ARCA Team 1 was an elite Black Ops squad operating under SFOD. They only answered to the Supreme Chancellor and to General Elin Garza, and to the last only due to mutual respect. They first saw action during the time that Asation was overrun by Dread Master forces, tasked to blow up the Hypergate structures if the assault squad send by the Republic failed in their mission. ARCA Team 1 had a friendly rivalry with Havoc Squad, one that consisted of respect for each other, but they often would be competing against each other during military exercises.
