Imperial Intelligence:
Internal Organizations Bureau
A division of Imperial Intelligence, the Internal Organizations Bureau (or IOB) protects the test of Intelligence from both internal and external threats. Its agents police other divisions to verify loyalty and reliability. While some of its agents operate in a covert fashion, most have high visibility and appear to be civilized political appointees. They can be extremely ruthless, however, as many enemies of the Empire can attest.
Called "IntOrg" by those within Imperial Intelligence, this bureau's mandate is to protect Imperial Intelligence's security from outside threats and those which might be generated from within. As IntOrg must deal with the rest of Imperial Intelligence, its agents have cultivated a highly civil manner and a strong sense of political etiquette, and then combined those with complete ruthlessness when the stakes are high and the threat is real. IntOrg is commited to the security of Imperial Intelligence, but rarely abuses its authority or conducts political witch-hunts. As a result, IntOrg enjoys a good reputation among the agents of other bureaus.
Internal Security Branch (IntSec)
Internal Security Branch (IntSec) is responsible for the physical security of the personnel, material, and facilities of Imperial Intelligence. Origiunally considered a branch for the unambitious (especially by members of IntCon), IntSec has upgraded its personnel and procedures in response to bolder attacks by forces of the Rebellion. Their abilities have improved faster than their image; there is still a huge body of IntSec jokes making the rounds of the bureaus and branches.
IntSec officers are the only Imperial Intelligence personnel to obviously carry weapons while within intelligence facilities. They have a great many plainclothes agents who will operate outside the facilities, trying to spot and stop potential trouble before it is realized.
Internal Counterintelligence Bureau (IntCon)
Internal Counterintelligence Branch (IntCon) looks for enemy agents or spy rings which may have been implanted in Imperial Intelligence by the Rebellion or other forces inimical to the New Order. Through Sector Plexus, they have an extraordinary freedom to access any data they may consider useful, in many cases obtaining the information more readily than would a member of the Ubiqtorate. IntCon deals with all levels of Imperial Intelligence, but recently they have begun to devote a greater proportion of their resources to personnel at the bureau level of Imperial Intelligence. IntCon almost resembles Imperial Intelligence in miniature, with its own sections for Analysis, Operations, and Intelligence. The boundaries between these sections often blur, and IntOrg is renowned for its loose structure and the informal environment in which its agents work. Information inside IntOrg is heavily secured against access by parties outside IntOrg, but there is literally in information security from other members of IntOrg. This openness is how IntOrg monitors itself -- every decision, action, or piece of data generated by a member of IntOrg is available to any other member of IntOrg who chooses to examine it. This lack of secrecy, and often privacy, makes it almost impossible for an enemy spy to operate within IntCon.
