ComStar knows all.
- Anastasius Focht
Jerome Blake formed ROM in 2811 after Chancellor Ilsa Liao attempted to bribe ComStar
technicians to defect, and then sent a terrorist group in an attack against the HPG station on Nanking. He proposed the immediate creation of a covert security force to protect ComStar's precious HPG network from both external and internal threats. According to Blake's proposal, operatives would work as undercover agents within the ranks of ComStar's technicians, as well as posing as citizens. This secret intelligence network would locate threats to ComStar and eliminate them before any damage was done. ROM reported directly to the Prime Administrator.
