Founding of MTF Zeta-7 Codenamed, "Hades Hounds"
Mobile Task Force Zeta-7 (“Hades Hounds”) was established by order of the O5 Council to serve as the Foundation’s primary rapid-response combat and containment unit. A strategic review conducted in 1981 identified critical delays across existing Task Forces, with no formation capable of deploying a full-spectrum ground, aviation, and intelligence package to global crisis zones within the required 24-hour window.
To close this operational gap, Zeta-7 was commissioned on 10 January 1982, undergoing a multi-year development program focused on high-tempo deployment, anomalous-environment conditioning, and integrated multi-domain operations. The Task Force achieved operational certification after successful field evaluations demonstrating independent global reach and sustained operational capability.
Zeta-7 functions as a self-contained airborne force specializing in direct action, special reconnaissance, containment operations, and unconventional warfare in support of Foundation strategic interests. Unlike most Task Forces, Zeta-7 maintains its own organic aviation, intelligence, and heavy-support elements, allowing for immediate deployment without reliance on external Foundation assets.
Its subordinate elements—Cerberus (ground operations), Harpy Squadron (aviation), Horizon (intelligence), and Gamma Cell (classified operations)—operate as an integrated unit capable of rapid crisis intervention, hostile anomaly interdiction, and independent containment until reinforcement assets arrive.
Zeta-7 remains the Foundation’s principal instrument for global rapid-response, maintaining constant readiness to project force into emergent anomalous events anywhere in the world within the mandated 24-hour timeframe.
Our Own SCP Universe
"Our world has grown more diverse, more divided, and more multipolar than at any time in living memory. Across the globe, nations have awakened to the reality of the anomalous—and the peril it brings. A select few have even become aware of us, and of the work our organization undertakes in the shadows.
Now, powers such as China, Russia, and Iran race to forge their own institutions—born of secrecy and ambition—designed to study, harness, or weaponize the anomalous for their own ends. They seek independence. Control. Advantage.
And as they rise, our circle of allies grows smaller. The world grows colder.
Our mission, once difficult, has become more challenging than ever before.
Yet it remains no less essential."
Why is our world built like this?
The game we operate within—Arma 3—comes with its own set of limitations. Those constraints can make missions feel repetitive or even disorganized if not carefully crafted. That’s why our universe is designed to push beyond the standard Arma experience.
In our setting, you’re not just carrying out operations involving anomalous objects—you’re doing it in a hostile nation that knows exactly who we are… and wants us dead. This tension adds stakes, immersion, and purpose to every deployment.
We also weave real-world events into our narrative to keep the experience grounded and relevant. The world you operate in mirrors the one outside your screen, but with an added layer: the SCP Universe. That blend of realism and the anomalous creates a unique environment unlike any other unit in Arma.
Whether you’re new to our organization or coming from elsewhere, this foundation is what shapes the missions we build and the stories we tell.
