TRIAD

TRIAD (Group)

TRIAD refers to an agency sponsored by the government of Altair dedicated to the protection of Altair's people and the fight for justice. The group was founded by a trio of androids, from which the group derives its name. They included Blitz, Lockjaw, and Shades. Ambassador Derrik Allen was the first member added to the roster and eventually became its leader. In addition to the normal membership of the group, primarily highly trained representatives of a number of different species from Alliance worlds, the group also has specialized sub-groups. These sub-groups include the following:

The Argons, shape-changing robots with powerful advanced weaponry usually deployed against other robots or more traditional military attack forces, alien or otherwise.

The M-13, a group of 13 mutants and their leader, who specialize in handling mutant-related crime found in the original timeline of Altair.

The Guardians (New World), a group of super-powered individuals who confront the threats too dangerous to be handled by more traditional TRIAD members, who famously have a code against killing their enemies which sometimes puts them at odds with the general membership of TRIAD. This version of the Guardians exists in the time-compressed "New World" timeline.
