 ==== Emergency Assault Division ====
-Currently disbanded in the wake of scandals involving the use of the EAD as a means to eliminate political rivals, the Emergency Assault Division was formerly a group of individual specialists. EAD employed beings such as combat-oriented spellcasters, psions, cyborgs, mecha jockeys, and veteran fighters to act as a special operations unit against especially large threats, such as Kaiju.

-However, the team's use as an internal policing mechanism lead it into being twisted away from its original purpose, with the EAD Commander ordering EAD to attack political targets such as counsellors. When the scandal came to light, the EAD's combat personnel were suspended pending trials and investigation, and all assets were mothballed or redistributed to other units. The spiritual successor to EAD in terms of skill level and scope is RACCA.
+Currently disbanded in the wake of scandals involving EAD's assets as a means to eliminate political and personal rivals, the Emergency Assault Division was formerly a squad of individual specialists who had developed a bond on the field, before growing into a larger unit together. EAD employed beings such as combat-oriented spellcasters, psions, cyborgs, mecha jockeys, and veteran fighters to act as a special operations unit against especially large threats, such as Kaiju, weird things, and spearheading attacks to external threats to the Protocol. Their effectiveness in the field was the stuff of legends, with other UDD units nicknaming EAD the 'Superheroes' for their larger than life personae and widely circulated tall tales.
+With time though, the fast and loose approach to accountability and growing corruption from deep relationships lead EAD into being twisted away from its original intentions, with some of the EAD Commanders ordering troops to attack political or personal targets, disguising the missions by fabricating evidence. When the scandals came to light, the bulk of EAD's personnel was suspended pending trials and investigation, and all assets were mothballed or redistributed to other units. The spiritual successor to EAD in terms of skill level and scope is RACCA.

 ^ :!: For GMs | Many EAD units didn't put their gun down after leaving EAD, and work as roaming mercenaries, bounty hunters, pirates, terrorists, or criminals if they were not jailed during the investigations. Ex-EAD personnel can make frightening villains, or useful allies. |
