SNAKE

SNAKE was a terrorist organization operating out of Apopka Lights, founded in 2066 by self-proclaimed "Supreme Leader" General Hiss. During its active years, SNAKE would regularly carry out acts of sabotage, destruction, theft, and espionage upon large private and government organizations. In spite of their destructive methods, SNAKE has been known to actively discourage acts of violence against innocent third parties, prompting large waves of recruitment approximately 2 years after its founding. It continued operating as a high profile organization for several more years before ultimately declining and becoming dissolved in 2076.

Dissolution

Although there is little public information on the dissolution of SNAKE, its collapse is often blamed on 3 primary factors: Low recruit retention, in-fighting among High Command, and the botched execution of several high profile plans.

Former SNAKE High Command members have spoken publicly about the dissolution, suggesting that the collapse was due in large part to the incompetence of General Hiss and hiss inability to properly maintain such a large organization.

Resurgence

Shortly after the televising of the Penumbra's Parley Massacre, General Hiss reappeared in Apopka Lights alongside an apparently revitalized SNAKE. Most prominent of their recent actions was the attack on Stairsgirl at Heaven's Tower, where the organization terrorized the local area before being ultimately foiled by Apopkan hero Mx. Cupid.

Structure

SNAKE membership is split into 3 main tiers.

Soldiers

Soldiers were the entry level position for a majority of former SNAKE recruits, being the main manpower behind a majority of the organization's plans. They were typically well trained and compensated for their work, but recruitment and retention declined following an apparent disregard for their population during the final years of SNAKE's existance.

Specialists

Specialists were highly trained and trusted members of SNAKE who were specialized in specific tasks and missions. From what little information is available, it would appear that the term 'Specialist' was relatively broad, including everything from Medical Staff to High Ordinance Explosives Specialists. Specialist groups were deployed far more sparingly than any other group in SNAKE, often being paired with a specific member of SNAKE High Command in conjunction with an equally suited mission. Despite this, they were apparently well compensated and far more likely to be promoted to said High Command.

High Command

SNAKE High Command was primarily built of highly trusted and skilled individuals from inside of the organization, and were in charge of all administrative action within SNAKE. According to testimony from former High Command members, members were given a high degree of autonomy with the caveat of all actions requiring Hiss' direct approval. This ultimately led to friction and in-fighting as members often felt stifled by Hiss' personal agenda, causing a high degree of instability within the organization.

Known members of SNAKE High Command included: General Hiss, Soldier One, Boa Constrictor, Night Sprinter (formerly Black Mamba), Medusa, and Death Adder.
