Peacekeepers
The United States and Russia have joined forces to form the International Peacekeeping Force, a body created by the Athens Peace Conference in the wake of nuclear war in the Middle East. Assigned control of every nation's orbiting nuclear hardware, the International Peacekeeping Force's brief is to prevent any military action across national borders, anywhere in the world. Period. The IPF is capable of dealing with the normal run of chicanery.
But, when super-terrorist Jamal Shamar makes off with the world's last half-dozen nuclear warheads, a new force is needed: mercenaries. An elite clandestine force available to anyone, anywhere, as long as the cause is world peace.
