The way it went down....................
Tiger Transit is a US shipping corporation in Delta Green canon, described in Delta Green: Countdown. It began as a CIA front in 1965 and has survived, with varying levels of government influence and leverage, at least into the late 1990s.
I plan of using the Fall of DELTA GREEN in connection with countdowns Tiger Transit as the shipping company who has been sending everything over to Vietnam for our war in southeast Asia. The United States declares war on poverty and sends half a million troops to Indochina; desegregates voting booths and shoots rockets at the moon. Everyone believes that if we put our mind to it and our backs into it, there’s nothing we can’t do to make the world better, for America and everyone else.
However, You know that this is a lie. You are an Agent of DELTA GREEN, an authorized but unacknowledged black program of the United States national security establishment, tasked to hunt and destroy the Cthulhu Mythos. You know that plans and ideals, peace and love, matter less than a single atom drifting in the galaxy. All you can do is rage against doom, burn out your mind and body, and damn your nonexistent soul keeping your family, your country, your planet, ignorant and safe for one more day.
In Countdown, Tiger Transit has offices in Miami, Memphis, Seattle, Washington D.C. and San Francisco, with its headquarters in New York and its airplane maintenance hub at Midway Airport in Chicago. As long as Tiger Transit maintains its unique support from the government, it may well be flying with illegal cargo to and from Midway or Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
There are several smaller fields near Chicago for special jobs: Palwaukee Airport a.k.a. Chicago Executive (lots of "discrete" charter and private freight), Lake-in-the-Hills Airport (reliever for O'Hare, notable for taking small freight overflow), Chicago Rockford International (UPS does freight through there, with ground logistics hub nearby) and Waukegan Regional. All of these have a reasonably-sized Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian or Hmong population within 20 minutes driving as of 2012.
By 2025 Tiger Transit in my campaigns can just about ship and do air mail drops anywhere in the world. So, In my campaigns it is still a viable company as a privately owned Import/export company. In my modern day campaigns it's owners are a combination of Joeseph Burkes Decedents, the Tcho-Tcho survivors from the Vietnam refuges that made it into the us, as well as the serving members of the original Tiger Force from Vietnam who now serve as their private army of security specialist, and the CIA who still uses it as an off the books shipping and receiving of whatever they need to do across the world.
Update: Tiger Transit as a Cover Story:
Plausible Deniability: The "Tiger Transit" cover provides a seemingly legitimate front for their covert operations. They could be involved in transporting goods, personnel, or even engaging in legitimate business ventures while secretly carrying out clandestine missions.
Logistics and Resources: This cover could provide them with access to resources and transportation networks that would be difficult to obtain otherwise. They could utilize trucks, planes, and even ships for covert operations, blending in with legitimate cargo.
Recruitment and Training: The "Tiger Transit" cover could be used to recruit and train new operatives, providing a seemingly legitimate career path while secretly grooming them for special operations.
Dealing with the Supernatural: The cover could also be used to explain away unusual events or the presence of the supernatural. Strange occurrences or disappearances could be attributed to accidents, mechanical failures, or even encounters with wildlife, providing a plausible explanation for supernatural activity.
CIA Military Paratroopers/Rangers:
Special Operations Expertise: This background would equip them with advanced training in infiltration, combat, and covert operations, making them highly effective in dealing with the supernatural threats they encounter.
Access to Resources: As part of a specialized military unit, they would have access to cutting-edge technology, weaponry, and intelligence resources, which could be crucial in combating the supernatural.
Dealing with Government Bureaucracy: Their military background would give them experience in navigating bureaucratic channels, obtaining clearances, and operating within the constraints of government policies (though sometimes bending those rules).
The "Black Ops" Element:
Deniability and Secrecy: Operating as an "off-the-books" black ops team allows them to operate outside of official channels, pursue unconventional methods, and engage in missions that would be politically or legally untenable for official military units.
Moral Ambiguity: The "black ops" nature of their work introduces moral dilemmas and ethical gray areas. They might be forced to make difficult decisions, engage in morally questionable activities, and operate in the shadows, potentially blurring the lines between right and wrong.
The "Tiger Force Shadow Saga" becomes even more complex and intriguing with this evolution. It introduces elements of espionage, covert operations, and political intrigue, all while maintaining the core theme of battling supernatural threats. The "Tiger Transit" cover provides a layer of realism and plausible deniability, while the "black ops" element adds a sense of danger and moral ambiguity to the narrative.
How do you envision this "black ops" aspect playing out in the "Tiger Force Shadow Saga"?
What types of missions would they undertake?
What challenges and ethical dilemmas would they face?
Fell free to help me Answer these Questions and more in the comments below!
I will be adding more to this page as I continue to update my 2025 Modern day Campaign of Tiger Force Shadow Saga.
To be continued Yours Captain Hedges
