EXALT

"Knowledge is power."

- EXALT motto

EXALT is a secret human paramilitary society determined to seize power while the governments of Earth are distracted with resisting the alien invasion in 2015.

EXALT proved to be a pesky opponent to XCOM as they viewed the organization a rival when it came to collecting and researching alien technology. In order to fight their rival EXALT send sleeper agents to Council nations which would hack into XCOM's research, spread propaganda among the populous, and sabotage XCOM's funding. Their main base was ultimately found out and destroyed, however, but it's unknown what happened to EXALT's leadership and surviving operatives.

While first using conventional weaponry in the later stage of the alien invasion EXALT started using laser weaponry and alien grenades. They also began to modify their agent's genes using Meld, an alien substance that made up of billions of cybernetic nanomachines.
