Unit-07, callsign Nephilim, is the senior formation of T.A.R.P. Division and the most important unit the Department fields.
Function
Nephilim holds Level-4 of Site AZAZEL and the custody of The Apple. It is additionally the principal experimentation branch of the United States armed forces for anomalous integration in human beings. Everything the military knows about what a person becomes in proximity to the object was established here, deliberately, on volunteers.
The gradient
Proximity to The Apple correlates with the acquisition of anomalous properties in exposed personnel. Within Unit-07 this is not treated as a hazard to be minimised. It is the method.
Operators are posted deep and left there. The unit's internal structure is a depth ladder: the longer and lower the posting, the more integrated the operator, and the less able they are to be withdrawn. Upward rotation exists in the establishment tables.
Command relationship
Nephilim answers to Strategic Command directly and to no other body, and is therefore the only formation in the Department outside the authority of the Security Council. Its actions are justiciable solely before the U.S. Federal Special Court.
On the callsign
The Nephilim of the tradition are the issue of something from above descending and mixing with something below. The tradition is consistent that they were not an improvement.
