Motto: "Ab Umbris Vigilemus"
The Blades of the Federation was started by elements of the Federation Council with the intent of serving as a check for Section 31. They operate in the shadows; only a handful outside of the Blades even know they exist. How they keep themselves a secret in as they use Starfleet Intelligence and Section 31 as shields for operations that become known. Among their most common types of operations are the elimination of enemies of the Federation quickly and quietly and gathering intelligence on potential threats to the Federation.
They are organized into seven different divisions each with its own commander. These commanders serve as the head of the organization and gather only when needed to plan elaborate operations or to set new or updated Standard Operating Procedures. Blades are taught to use bladed weapons (hence their name), but this is more out of tradition and these weapons serve in more of a ceremonial capacity than a practical weapon. Despite this a certain level of skill is required from all Blade members.
The uniform of the Blades consists of all black attire most notably a long, black jacket and gloves. However division commanders are given a dark gray scarf with a single colored stripe running the length of the scarf. The color depends upon the division the scarf is associated with.

Starfleet Division -
