While their modus operandi varies between each individual sect, Team Rocket is feared by some, respected by a few, hated by most, but as a whole, is known by everyone - no other criminal organization has a tenth of their power, and certain of its more militant sects are legendary for the sheer brutality they display. Nowhere on the planet is truly safe from the organization's influence. Adding insult to injury, TR is also one of the planet's leading scientific authorities - not publicly, of course, but Rocket labs often go far beyond cutting edge in their pursuit of knowledge, and the organization has an obscene amount of influence in a number of public laboratories; they provide funding and researchers, and in return, are the first to learn of any advances. Given their boundless funding and immense size, not to mention formidable military power, Team Rocket has managed to stay ahead of police and regional militaries for some decades - while there are plenty of arrests, government contacts are generally tapped within hours to free the occasional important TR member. Of equal importance, Team Rocket is rarely a harsh taskmaster once they do have control of a region, though the initial fracas is often bloody; enough people already hate them that they generally simmer down after reconstructing the target to their tastes, leaving behind only token occupation forces or disguised techies. Sects While the fact that TR is split into numerous subsects is fairly well known by now, the exact identities and quantities are generally fairly poorly understood: most sects wear the TR uniform and refer to themselves solely as TR when discovered, reflecting that the difference between sects is nearly unanimously internal to the organization. No secret is safe forever, though, and military intelligence has confirmed the identities of several. The Black Hand are one of the better known sects for two major reasons; they are one of the primary enforcers of Rocket will, and more importantly, they are nigh-legendary for the brutality they evince on every mission. They are often referred to as the 'mailed fist of Team Rocket,' and their appearance generally heralds a complete takeover. Arachnos is far less well-known, but given their drastically militaristic bent, they are of some concern to authorities; they use high explosives with more regularity than any other sect, and given their unusually close ties to numerous research divisions, both within and without Team Rocket jurisdiction, they are rumored to have a sizable stock of biological weaponry. They are also deeply involved in numerous Rocket research projects of every size and description, meaning that they have regular access to higher-tech equipment than most other branches. Fortunately, they are one of the smaller sects and to some degree a pariah in the TR ranks, and are therefore significantly less of a threat than certain others. The Core branch is the eponymous Team Rocket; Giovanni's personal division. They have access to everything: the entire organization's guaranteed support, funding, research, and territory. While they are generally relegated to guard and reserve duty, they are the finest soldiers in Team Rocket and lethally efficient in the rare occasion that they are called into action.
