Get ready for a unit of burly galactic spartans.
THE PENTAGON — Duffel Blog has learned from several sources of a secretive effort to stand up an elite unit of prima donnas with the fitness, tattoos, and writing skills necessary to undertake the country’s most dangerous missions in space.
“The Space Force SEALs [Space, Extra-planetary, Astral, Lunar] will stand ready to infiltrate across the space-time continuum in pursuit of critical national security objectives,” said a senior defense official.
“Damn few,” the source added.
Another source confirmed that in-depth planning is underway to ensure the elite unit of not-so-quiet professionals gets a strong start.
