They target Laser and Heavy Laser class BETA to disable their enemy's immense firepower. This merciless team's orders are given the highest priority, and they follow them so exactly that the 666th is known to ignore allied distress calls that would interfere with an ongoing mission, even if only for a moment.

The first opening theme is "White Forces" by fripside, and the ending theme is "Kanashimi ga Jidai o Kakeru" (哀しみが時代を駆ける) by Zähre. The soundtrack is composed by Evan Call of Elements Garden.
