Sector Seven


 * Sector Seven is a human organization in the Movie continuity family. It doesn't run on "feelings."



"We're the government. Sector Seven." "Never heard of it." "Never will."

- Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky

Sector Seven is a secret American government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own secret website.

Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company S7 Industries.

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:


 * Stanford Julius Morehouse
 * Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
 * Neville Octavian Brewster
 * Percy Emerson Whitting
 * Wallace Wilson Clairmont
 * Alistair Jennings Crowther
 * Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future," whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a local pizza boy can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent Alexander Powers informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist Rebecca Howard, ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the N.B.E. threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious Agent X began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public.

IDW Movie Prequel comic

 * Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the Mega-Man underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.


 * Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the Golden Disk. Most intriguing indeed.

Ghosts of Yesterday novel

 * 1969 - Sector Seven (headed by Walter Simmons, known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an Ice Man-derived spacecraft (Ghost 1) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with NBEs. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious "alien cube". Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program.

Equipment
As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit


To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any captured N.B.E.s assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an alien robot attack in Qatar, usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

M9-2 Harpoon Gun


The M9-2 Harpoon Gun is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of Rebecca Howard. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile aliens and contain them for cryo-freezing.

Pursuit van


Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

AH-64 Apache attack helicopter


Sector Seven uses modified AH-64 Apache helicopters fitted with cryo-stasis rocket pods to capture N.B.E.s

SUV


For operations within urban/suburban zones or for human targets, Sector Seven agents travel in custom black GMC Yukons. They do not hold up well to being lifted by their roofs by large N.B.E.s, nor can they withstand electromagnetic pulses.

One of these SUVs in the form of a Cadillac Escalade was hit by All Spark energy, and became the Decepticon Stockade.


 * (Note: These SUVs also appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game.)

Assault buggy


Based upon the Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) formerly used by the United States Military, this all-purpose, high-speed recon and attack vehicle can be fitted with a standard M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun or Sector Seven's specially-developed weapons, ranging from cryo-freezing cannons (though this requires cryo-tanks to be installed in the rear compartment) and to belt-fed automatic grenade launchers capable of firing armour-piercing sabot rounds.

One of these buggies was imbued with power from the All Spark, and became the Autobot Landmine.


 * (Note: These buggies also appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game.)

Sector Seven Drone
These large treaded robots patrol the interior of Hoover Dam serving as security patrols. They are also found at certain military installations seemingly not in association with the secret agency. They are equipped with two powerful cannons.


 * (Note: The Sector Seven Drones only appear in the console version of the Transformers movie game.)
