Imperial Naval Intelligence

Imperial Naval Intelligence is the interstellar and inter-polity intelligence force of the space forces of the Unified Forces of the Imperium.

Description (Specifications)

Imperial Naval Intelligence (INI): The mandate of Imperial Naval Intelligence is to surveil and collect data on everything from current events on Imperial worlds, interplanetary incidents, interstellar anomalies, potential threats to the Imperium, conflicts between rival corporate entities and merchant activity at all levels. Imperial Naval Intelligence is composed of Imperial Naval Officers (the vast majority of whom are administrators) who are posted to most Imperial Navy bases and who use the navy’s considerable interstellar reach to gather information to accomplish the above goals. Naval Intelligence administrators are given broad discretionary powers that include the ability to hire and train agents. Mid-level INI officers are often called ‘minders’ and are permitted to build intelligence networks according to certain guidelines and limitations, which in turn are composed of smaller units called cells that are typically comprised of 4–12 individual agents. Cells are carefully cultivated and managed by their minders in order to prevent their cells from working at cross purposes or inadvertently interfering with other cells' missions, since a given cell might not even be aware of another cell's existence within the same organization or that of another minder.
