Consular Operations, more commonly called ConsOps, was a fictional intelligence agency run by the UCAS CIA and CAS ERLA conducting illegal black ops. ConsOps conducted intelligence-gathering, counterintelligence, counterespionage, and assassinations without Congressional knowledge, oversight or approval. Many of its agents were seconded from the CIA to ERLA. UCAS Secretary of State Gerald Humphrey shut down ConsOps in 2055, after increased tensions between the UCAS and the CAS, due to the CAS' involvement with the Compensation Army and North Virginia secessionism.
