Para-Viper

"We are experts in underwater operations. If you need it built, seized, destroyed or anything in between, we make it happen."

EELs are the underwater demolitions specialists of the Cobra legions. They man and operate Cobra marine outposts disguised as off-shore drilling rigs, and augment the crews of larger Cobra naval vessels. Eels undergo a rigorous two-part training program in the warm shark- and pirate-infested waters of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, and in the frigid dark waters of the North Atlantic. Their training regiment includes marine structural engineering, explosive ordnance, underwater fighting techniques, and marine geology. Eels are proficient with sophisticated electronic detection gear, the latest in plastic explosives, and state-of-the-art, closed-circuit self-contained breathing systems. All of this combined makes them the most feared creatures to ever swim the sea. If a Great White shark is a fear machine with fins, the Eels are Great Whites with plastic explosives and a spear gun! No ship is safe from their underwater mines, and their undersea sabotage skills are unparalleled.

OOC Notes
MARS uses its own underwater specialists, the Undertow.

Players
Eels are available to app as DCs or OCs.
