Group 8 "The Red Echelon"
Members: 11,290
Founded: 22 A.D. Known bases & outposts: Research, Exploration, and Development Slogan: "Family through fight and flame." The Red Echelon is the 2nd largest organization in The Darkrooms. They have been around for 28 years having gone through many leaderships in that time due to their democratic election process. |
Unlike T.A.S.K., Red Echelon elects half of its board every two years. It's essentially a democratically-elected research and exploration organization. Many find this a much more attractive premise than T.A.S.K.'s much more top-down distribution of power. In fact, The Red Echelon was formed as an offshoot from T.A.S.K. decades back. Some scientists, explorers, and engineers felt that T.A.S.K. was failing in its stated goals of research, exploration, and development so they made a new org with more transparency at all levels and to the public.
