Intelligence Officer (IO) - The Intelligence Officer (IO) is an expert in espionage and counter-espionage. Intelligence personnel are typically well-trained in covert operations, security systems, computer technology and communications. While an Intelligence specialist is an expert in undercover activities they are by no means "undetectable." Many a spy have been captured and executed. Duties include information acquisition and target infiltration.

Strategic Officer (SO) - The SO's primary function is coordinate the teams movements with other intelligence teams or Starships in the area. It is the SO's job to plan the overall entry into an area, and the teams extraction route. As the position's name suggests, they are responsible for the overall strategies done by the team.

Logistics Officer (LO) - The Logistics Officer (LO) oversees the procurement, maintenance, and transportation of materials, personnel, and facilities for the team. Logistics also handles the tactical details of an operation. This is similar to the OPS officer on a starship, and many LO officers were once OPS Officers.
