The NWO Revised Book

The Revised Convention Books were killed when the old World of Darkness ended. However, parts of NWO: Revised were drafted and written before that happened. This can be considered the last Mage: The Ascension supplement to ever end up being penned.

Chor Ignis

Chor Ignis is successor to Team Fireball and inherits a long and hallowed history. Its various line-ups have had different faces while maintaining its fundamental identity as Tempus Spatium's mailed fist. Despite being briefly reduced to zero fireballers when Mari and Ren both died and increasing numbers of other chantry members achieving comparable levels of firepower on paper, the revived Mari managed to maintain her grip on the Team Fireball reputation through excellent rolling and eagerness to light things on fire whenever the excuse presents itself. Recently gone on a road trip to New Orleans.

Chor Memor

The foundation of Chor Memor can be traced to the first time Mari died, leaving Cara alone and Mari's grounding at the start of Season 3 resulted in Cara being thrust firmly into a solo leadership role (though she still sees herself as belonging to Team Fireball). Thus, Chor Memor can be considered a phenomenon that occurs whenever Mari is not present, much like Chor Femella occurs when Kana shows up with the Fireball regulars. In the field, Chor Memor tends to specialize in counteraction against hostile mages and addressing crises caused by mage attacks, as demonstrated in incidents such as the battle to reclaim Hasseltine House, Cara's counterattack against Angelo's mind attack on Mari, and the general counterattack in Chicago that followed the Technocratic offensives there. Recently escaped successfully from Cuba, involving a stolen cigarette boat, and a drugged and gagged British tourist locked in a locker on her yacht. In combined raid with the Saints Chor Memor destroyed a Techno Node (involving feeding off of the nightmares of 48 Changeling Children to produce quint and tass) while killing 2 HIT-Marks, over 12 regular goons, and potentially killing Doctor Pannion and some soldiers. The key result (besides the node) was the rescue of Natalie Boerman, Derek's old flame.

Chor SOS

Tempus Spatium's oldest cabal, Chor Vestis is the successor to the erstwhile Team Kungfu and is dominated by the antics of Controversial Orphan Mage Kuga Kanako. At one point, rumors had it that a Hollywood Gunman would join the Samurai Girl and Kungfu Maiden, threatening a rename from Team Kungfu to Team Action Genre. However, this did not come to pass. Instead, the team split up briefly near the end of Season 2, with Kana joining Team Girls and Tia subsequently dying as part of Team Flamesaw. At the beginning of Season 3, Chor Vestis recruited Shu Izanagi as a new ranger. As a cabal, Chor Vestis deals in protection, supernatural hunting, and social justice. Their tactics revolve mostly around stealth and melee with every member having eight or more dice in each of those pools (though Pam's Melee value is unknown). Their opponents are usually non-mages, with organised undead being the most common foe. An unspoken mission is that whoever is with Kana at the time (usually just one of the others) has to keep their irresponsible leader alive, which has sometimes proven difficult given Kana's poor communication habits and tendency to rush ahead with independent action. Despite this, Chor Vestis remains the only cabal to date which has not lost a mage (though Tia died soon after the team broke up for Shady Vale).

Chor TEMPEST

Chor TEMPEST constitutes a recent revival of the erstwhile Team Hacker which ended its short life ignobly when an earlier save of Proteus and ex-Technocrat Reynolds were chased from a routine recon mission by holographic laser bears and eight four points of Technocratic Hate. Reynolds' death laid the groundwork for a patched Proteus to restart as Chor TEMPEST with his faithful familiar Beta-chan and newcomer Ichijou. Their initial mission, the Great Net Dive, proved to be a high point in the Tempus Spatium's marauder relations as well as a great success. Though Ichijou is a natural member of the team, he does get lent out to other cabals occasionally, hence why Proteus is the defining member, though he spends a lot of time helping elsewhere too and other Tempus Spatium members can usually rely on Beta-chan being available even when Proteus is otherwise occupied, no matter where they are in the world. Hence, Chor TEMPEST's domain seems to be C3I, long range buffing and support, intelligence gathering, oversight, and (through Ichijou), long range strike. Recent events have led to Chor TEMPEST taking on Technocratic infiltration roles, leading to the assignment of Kanako Kuga and Christopher Westin to Chor TEMPEST and drastically altering its mission profile.

Tentative Update: Saved Tokyo. Made Lin Siegen's crew very disappointed at the lack of demons to sword/machine gun. Brofisted a Technocrat. Trashed five mecha.
