Merged the separate Anti-Chaos Task Force page in: no official source uses that name, so the invented Directorate/Task Force split was removed and the two pages became one. Added the official spelling variants, the Yeet Squad framing, DK9, and the N.C.C.A. Aegis Nexus distinction. Removed the unsourced claim that Shorewater Industries supplies the A.C.D.

(Anti-Chaos Directorate) is the organization the player works for in ANANTA. It is Nova City's special enforcement unit responsible for investigating and combating Chaos-related Supernatural Anomalies. The player character, the Captain, leads its task force.3+The A.C.D. (Anti-Chaos Directorate) is the organization the player works for in Ananta. It is the body responsible for investigating and containing Chaos, the supernatural force destabilising Nova City. The player character, the Captain, leads its task force.44The Story Setup5+Official English copy also refers to the same organization simply as a special task force, and the Captain is described as the captain of the ACD task force. There is no separate agency behind that phrase: the Chinese, Japanese and Korean text all render one body, a countermeasures bureau, with a detachment inside it that the player leads.66When the Captain arrives in Nova City, the A.C.D. task force has been disbanded. The main story involves rebuilding it from scratch, starting with Taffy as the first recruit and gradually adding more characters through story progression and exploration.7+Name and Spelling88ACTF (Anti-Chaos Task Force)9+The full name is given as Anti-Chaos Directorate in the publisher announcement that introduced the game under its current title. Official materials are not consistent about the punctuation of the abbreviation, so all three forms below are genuine rather than errors to correct.1010The ACTF is the task force's field unit. It handles rapid-response operations against Chaos threats. The Yeet Squad, led by Taffy, is a sub-unit within the ACTF. The team operates with minimal bureaucracy. This puts emphasis on personality-driven dynamics over formal rank structures.11+FormWhere it is usedA.C.D.Publisher announcements, including the release-date announcement.

The publisher presents it as something the player assembles rather than an existing unit to join: the player meets characters with their own stories and quests, builds relationships, recruits allies, and unlocks items, badges and combat abilities along the way. Taffy is described in her own character text as a founding member of the squad, and the Captain is its captain.2121When the Captain arrives in Nova City, the task force has been disbanded. The opening hours of the story are framed as a recruitment arc. The first confirmed recruit is Taffy, with additional members joining through story missions, exploration, and bonding events. The roster grows on a clear narrative spine rather than as ad-hoc unlocks.22+Connected Organizations2323Operational Posture24+The A.C.D. is one of several bodies the player takes work from. Mission-giving factions named together in official material are the N.C.C.A., DK9 and Cat Express.2525Minimal bureaucracy, personality-driven dynamics over formal rankCrosses jurisdictional lines when investigating Chaos (works with N.C.C.A. but is not under it)Each agent's day-to-day life feeds into A.C.D. operations through the Identity System26+OrganizationRelationship to the A.C.D.N.C.C.A. (Nova City Crime Agency)Nova City’s police force, and a separate organization. Richie is the one confirmed launch character whose profession sits with it. One official trailer caption spells the abbreviation NCAA; that is a typo for N.C.C.A. and is not a second agency.DK9A faction the player runs missions for, named in the same official line as the N.C.C.A. and Cat Express. Nothing further about it has been published.Cat ExpressA courier outfit. Taffy’s delivery work runs through it.EonbugNamed in official materials in connection with Seymour. Its nature has not been described.Shorewater IndustriesThe company Mechanika works for. No relationship between the company and the A.C.D. has been stated in any published material.27+Task Forces Elsewhere in Nova City2728The words task force are not exclusive to the A.C.D. In-world reporting on Scope attributes an Aegis Nexus Task Force to the N.C.C.A., which responds to incidents alongside A.C.D. agents. The two should not be confused.30+Player Position2932The Captain leads the task force. Dialogue choices during recruitment scenes and bonding events route through the Captain's perspective. Team management is light in current materials, there is no confirmed loadout or rota mechanic, but the team composition the player builds drives which combat verbs and traversal tools they can swap into.33+The Captain leads the task force. Dialogue choices during recruitment scenes and bonding events route through the Captain’s perspective. Team management is light in current materials: there is no confirmed loadout or rota mechanic, but the team the player builds drives which combat verbs and traversal tools they can swap into. See Team Switching for how that works in play.34+What Has Not Been Published36+The A.C.D.’s formal place in Nova City government, its chain of command above the Captain, its headquarters, its funding, and its legal relationship to the N.C.C.A. have not been described in any official material as of September 2026. Its full agent roster at launch has not been announced either.
