though, because it has a fairly disappointing performance and a really hype model.
