Known Risk Factors

88 Fraktion

Radical racist/postfascist group. Sometimes referred to as "Group 88" or other variants. Responsible for several moderate-profile attacks in the last two years. Financial backing through select sympathetic business figures. Origins in Western Europe. Strong conditioning for operatives: low liklihood of subversion or even intimidation. Operating under high threat from most governments throughout their sphere of influence.

Whisper Labyrinth

Crypto-anarchist group dedicated to sharing leaked anti-government information. Name derives from Carcosa mythos, the works of Ambrose Bierce, etc. and is related to beliefs in a mutable reality. Highly decentralised and unlikely to field coordinated operatives in large numbers. Surprisingly strong cryptography and operational secrecy.

Hamilton Petrochem

Forbes 500 company. Currently engaged in intense corporate conflict in the world energy markets. Large influence in civil affairs worldwide stemming from vast capital investment, use of national-level spin campaigns. While possessed of a large security department they appear reluctant to commit to main force.

Deuxième Bureau

Additional Risk Factor associated with presence of Agent VEGA. Deuxième Bureau (sometimes stylised as "2eB") is an undercurrent of French and postcolonial intelligence community dating back to the 1940s. Likely to deploy highly trained operatives in small cells or alone, dedicated to eliminating Agent VEGA in revenge attacks. 2eB operatives tend towards partisan tactics and are unlikely to treat ICA assets gently.
