FORCE Ops

Freedom City in the Iron Age was a place that cried out for heroes, only costumed heroes were not allowed by law to operate in the city. By definition, the only heroes in Freedom City were those willing to defy the law in order to do the job. That devotion to justice and doing the right thing over the letter of the law was the foundation of the Freelance Organization of Criminal Elimination Operatives, or FORCE Ops.
Ethan Keller, aka Archer, formed FORCE Ops using the resources at his disposal—mainly a trust fund established by his mentor, Fletcher Beaumont II, the third Bowman. With access to money and information initially provided by The Freedom Ledger, Archer tracked down potential allies: heroes or outcasts operating in the shadows of the city. He brought them together and forged the unlikely allies into a powerful crime-fighting team.

Assets

FORCE Ops works out of an old industrial warehouse in the Greenbank district of Freedom City. Archer bought the warehouse through a dummy corporation and arranged for some discreet associates to renovate and retrofit it. The Warehouse is situated just below the Wallace Expressway near the South River on the Greenbank side of the Mona-Glenn Bridge.
Compared to headquarters like Freedom Hall, the Nucleus, and Centurion's Sanctum, the Warehouse is modest, to say the least. Still, it has state-of-the-art computer and communications systems, crash-space for all of the the members of the team, parking space for a few cars and the sky cycles and its own generators.
Naturally, FORCE Ops keeps the existence and the location of the Warehouse a secret. They make all efforts to throw off pursuit before returning to headquarters, and often do so along a roundabout route. The team uses the computer in their HQ to monitor an online BBS (bulletin board system) for informants and contacts, as well as eavesdropping on public police bands and other communications for signs of trouble.
