Unit 14 (also stylized as Unit Fourteen) was an experimental research organization that conducted illegal experiments with the use of Element X, creating various technologically advanced weaponry to be sold to the black market.
During the raid at the Humane Labs, the attacking Russian PMC were able to acquire critical data drives and technology from the labs prior to being forced to withdraw from the facility with the arrival of the members of Division One after their return from the future and US reinforcements. However, due to Division One's unorthodox methods of time travel, a universal paradox was created in the form of a spiraling rift in the sky, though it would be sealed off thanks to the efforts of four mobsters from the past, who sacrificed themselves by sealing the paradox within the newly-created Fractured Realm.
After the closure of the rift, the Russian PMC began reverse-engineering the technology and research they acquired, forming a research organization known as Unit 14, led by an unnamed leader. Over time, the organization employed former members of other scientific and militaristic organizations from around the world, using their collective knowledge to harness the powers of the mysterious and recently-discovered Element X to create potent weapons and technology unrivaled by any other. Upon learning that Division One were able to return to the past after venturing to the future, Unit 14 sought to capture them and learn of the future for their own intentions.
Creating a Time Cycle[]
After using moles in the US Military to pinpoint their location via satellites, Unit 14 would later capture the former Division One members from their safehouse in Colorado. Through brutal interrogations, Unit 14 came to learn exactly what happens in the future, learning that they would ultimately come to an end at the hands of the time-traveling members of Division One. Intending for them to suffer for their actions, Unit 14 utilized Element X to wipe their memories before placing them in certain positions that would allow their past selves to encounter them and ultimately kill them in order for them to return to the past. In the process, a cycle in time was created, allowing Unit 14 to continue existing within it, all while tormenting the members of Division One for their actions against them.
During the process of wiping their memories, Amici, close friends of Division One, attempted to stop Unit 14 from creating the cycle upon learning of their plans. However, they failed to stop Unit 14 from transporting them to Station 11, where they would lose their memories. However, Mackenzie Davis, the leader of Amici, would write a letter addressed to the past selves of Division One before disposing of it, allowing it to end up at a junkyard the past Division One would one day encounter.
Destruction of the Time Cycle[]
During a rotation of the cycle, the past Division One discovered Mac's letter, causing the cycle to begin to derail. After discovering the Harbinger weapon at a Unit 14 excavation site, the past Division One used the weapon to remove their souls, causing them to become Soulless while also breaking the cycle. Despite the destruction of the cycle, various things still remained such as the Fractured Realm. A few years later, Unit 14 attempted to create another cycle by destroying the world by triggering nuclear meltdowns around the world. While they succeeded in doing so, they were unable to create a cycle.
Defeat[]
After Amici reformed Division One by destroying their Soulless, Unit 14 attempted to further weaponize their Element X samples one last time, though Division One, now members of Umbra Ops, would eventually kill the Unit 14 Leader and destroy the last remnants of Unit 14 in Dubai, ultimately disbanding Unit 14, though the presence of their work still hung over the world within the Fractured Realm.
