The Active teams were specialized black ops teams that were assembled by Starfleet Intelligence in the 2380s. These teams existed in apparent contravention of Federation law as no council oversight was provided for these teams.
Known Active Teams
- Active Two - a covert surveillance team that kept track of various Federation citizens, included Admiral William T. Riker. (ST - The Fall novel: The Poisoned Chalice)
- Active Four - a covert black ops team that was assembled to locate and capture the assassins responsible for the death of Federation President Nanietta Bacco. The team was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Jan Kincade and had as members Thomas Riker, Tuvok, and Nog. After capturing the Cardassians responsible the team was diverted to Nydak II. Tuvok, Nog, and Riker attempted to keep Kincade from torturing the prisoners to death. The prisoners all died in combat with Klingon mercenaries and members of Active Four loyal to Kincade. Kincade was killed by Nog before she could kill Tuvok. Nog, Riker, Tuvok, and Ixxen were rescued by the Titan while the remaining members were all killed by Klingons loyal to Chancellor Martok.
