ACE

ANTI-CRIME ENFORCEMENT
ACE is a US Government agency created in 1928 specifically to fight mobsters, communists and foreign conspiracies attack the United States of America in the homeland itself.

All ACE agents were addressed as "Ace" so that a man called John Smith would become Ace Smith once he joined the agency.

During its first 50 years of existence ACE had remarkable resources and access to amazing scientific inventions. However during the Carter presidency the resources were stripped from ACE and handed over to CIA, DIA and DISC, leaving ACE as little more than a field office of the FBI in terms of its resources and reach.

ACE existed from 1928 until 2002 at which time it was folded into the Department of Homeland Security. However, the structure of ACE if not its original government support and logistics has survived its official decommissioning and it is believed that there are still ACE agents, now belonging to an unofficial or privatized organization, albeit one with strong government ties.
