The Black Ops' are an enemy troop from the videogame Area 51''. They are a consistent enemy type that stalk the corridors of Area 51 as protagonist, Ethan Cole, makes his way through the site.

Area 51
The Black Ops were created using alien D.N.A.. As Area 51 was created to research the alien D.N.A. and technology, they are the first team dispatched to deal with any issues there. The Black Ops were commissioned by the Illuminati, an American shadow-government. Head research Dr. Cray, was developing a genetically spliced creature called the Theta, but was not willing to let the Illuminati capture and replicate it to be used as weapon. In an effort to prevent his work from killing untold numbers of people, Cray, instead unleashed the Theta letting it ravage Area 51 to rather than see it turned lose on the world. The Black Ops are called in by the Illuminati to clear out the facility and capture the creature for replication later.

Threat
The members of the Black Ops are neither human nor alien, but their own species. They are clones and have all been conditioned to be completely loyal to the Illuminati. They are much tougher than normal humans and can adapt to alien technology interfaces. Most soldiers are color coded blue however the ones given cloaking devices, when visible these ops are recognizable via their red uniforms. As conditioned soldiers of the Illuminati, the Black Ops express no empathy for those around them - as shown when one threatening a scientist who states he has a family and is shot in cold-blood, the soldier responding that, his services were no longer needed.
