Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species

The Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species, led by the Strangler Fig, is a subdivision of the Department of Floaters.

It was set up specifically to deal with Sues of species that are more powerful than usual &mdash; such as Eldar (Lord of the Rings), Chiss or Jedi (Star Wars), mutants (X-Men and other comic continua), or any other Sue who is likely to prove tricky for DMS agents. The deluge of badfic means that ESAS is not alone in dealing with these Sues, however.

Thus far, ESAS's known missions are limited to Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The agents of ESAS played a central role in the Les Misérables Songfic Crisis of 2006.

The office of the Strangler Fig is RC 2817, and ESAS maintains a Training Room in RC 2819 for the use of agents during their scant off-duty time (rumours of a bar and comfy couches in this room are unsubstantiated). For some reason, ESAS also administers the PPC Mongoose Shelter in RC 2816. Don't ask.

 * Aegis

History
ESAS was formed in early 2004 by the Strangler Fig, who was previously a secretary in the Department of Mary Sues. Agents Aegis and Iodin were the first transfers to ESAS, followed some time later by Kern and Alagos. In late 2005, Logan and Entropy were transferred from DMS.

After the 2008 Macrovirus Epidemic, ESAS was joined by new recruit Agent Riboflavin. Over the following years, the deluge of badfic increased to the point where ESAS required additional staff, and Agents Sakimori and Kolosov were transferred in September 2010.
