Imperial Intelligence
Intelligence Bureau
When Analysis finishes sorting, cleaning, decoding, or otherwise manipulating the data sent to them, they pass it on to Intelligence. Intelligence has culled experts from all over the Empire. They have recruited military experts, cultural experts, experts in politics, economics, science and technology, experts in almost every possible field of endeavor, intelligence has plucked experts from universities, corporations, planetary governments, artistic movements, religious movements, the media, the underworld – they have pulled in experts from nearly every conceivable place or organization, including some turncoats from the Rebellion. Intelligence combines the vast knowledge of its agents in the galaxy to predict trends or future actions of the enemies of the New Order. These predictions are refined into reports transmitted to the Ubiqtorate. From these reports, the Ubiqtorate established priorities and sets strategies from the whole of Imperial Intelligence.
External Communications (ExComm)
Sector Plexus has the normal conduits for information between the Bureaus and the system cells. ExComm is a branch with its own communications equipment. While much smaller than Sector Plexus, ExComm is used for emergency communication with system cells, or for priority communication with the military forces of the Empire. ExComm is used for those rare times when the labyrinthine communication works of Sector Plexus are just not quick enough.
Sedition
Sedition is a branch of Intelligence which specializes in knowledge and predictions on organized opposition to the Empire. Sedition has been growing rapidly in the past few years, keeping pace with the increased resentment to the Emperor’s rule.
Crisis
Crisis is not a permanent branch of Intelligence. It is created as need arises, a Crisis branch for each active hot spot within the Empire. A Crisis branch is in constant contact with the Ubiqtorate, and ExComm facilities are at their disposal for direct contacts with Grand Moffs, and even the Emperor if the situation is dire enough.
Sector Branches
The sector branches are the basic divisions of Intelligence. There is a sector branch for each sector in the Empire, and each sector branch has scores of hundreds of experts within it. Sedition and Crisis draw from the sector branches as is appropriate for the situation currently under consideration.
