Spectrum
Spectrum was founded in 2067 by the World Government to
tackle the problem of terrorism still faced by an almost-unified Earth. Headed by
Colonel White, a former admiral of the
World Navy, it comprises of an elite group of colour-coded officers and lower ranking agents who
retain their own names.
There are Spectrum bases all over the world, but their headquarters is not on land at all. It is
40,000 feet in the air. This floating aircraft carrier is known as Cloudbase, and is home to the
highest ranking officers, including Captains
Scarlet, Blue,
Ochre,
Magenta and
Grey, and Colonel White's able assistant,
Lieutenant Green. The base also houses Spectrum's team of elite
fighter pilots. Known as the Angels, they are a ruthless and deadly fighting force to be reckoned
with - and are all female.
Although Spectrum's primary objective is to deal with terrorism, they are drawn into the war with the
Mysterons by the actions of one of their own agents,
Captain Black, and continue with the fight,
shielding the world from the terrible truth about these powerful aliens.
