KATAR

The Kinetic Acrobatic Training and Research team (commonly known as KATAR) was an advanced special operations team that was made for heavy combat and tactical measurements.

Background
The KATAR series became operational on January 8th, 1979 as a line of new armor and weapons for special operations units, including the American Navy SEALS. Later years saw them taken up by robotic soldiers, both humanoid and non-humanoid in appearence. They were deployed just in time when Anarchists bombed the old capital of Washington D.C. on June 25th, intent on taking over Earth. That same say the KATAR units dealt with the anarchists swiftly and effectively, ending their brief occupation.

A similar incident occurred in New Boston, Washington in February 17th, 2003 when another anarchist group occupied the NBPD Headquarters. President David Santis ordered the deployment of both KATAR units and the National Guard, but due to reasons unknown only the National Guard arrived. Thanks to the use of the new R6 Revolver among the National Guard, the anarchists were quickly arrested though with some casualties. Thus, the KATAR units were not needed.

In the wake of the 2011 Incident, and other tragedies that followed such as the crashing of an NSSF ship in Washington, KATAR issued a Code Yellow activation of the new GLADIS program in May 31st, 2019. GLADIS came to full operation two days later.
