Files Relating To Groups-Of-Interest

The following files have information relating to groups-of-interest to the Foundation:

The Chaos Insurgency

Summary:

The Chaos Insurgency is a splinter group of the Foundation, created by a rogue cell that went A.W.O.L. with several highly useful SCPs in 1924. Since then, the Insurgency has become a major player on the world stage, using the SCPs that it obtains for its own personal benefit, and to consolidate its global power base. The Insurgency not only deals in SCPs, but also in weapons running and intelligence gathering.

It makes use of dictator regimes in Third World countries, often using their populations in the same manner as the Foundation does D Class Personnel. Because of this, it helps to maintain the extreme poverty and war that is suffered by these countries, so that it can continue its radical experimentation, easy conscription of forces, and lucrative business deals with rebel factions.

Most of the SCPs possessed by the Insurgency are unknown, but of those that are known, the most notable are the "Staff of Hermes", an item capable of warping the physical and chemical properties of any matter it touches, and the "Bell of Entropy", an object that can cause a variety of destructive effects depending on where it is struck. Both of these SCPs were originally obtained at no small cost by the Foundation, and were stolen by the original founders of the Insurgency. The Insurgency also has a known association with SCP-355 and SCP-884.

The main base of operations of the Insurgency is unknown, as are its leaders. This organization is directly antagonistic to the Foundation, coming to clash over SCP several times. Personnel are made to be aware of possible raids, terrorist attempts, and spies from the Insurgency, and to notify command about any strange behavior of fellow personnel.

The Factory

Summary:

Little is known about The Factory, except that they seem capable of manufacturing anomalous artifacts — and that they use mass-production techniques to do so.

The Global Occult Coalition

Summary:

The GOC was created in the aftermath of WWII, from the remnants of defecting Occultists, Psychics, Priests and Scientists from Nazi, Soviet and Allied states, brought together and formed by the Allies. As the world stage broadened, so too did the number of countries that had their hands in the GOC, until it became what it is today.

The GOC are a largely political force, seeing themselves as the police of the paranormal world. They pride themselves on destroying supernatural entities, and make use of the most high tech experimental technology possible, obtained from their benefactors. Many potential SCPs have been destroyed by them before the Foundation could obtain and contain them.

They have been both on the side of the Foundation, and against it at times, depending on the situation. They largely hold the Foundation in contempt for their use and containment of SCP rather than their out and out destruction. The GOC has respected the Foundation's formidable might enough to leave it mostly alone, although there have been some questionable incidents with which the GOC have strictly denied involvement.

Agents of the GOC are to be treated with suspicion.

GRU Division "P"

Summary:

Originally named the ЧД АКН ("ChD AKN" , or Fourth Department Abnormal Occurrences Commission), it was established in early 1935 by direct decree of J. V. Stalin, its first task being the investigation of the murder of S. M. Kirov.

During WWII, the Commission expanded into Division "P" - Psychotronics, working to counteract anomalous threats from the SS, Ahnenerbe, and Vatican, and to capture and study anomalous artifacts both home and abroad for the benefit of the Soviet government. Division "P" has carried on with this role throughout the Cold War, making Foundation operations in the countries of the Comintern difficult.

After 1991, rushed restructuring coupled with budget cuts and the decommissioning and sale of a large number of assets resulted in numerous defections of their personnel1, and the flooding of European black market with anomalous items formerly in their possession. Currently, the Group of Interest poses little direct threat to the Foundation.

KGB 13th Chief Directorate (Defunct as of 1991)

Summary:

In 1925, the head of Soviet intelligence, Feliks Dzerzhinsky, became aware of the conflict between the Foundation and what would later become known as the Chaos Insurgency after armed skirmishes occurred in Soviet territory. Already aware of the existence of anomalies due to files seized from the Czarist Okhrana, Dzerzhinsky organized the Spetzotis,2 a subordinate department of the OGPU tasked with investigating, locating, and weaponizing anomalies that could be employed to combat counterrevolutionaries. As the Soviet intelligence services underwent multiple reorganizations up until 1954, the Spetzotis was shuffled through numerous parent agencies, finally becoming the 13th Chief Directorate of the KGB in 1954.

The KGB 13th Chief Directorate shared a long institutional rivalry with its counterpart in the GRU, Division "P", with cooperation between the two Soviet agencies being the exception rather than the norm. Relations between the Directorate and external groups such as the Foundation and GOC can best be described as "cold", with significant hostility but little violence.

Most of the 13th Chief Directorate's resources were devoted to research, development, and weaponization of anomalies, though the organization's success was limited. With the dissolution of the KGB in 1991, the 13th Chief Directorate was disbanded, with most of the personnel, resources, and anomalies entering the international black market.

Marshall, Carter, & Dark

Summary:

A “club” based in London, England. Catering to the super-rich and with extensive political and financial ties worldwide, this group has caused extensive problems for the Foundation. Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. is known for collecting rare and obscure items, along with providing its members the most exclusive, expensive, and rare experiences available.

These activities have resulted in conflict with the Foundation on numerous occasions. The group is not known for the use of force; they prefer to apply extreme financial and political pressure to achieve their goals. When forced to use more direct means, Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. employs outside agents, and it is very difficult to connect said agents to the organisation.

Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. has caused several SCP containment breaches, primarily through the use of money or social pressure. Several reports, records, and even items have been leaked by Foundation personnel who had been approached with large amounts of money, or threats of extensive jail time or torture. Notably, two containment sites were almost brought to public attention after the Foundation refused access to members of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd.

Information pertaining to Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd., such as the name of the director or even a list of members, has proven very difficult to acquire. Agents encountering members of this group are advised to maintain a cover story and not, for any reason, reveal Foundation ties or SCP information.
